Abstract: Abstract Over the past five decades, the academic field of entrepreneurship research has grown from scattered groups of isolated scholars doing primitive unsophisticated research to an international community supporting high-quality scholarship that is seen as key to economic growth and societal development. Several factors have contributed to the flourishing of entrepreneurship research, including the publication of impactful, high-quality, influential articles that help move the field forward and advance knowledge. The focus of the present research is on the path-breaking work of (Chiles et al., Organization Studies 28:467–493, 2007), who advanced a novel unifying paradigm—based on the work on radical subjectivistradical subjectivist Austrian scholar Ludwig Lachmann—for scholars interested in a wide variety of entrepreneurial phenomena. We reflect on the global and sustained impact of this modern classic by reconsidering its main claims and systematically mapping its influence over time, employing a mixed-method design to investigate its legacy. We probe the contributions of (Chiles et al., Organization Studies 28:467–493, 2007), centering our discussion around future opportunities for advancing the radical subjectivistradical subjectivist approach toward entrepreneurship research.
