In this book, one of the most highly recognized entrepreneurship
scholars shares in a personal and readable way his rich experience
and ideas on how entrepreneurship can be researched.
Entrepreneurship is a phenomenon of tremendous societal importance.
It is also an elusive phenomenon, which makes researching it fun,
fascinating-and frustrating at times. In this fully updated
edition, numerous real examples accompany the treatment of problems
and solutions concerning design, sampling, operationalization and
analysis. Researching Entrepreneurship is targeted primarily at
research students and academics who are relatively new to research
or to entrepreneurship research. This said, basic knowledge of
research methods is assumed, and when foundational issues are
discussed they are typically approach from a non-standard angle
and/or with an eye to illuminate entrepreneurship-specific problems
and solutions. This makes large parts of the contents potentially
valuable for entrepreneurship scholars at any level of research
proficiency. The book is also of interest to sophisticated,
non-academic users with a professional interest in collecting and
analyzing data from emerging and young ventures, and to those who
make use of published entrepreneurship research. For example,
analysts in marketing research or consultancy firms, business
associations, statistical agencies and other government offices may
find this book to be a valuable tool. Moreover, while the examples
are derived from entrepreneurship research, the book provides a
unique "experienced empirical researcher" (rather than "textbook
method expert") treatment of issues that are of equal relevance
across the social sciences. This goes for topics like the role of
theory; research design; validity assessment; statistical
inference, and replication. Entrepreneurship research has developed
rapidly in the decade that has passed since the first edition.
Therefore, all chapters have been comprehensively updated and many
have been extended; sometimes to twice the original length. Two of
the original chapters have been excluded to make room for entirely
new chapters on "the Dependent Variable" and "The Entrepreneurship
Nexus." While retaining a unique, personal tone, the author uses
examples and references that build on contributions from a large
number of top entrepreneurship researchers.
