Musings Of A Serial Entrepreneur — Reconciling Theory With Practice, Joseph E. Levangie Jan 2003

Musings Of A Serial Entrepreneur — Reconciling Theory With Practice, Joseph E. Levangie

New England Journal of Entrepreneurship

To reminisce about my entrepreneurial career with appropriate self-importance, I might note that I have helped create companies and jobs. This contributes in a small way to economic growth. Economic growth is, however, an often illusive concept to characterize. Job growth is an essential component of a dynamic, innovative process. In the late 1970s jobs growth research suggested that the vast majority of new jobs are created by small business formation. Such empirical research is difficult to support with theoretical constructs. Classic macroeconomics analysis discounts size-offirm as irrelevant. Entrepreneurial contribution is therefore difficult to assess.
