Research exploring the emotional and psychological factors influencing entrepreneurial performance, such as passion, anxiety, and well-being, is gaining prominence, reflecting a holistic view of the entrepreneurial experience.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Entrepreneurship Models:
Research focusing solely on traditional entrepreneurship models, such as classic small business management, seems to be declining as the field increasingly emphasizes innovation and social impact. - Gender and Entrepreneurship Studies:
Although still relevant, the specific focus on gender issues within entrepreneurship appears less frequent, possibly overshadowed by broader social and community impact themes. - Economic Inequality as a Barrier to Entrepreneurship:
There is a noticeable decrease in studies specifically addressing economic inequality as a primary barrier to entrepreneurship, as newer research tends to focus more on resilience and resourcefulness. - Static Market Analysis:
Research that relies solely on static market analysis without considering dynamic changes and the entrepreneurial response is becoming less common, as scholars favor more adaptive and longitudinal approaches. - Purely Theoretical Constructs without Empirical Testing:
The journal is increasingly favoring empirical studies that test theoretical constructs, leading to a decline in purely theoretical papers that do not engage with practical implications.
