最近的理论进展强调将企业家精神定义为一个选择和适应的进化过程。通过分析近五年来发表在顶级创业期刊上的307篇实证文章，本文确定了研究问题框架、数据收集和结构以及时空相关背景测量三个关键领域的进展和挑战。在构建研究问题方面，研究人员倾向于强调转型和绩效结果，特别是在公司层面。然而，正在探索从普通大众到新生企业家的过渡，以及从新生企业家到新公司的过渡。在数据方面，研究人员过于依赖调查方法和横断面数据。最后，研究人员似乎更愿意测量环境力量在空间上的变化，而不是在时间上的变化。由于全球创业监测和创业动态小组研究等主要数据收集工作的开展，遵循创业发展方法的更复杂项目存在潜力。
Recent advances in theory have emphasized a definition of entrepreneurship as an evolutionary process of selection and adaptation. By analyzing 307 empirical articles published in top entrepreneurship journals in the last five years, this paper identifies advances and challenges in three key areas: framing of research questions, data collection and structure, and the measurement of time and space related contexts. In terms of framing research questions, researchers tend to emphasize transitions and performance outcomes, particularly at the firm level. However, transitions from the general population to nascent entrepreneurs, as well as transitions from nascent entrepreneurs to new firms, are under explored. In terms of data, researchers rely too heavily on survey methods and cross-sectional data. Finally, researchers appear to be more comfortable measuring variations in environmental forces across space than across time. Because of major data collection efforts like the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor and the Panel Study of Entrepreneurial Dynamics, a potential exists for more sophisticated projects that follow an evolutionary approach to entrepreneurship.
