A (partial) review of entrepreneurship literature across disciplines

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to stimulate researchers’ interest by acquainting them with some aspects of the entrepreneurship literature they may not have known.

Design/methodology/approach

The paper is a non‐meta‐analytic literature review of several literatures in entrepreneurship.

Findings

The entrepreneurship literature is vast and can be found in every discipline where humans and their behaviour are the object of analysis.

Research limitations/implications

Because the entrepreneurship literature is so large and widespread, the paper reviews only a small, deliberately chosen sample of the literature.

Originality/value

To the authors’ knowledge, no one has previously written a unified review of the market entrepreneurship, political entrepreneurship, and public choice.
