Entrepreneurship as Growth: Growth as Entrepreneurship

An increasing number of scholars identify themselves as "entrepreneurship researchers" (and educators), and would refer to the field of research they are affiliated with as "entrepreneurship research." Many of these researchers would also have a second home in some other application area such as small business, family business, or innovation; in a business sub-discipline like marketing, finance, or strategic management; or in a discipline such as psychology, sociology, or economics. Apart from occasionally making it into mainstream journals, the North American members of this community of scholars would regard Journal of Business Venturing and Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice as primary outlets for their research as well as important reading for their professional development. Further, they are likely regulars at the Babson College/Kauffman Foundation Entrepreneurship Research Conference and/or members of the Entrepreneurship Division of the Academy of Management. In other parts of the world other journals, conferences, and associations could be added, but the North American ones would not be entirely disregarded.
