Developing And Validating A Construct Of Entrepreneurial Intensity., J. Liao, Patrick Murphy, H. Welsch
Patrick J. Murphy
I n this article we define, validate, and propose a construct of entrepreneurial intensity, or the degree of entrepreneurship in firms. First, in defining the construct, we explore theoretical differences between entrepreneurial intensity and orientation in order to distinguish it. Second, we empirically validate a measure of entrepreneurial intensity using data based on a sample of 563 entrepreneurs. Third, we propose avenues for research on how entrepreneurial intensity distinguishes entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial action. Finally, we detail theoretical implications of using entrepreneurial intensity as an antecedent and outcome.

Patrick J. Murphy
We introduce a conceptual history of knowledge expansion in the entrepreneurship field based on a logical mechanism of conjecture and refutation. Our undertaking interprets and explains the emergence, rise, re-emergence, and decline of key problem situations and theories through prehistoric, economic, and multidisciplinary movements in entrepreneurial thought.
