Abstract

One indication of progress in the field of entrepreneurship is its growing number of research centers. Their potential to hasten and guide the field's development warrants scholars’ attention to their role in entrepreneurship research. We report the results of a survey of entrepreneurship research centers conducted in 1988. Twenty-nine centers provided usable responses to our questionnaire. We report and analyze their ages, affiliations, and principal research constituencies; several dimensions of their research orientations; their research budgets and the types of support they provide; and how their findings are disseminated. Our analyses detect a pattern of associations among larger budgets, applications-based research orientations, and the presence of state or local governments as a principal constituent of a center. Finally we analyze research centers’ topical interests, comparing them to those of researchers.
