Abstract

This chapter examines the current trends and future research agendas for entrepreneurship in Iran. Using the systematic literature review method, the papers published in the field were organized and the chronological evolution of the papers was examined. Some 208 articles published in between 2000 and 2012 were identified in 38 academic journals. The findings revealed that entrepreneurship paper publication has witnessed several variations where the number and quality of published articles constantly increased from 2000 to 2007, critically improved from 2008 to 2011 and then declined in 2012. Furthermore, the majority of these papers focus on fragmented topics, are mostly at the exploratory stage and descriptive and have little contribution to theory building.
