- Abstract
-
Agent-based modeling (ABM) has wide applications in natural and social sciences yet it has not been widely applied in entrepreneurship research. We discuss the nature of ABM, its position among conventional methodologies and then offer a roadmap for developing, testing and extending theories of entrepreneurship using ABM approach. A potential ABM project is discussed for illustrative purposes and focuses on the clash between effectual and causal logics. We conclude with implications for future research in entrepreneurship.
