Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice, 2023, vol. 47, issue 2, 211-231

Abstract: Conceptual articles are important for theory building but the special challenges of developing conceptual articles on entrepreneurship has not been fully considered. We begin to fill this gap by discussing the nature of conceptual articles on entrepreneurship, particularly those geared for publication in Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice. We introduce three dimensions of the entrepreneurship discipline—uniqueness, relevance, and multiplicity—and discuss how they can affect the positioning of conceptual articles and the articulation of their contribution. We also enumerate some basic principles for crafting good conceptual articles and present guidelines based on our discussion.
