Abstract: Abstract How do we find out what our data really are saying? Once all the evidence is collected, the researcher still has many choices to make in the analysis of the data, and these choices affect conclusions. This short chapter discusses some challenges that are particularly pronounced in entrepreneurship research. These are the process- and multilevel nature of the phenomenon, and the uncertainty and heterogeneity that signifies it. It is also observed that many developments toward increased “sophistication” in the analysis only address the validity of significance tests that are often invalid already for more fundamental reasons.
