Data sets Some primary data sets such as the GEM household survey (adult population survey), and GEM key informant interviews, and the PSED are extensive and good but nonetheless have flaws. Too many primary data sets are compiled from subjective replies to multiple-choice questions administered to anonymous respondents via phone, postal mail or email. Chandler and Lyon (2001), for example, found that 195 entrepreneurship articles in their survey used only primary data sets, of which a whopping 142 used paper or phone questionnaires with multiple-item scales.
Comparison of two paradigms History Physics can be traced back to the fifth century BC to Democritus, Plato, and Aristotle. Although their theories in general lacked predictive power, there were some spectacular exceptions, notably Archimedes’ principle. By the Middle Ages, physics was a central part of the curriculum of the ancient universities. 7 When ‘modern’ physics was born with Newton’s mechanics around the middle of the seventeenth century, Newton used concepts from those four fields to explain planetary motion.
It seems to me that more often than not theory developed from sociology, psychology and economics tends to develop esoteric or mundane hypotheses that are of little or no value to the practice of entrepreneurship. Chandler and Lyon (2001) found that 30 percent of all the entrepreneurship articles published in ‘A’ journals had no empirical data. Hence plenty of theory-only papers are being published, so why are editors and reviewers insisting that empirical papers have conceptual front ends? Reflecting on the first few years of the Journal of Business Venturing, it appears that, in general, authors and reviewers back then had a better sense of what was important to the practice of entrepreneurship.
