Abstract
Entrepreneurship as a field of study has many sub-dimensions due to its usefulness in society, which makes it difficult to gain a holistic understanding of its key elements. The aim of this article is to explore how to define entrepreneurship by focusing on different areas of entrepreneurship in terms of definitions and research opportunities in order to challenge conventional practices. Each area of entrepreneurship is discussed with the goal of exploring new research questions and methodological approaches that are currently lacking in the entrepreneurship discourse and can be refined through future research activity. This enables future research directions to be identified regarding entrepreneurship in general and specific types of entrepreneurship thereby contributing to research and practice about the importance of entrepreneurship in society.
期刊介绍:
For leaders and managers in an increasingly globalized world, Global Business and Organizational Excellence (GBOE) offers first-hand case studies of best practices of people in organizations meeting varied challenges of competitiveness, as well as perspectives on strategies, techniques, and knowledge that help such people lead their organizations to excel. GBOE provides its readers with unique insights into how organizations are achieving competitive advantage through transformational leadership--at the top, and in various functions that make up the whole. The focus is always on the people -- how to coordinate, communicate among, organize, reward, teach, learn from, and inspire people who make the important things happen.
