Part of the International Studies in Entrepreneurship book series (ISEN, volume 35)

Abstract

Entrepreneurs’ behavior remains a black box in entrepreneurship research. This is despite its importance in new venture creation. This chapter extends the review of the literature on entrepreneurs’ behavior provided by Bird and Schjoedt (2009). Despite calls for more research on entrepreneurs’ behavior, the present review reveals a reduction while an emergence of four themes is becoming apparent in research on entrepreneurs’ behavior. Making another call for more research on entrepreneurs’ behavior to better understand entrepreneurs’ behavior, this chapter concludes with suggestions for future research to enhance our understanding of entrepreneurs’ behavior.
