Abstract :

[en] Reflecting on 'what entrepreneurship is and how entrepreneurship might be studied', Gartner, (2004, p.199) used the notion of 'critical mess' to invoke an image of a 'pile of scholarship' and mass of non-scholarly material on entrepreneurship that has been generated as 'data' for developing stories, theories, concepts, policies and insights for understanding the phenomena of entrepreneurship. In this chapter, we evaluate the collection of studies using the terms 'critical' and 'entrepreneurship' to make transparent the kinds of questions, issues and concerns being addressed through critical inquiry.
