Challenging Entrepreneurship ResearchAuthor(s): Hans Landstrom, Annaleena Parhankangas, Alain Fayolle, Philippe Riot\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781138922310, 978-1138922310\nSynopsis\nThe growth of entrepreneurship research has been accompanied by an increased convergence and institutionalization of the field. In many ways this is of course positive, but it also represents how the field has become \""mainstream\"" with the concomitant risk that individual scholars become embedded in a culture and incentive system that emphasizes and rewards incremental research questions, while reducing the incentives for scholars to conduct challenging research. \n\nThis book challenges this status quo from accepted theories, methodologies and paradigmatic assumptions, to the relevance (or lack of) for contemporary practice and the impact of key journals on scholars directions in entrepreneurship research. \n\nAn invited select.
