ABSTRACT
It is our experience—and one that has been shared with us by a number of other entrepreneurship researchers—that once you engage in attempting to contextualize your work, it becomes hard to see entrepreneurship research through any other lens. Looking back at our own earlier work, many of us are filled with the recognition that our urge to quickly create widely generalizable findings caused us to miss too many opportunities to pay attention to context and thereby perhaps build more profound generalizations over time. In this final chapter, we briefly recap our lessons learned while working on this book and offer some new opportunities for contextualizing entrepreneurship in a manner that can lead to more theoretically robust and practically useful theory.
