Abstract

Small business management and entrepreneurship are clearly related but certainly not synonymous phenomena. We seek to disentangle the close relationship between both fields by relying on a large-scale survey of small business and entrepreneurship scholars and a content analysis of published research from both areas, from which we derive an implicit consensual definition of each field and their shared interface. Our findings suggest the presence of a relatively strong common bond within the fields that enables researchers to reflect multiple perspectives, while still maintaining each field’s coherent distinctiveness.
