Entrepreneurship Research in Asia: What We Know and Where We Move in the Future

Abstract

Examining 139 articles since 2000 published in leading management journals, we highlight that to date the field of entrepreneurship remains critically underrepresented among leading journals. The articles that have been published tend to take concepts from the West, replicate them in a single nation in Asia, and then discuss why the results were different from the West. There remains a rich range of topics that need to be examined in Asia. The development of this future research should focus not only on boundary conditions to the research from the West but scholars should also seek to begin to develop unique streams of insight that begin to utilize existing theory to develop unique Asian insights to entrepreneurship.
