Entrepreneurship: Konturen einer jungen Disziplin

SummaryThe topic of this paper is the German academic discussion of entrepreneurship. Several basic problems, which are crucial for the appreciation of entrepreneurship as a distinctive scientific discipline are identified. On this basis the paper develops how the field of entrepreneurship should be outlined and which questions are worth a scientific investigation. An integrative framework for research and teaching of entrepreneurship is the result of this discussion and should help to create legitimation for entrepreneurship in the German scientific community.
