Big Questions and Great Answers in Entrepreneurship Research underscores the progress that has been made and the challenges that remain within the field of entrepreneurship research by considering the field’s rapid expansion over the last thirty years.
This book highlights the importance of situating research alongside philosophical and ontological questions and methodological considerations. Chapters describe qualitative research methodologies, including exploratory autoethnographic accounts of entrepreneurship experiences, and examine contemporary quantitative research methods. Potential impacts on research, such as AI and big data, are also interrogated to provide readers with a stimulating view of the future scholarly landscape.
Academics focusing on entrepreneurship, research methods in business and business education will benefit from this book. It will also prove important for students seeking insight into future research ventures.
