Extending earlier critiques, I suggest that continued use of Shanian discovery and Alvarez-Barnean creation views and their respective standpoints on “opportunities” would constrain future entrepreneurship research. Instead, I suggest venture creation be recognized as the field’s true core, with or without the opportunity concept. Within a big tent of venture creation research, researchers with different knowledge interests and varying convictions regarding the roles of agency and structure in venture creation can partake in our most valuable contribution to the broader domain of economic and organizational studies: insights into the journey from non-existence to existence of new ventures.

扩展早期的批评，我建议继续使用 Shanian 发现和 Alvarez-Barnean 创造观点及其各自对“机会”的立场将限制未来的创业研究。相反，我建议将风险创造视为该领域的真正核心，无论是否有机会概念。在风险创造研究的大帐篷中，对风险创造中代理和结构的作用具有不同知识兴趣和不同信念的研究人员可以参与我们对更广泛的经济和组织研究领域最有价值的贡献：洞察非- 新企业的存在。
