Entrepreneurship research in and on the Ruhr area. Taking stock
Pages 192 - 205

The paper takes stock of structures, actors, themes and results of entrepreneurship research in the Ruhr region. Our analysis demonstrates a broad variety of actors, but little contact amongst them. Selected research results indicate low venture creation rates and more necessity-based enterprises compared to Germany. In general, entrepreneurship research in the Ruhr area needs to pay more attention to analysing the sustainability and growth potential of new ventures.
