Abstract
This paper summarizes the address I gave at the award ceremony for the 2026 Global Award for Entrepreneurship Research. My address chronicled my academic journey from being an undergraduate student at the University of Richmond in Virginia to the present day, highlighting key events and individuals who shaped my research efforts in the areas of entrepreneurship, innovation, and attendant public policy. This paper also summarizes the seminar topics and keynote addresses that I presented at various venues in Stockholm during the week following the award ceremony.
这篇文章总结了我在2026全球创业研究奖颁奖典礼上的演讲。我的演讲记录了我从弗吉尼亚州里士满大学(University of Richmond)的本科生到现在的学术历程,重点介绍了在创业、创新和随之而来的公共政策领域影响我研究工作的关键事件和个人。本文还总结了我在颁奖典礼后一周内在斯德哥尔摩各个场所发表的研讨会主题和主题演讲。
期刊介绍:
Small Business Economics: An Entrepreneurship Journal (SBEJ) publishes original, rigorous theoretical and empirical research addressing all aspects of entrepreneurship and small business economics, with a special emphasis on the economic and societal relevance of research findings for scholars, practitioners and policy makers.
SBEJ covers a broad scope of topics, ranging from the core themes of the entrepreneurial process and new venture creation to other topics like self-employment, family firms, small and medium-sized enterprises, innovative start-ups, and entrepreneurial finance. SBEJ welcomes scientific studies at different levels of analysis, including individuals (e.g. entrepreneurs'' characteristics and occupational choice), firms (e.g., firms’ life courses and performance, innovation, and global issues like digitization), macro level (e.g., institutions and public policies within local, regional, national and international contexts), as well as cross-level dynamics.
As a leading entrepreneurship journal, SBEJ welcomes cross-disciplinary research.
