Impact of ER on Other Academic Fields (Thurik et al. 2024) | VSSER25

#VSSER25 #Session1Welcome to Revise and Resubmit, the podcast where we take deep dives into the latest research from the world’s most prestigious academic journals. If you love ideas that challenge assumptions, theories that reshape disciplines, and research that bridges gaps between fields—then you’re in the right place.Today, we’re exploring a fascinating study published in Small Business Economics, an esteemed ABDC A-listed journal. The article, “The Impact of Entrepreneurship Research on Other Academic Fields”, is authored by an incredible team of scholars—A. Roy Thurik, David B. Audretsch, Jörn H. Block, Andrew Burke, Martin A. Carree, Marcus Dejardin, Cornelius A. Rietveld, Mark Sanders, Ute Stephan, and Johan Wiklund—and published by Springer International Publishing.For decades, entrepreneurship was an outsider in academia, overlooked, underestimated, rarely mentioned in the corridors of elite business schools. But times have changed. Entrepreneurship has not only claimed its place as a serious academic discipline, but it is now reshaping other fields—economics, psychology, sociology, even biology. What started as a borrower of theories and methods has now become a lender, challenging core assumptions in other disciplines and legitimizing new areas of research.This paper reveals seven key ways in which entrepreneurship is paying it forward, influencing how we understand business, human behavior, and societal change. It raises a powerful question: What happens when a once-marginalized field becomes a thought leader, shifting paradigms and rewriting the rules of knowledge?A big thank you to the authors and to Springer International Publishing for this insightful contribution.If you enjoyed this discussion, make sure to subscribe to Revise and Resubmit on Spotify and check out our YouTube channel, Weekend Researcher.
