An Overview of Rural Entrepreneurship and Future Directions

Dennis Barber, Michael L. Harris, J. Tanner Jones · 2021 · Journal of Small Business Strategy

Summary. Rural entrepreneurship operates differently from high-growth and technology-focused entrepreneurship, yet researchers often apply the same frameworks to study it. This limits understanding of entrepreneurship's actual impact on rural communities. The authors argue rural entrepreneurship deserves recognition as a distinct field of study with its own characteristics, and they identify future research directions to advance knowledge specific to rural contexts.
