    Overview:
    These are exciting times for the study of how people think & act entrepreneurially. Recent research has opened new theoretical directions involving identity and learning, among other topics. At the same time, scholars are exploring a widening array of entrepreneurial contexts that include organizational variations, such as accelerators and makerspaces, as well as macro-level variations, such as those that exist across countries and cultures. In light of these developments, we will consider whether research on entrepreneurial behavior is destined to become more fragmented, and we will search for elements of theory and method that facilitate integration and coherence in the study of entrepreneurial behavior.
