Broadening the entrepreneurship lens: beyond gazelles and unicorns

This paper aims to broaden the understanding of entrepreneurship beyond the conventional focus on high-growth firms like gazelles and unicorns. Much entrepreneurship research recognizes the significant contributions of a diverse range of entrepreneurial firms to economies and societies, emphasizing the need for a more inclusive approach in entrepreneurship research. As a guide for scholars in the field of entrepreneurship and prospective authors of the New England Journal of Entrepreneurship, this paper offers an overview and discussion on the evolving landscape of entrepreneurship research and its future directions.
