Abstract

The role of entrepreneurship in society has changed dynamically. Immediately following World War II, entrepreneurship seemingly lost importance fading nearly completely away. In 1968, when J.J. Servan-Schreiber warned Europeans of the American Challenge, it was not from small entrepreneurial firms, but the polar opposite—from the “dynamism, organizational, innovation, and boldness that characterized the giant American corporations.” By then a generation of scholars had systematically documented and supported the conclusion of Joseph A. Schumpeter (1942, 106): “What we have got to accept is that the large-scale establishment or unit of control has come to be the most powerful engine of progress and in particular of the long-run expansion of output ….”

Most of the early literature appeared in two places. First, the Frontiers of Entrepreneurship Research collected the papers from the Babson Conferences starting in 1980. Second, for 20 years Donald Sexton has been a keen observer and expert synthesizer of the latest scholarship and emerging trends. Sexton’s determination to periodically bring together influential scholars in the field to take stock of the “state-of-art” of entrepreneurship and package the outcome of those meetings has done much for advancing the distinctiveness and legitimacy of the entrepreneurship domain (Powers et al. 2000).
