Abstract

Contemporary field studies could avoid the fate of their post-World War II predecessors (the first article In this issue), by being used as a basis for knowledge cumulation. This could be achieved by using published field studies for coding and statistical analysis, or by using other researchers’ data for indexing and ethnographic analysis. Coding and Indexing should distinguish classical from radial categories, to improve conceptual clarity about “entrepreneurship.â€
