Exploration of the intersectional factors affecting women and minority entrepreneurs, including studies on gender norms, the impact of social capital, and the role of institutional frameworks in shaping entrepreneurial opportunities. - Impact of Technology on Entrepreneurship:
Analysis of how digital transformation, artificial intelligence, and other emerging technologies influence entrepreneurial practices, strategies, and outcomes in various sectors. - Sustainability and Social Entrepreneurship:

Research on the role of external environments, including governmental policies and institutional support, in fostering or hindering entrepreneurial activities and innovation.
Trending and Emerging
- Intersectionality in Entrepreneurship:
A growing focus on how intersecting identities, such as gender, ethnicity, and socio-economic status, shape entrepreneurial experiences and opportunities, reflecting a broader societal recognition of diversity in entrepreneurship. - Digital and Remote Entrepreneurship:
Increased research on digital entrepreneurship, particularly in the context of remote work and the impact of digital platforms on entrepreneurial activities, has emerged as a significant trend, especially in response to global shifts caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. - Mental Health and Entrepreneurial Well-Being:
There is a rising interest in the psychological aspects of entrepreneurship, including studies on mental health challenges faced by entrepreneurs and the impact of stress and resilience on entrepreneurial success. - Sustainability and Impact-Driven Entrepreneurship:
Research is increasingly focused on how entrepreneurs can create social and environmental impact, with a strong emphasis on sustainable business practices and social entrepreneurship. - Adaptive Strategies in Crisis Situations:
Emerging themes around how entrepreneurs adapt their strategies in response to crises, such as economic downturns or pandemics, highlight the resilience and innovative capacities of entrepreneurial ventures.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Business Models:
There is a noticeable decline in research focused solely on traditional business models without considering digital or innovative transformations, as the emphasis shifts towards more dynamic and adaptive strategies. - Generalized Entrepreneurship Education:
Research that broadly addresses entrepreneurship education without specific contextual or demographic considerations appears to be decreasing, as more nuanced studies focusing on targeted populations and practical applications gain traction. - Entrepreneurial Challenges in Established Markets:
Papers discussing challenges faced by entrepreneurs in established markets have become less frequent, suggesting a potential shift towards exploring opportunities in emerging markets or innovative sectors. - Single-Dimensional Performance Metrics:
There is a waning focus on simplistic performance metrics of entrepreneurial ventures; scholars are increasingly interested in multidimensional assessments that incorporate social, environmental, and financial outcomes. - Homogeneous Entrepreneurial Narratives:
Research that presents a one-size-fits-all narrative of entrepreneurship, particularly that which doesn't account for diversity in experiences, backgrounds, or contexts, is becoming less relevant in light of a growing emphasis on intersectionality and varied entrepreneurial journeys.
