Reflections and Extensions on Key Papers of the First Twenty-Five Years of Advances

Advances in Entrepreneurship, Firm
Emergence and Growth provides an annual examination of the major current
research, theoretical and methodological efforts in the field of
entrepreneurship and its related disciplines, including firm emergence and
growth research. The Advances series also publishes papers from other fields,
such as strategy, organizational behavior or sociology, that use
entrepreneurial samples or make a contribution to entrepreneurial theory or
research. It is a key source of articles-of-record for major concepts in the
discipline of entrepreneurship.


Volume 20, Reflections and
Extensions on Key Papers of the First Twenty-Five Years of Advances, is the
first in a two volume collection that celebrates
the series' anniversary and embodies the idea of "past as prologue." This first volume showcases some of the most
important and well-cited papers from the series including works by Dean
Shepherd, Zach Zacharakis, and Connie Marie Gaglio. Reflections on their original works by each
author as well as commentary by rising scholars of today are also included. The volume demonstrates the timelessness of
the original classic works and demonstrates how they connect and energize
leading-edge contemporary research in entrepreneurship today.
