The remarkable ascent of entrepreneurship witnessed as a scientific field over the last 4 decades has been made possible by entrepreneurship’s ability to absorb theories, paradigms, and methods from other fields such as economics, psychology, sociology, geography, and even biology. The respectability of entrepreneurship as an academic discipline is now evidenced by many other fields starting to borrow from the entrepreneurship view. In the present paper, seven examples are given from this “pay back” development. These examples were first presented during a seminar at the Erasmus Entrepreneurship Event called what has the entrepreneurship view to offer to other academic fields? This article elaborates on the core ideas of these presentations and focuses on the overarching question of how entrepreneurship research impacts the development of other academic fields. We found that entrepreneurship research questions the core assumptions of other academic fields and provides new insights into the antecedents, mechanisms, and consequences of their respective core phenomena. Moreover, entrepreneurship research helps to legitimize other academic fields both practically and academically.

企业家精神在过去 4 年中作为一个科学领域取得了显着的进步，这得益于企业家精神吸收其他领域（如经济学、心理学、社会学、地理学甚至生物学）的理论、范式和方法的能力。创业作为一门学科的受人尊敬现在已经被许多其他领域开始借鉴创业观点所证明。在本文中，给出了这种“回报”发展的七个例子。这些例子最初是在伊拉斯谟创业活动的研讨会上提出的，该活动名为“企业家精神对其他学术领域有何影响？”本文详细阐述了这些演讲的核心思想，并着重探讨了创业研究如何影响其他学术领域发展这一首要问题。我们发现，创业研究质疑其他学术领域的核心假设，并提供了对各自核心现象的前因、机制和后果的新见解。此外，创业研究有助于在实践和学术上使其他学术领域合法化。
