This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license.In this book the authors present a
challenge for future research to build a stronger more complete understanding of
entrepreneurial phenomena. They argue that this more complete picture of entrepreneurial
phenomena will likely come from scholars who undertake at least some trailblazing projects
from scholars who broaden the range of research questions the potential outcomes of
entrepreneurial action and the selection and combination of research methods and from
researchers who avoid the endless debates about the margins of the field and its sub-fields or
about whether one theoretical or philosophical lens is superior to another. This book offers
suggestions for future research through a variety of topics including prosocial action
innovation family business sustainability and development and the financial social and
psychological costs of failure. It promises to make an important contribution to the
development of thefield and help academics organizations and society make useful
contributions to the generation of entrepreneurial research.
