Abstract: The area of entrepreneurship during the last fifteen years, has gained a reasonable acceptance as a discipline of its own and become a major component of the broader field of business management. However, to stand up as a distinct field of study and research by itself, it has yet to develop a consolidated framework and an articulated agenda of research. The paper suggests that to achieve such ends, students and researchers of entrepreneurship should launch a unified effort to make solid inroads into mainstream social sciences and to establish cross-fertilization of entrepreneurship research phenomena with major concepts, constructs, models and theories of other disciplines. Such a consolidated approach will be useful for overcoming the existing deficiencies of entrepreneurship research, enabling the development of convergent theories and broader frameworks to strengthen the base of entrepreneurship study and research.
