Older theoretical frameworks that once dominated venture capital research are being phased out in favor of contemporary approaches that better reflect the current entrepreneurial ecosystem and its dynamics. - Regional Studies with Limited Scope:
Research focusing solely on specific regions without comparative analysis is declining, as scholars increasingly recognize the value of cross-border insights and global perspectives in venture capital. - Corporate Governance in Startups:
