创业已成为经济发展的基石。公众对这一现象的认识激发了学术界和决策者的极大兴趣，同时还制定了一系列支持创业的举措。我们对1985年至2015年30年间发表的122篇学术文章进行了系统回顾，这些文章有助于确定一系列理论，经验和实践差距，这些差距构成了研究议程的基础。例如，有一个概念性的文章和几个实证研究产生的理论贡献的短缺;样本小，特质;上下文很少考虑;和ES的机制在很大程度上是未知的。我们建议，ES应发展沿着四个主题，改善这些暴露的差距：承认和理解的异质性的企业家和新企业;现有的理论ES;改进方法和研究设计;和ES集成到生态系统的支持。
Entrepreneurship has become a cornerstone of economic development. The public awareness of this phenomenon spurred great interest from the academic community and policy makers alongside the creation of a vast range of entrepreneurship support initiatives. We conduct a systematic review of 122 academic articles published during a thirty year period between 1985–2015 that help to identify a series of theoretical, empirical, and practical gaps that form the basis of a research agenda. For instance, there is a shortage of conceptual articles and few empirical studies generating theoretical contributions; samples are small and idiosyncratic; context is rarely considered; and that mechanisms of ES are largely unknown. We propose that ES should develop along four main themes that ameliorate these exposed gaps: acknowledge and understand the heterogeneity of entrepreneurs and new ventures; apply existing theories to ES; improve methods and research design; and integrate ES into the ecosystem of support.
