Abstract

In this chapter, we attempt to track the trajectory of entrepreneurship as a scholarship. As a scholarship, entrepreneurship focuses on theory-building and the development of effective tools that impact on its practices. Historically, theorizing of entrepreneurship has depended on the dominant scientific worldview, available research tools and concepts developed in other fields. This approach had the inadvertent consequence of delaying the development of effective tools for entrepreneurship and its distinct theories. Over the last two decades, however, research and theory-building that focus on human agency and action have gained legitimacy with a positive impact on entrepreneurship.
