Resumen de Finding practical knowledge in entrepreneurship.
Thomas Kenworthy, W. Edward McMullan
Research in the pre-paradigmatic, applied scientific field of entrepreneurship is characterized mainly as exploratory. This article advocates for a considerable shift toward a more effective applied research agenda. An applied research program is proposed based on modifications to a Lakatosian research program. The agenda extends beyond typical calls for more replication work to include a focus on practical outcomes, practical significance, and surprising findings among other things. The intent is to produce substantially more practical knowledge-knowledge that is useful to entrepreneurs, policy makers, educators, and scholars. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
