Commentary: On the Integration of Strategic Management and Entrepreneurship: Views of a Contrarian

A new generation now leads. President Barack Hussein Obama straddles what Tom Brokaw called the greatest generation and the Baby Boomers (b. 1946-1964). Academia is now populated by Millenials (b. 1980-2000) and increasingly led by Generation X (b. 1960-1980). This Commentary purposively intends to create deeper conversation about the origins and tendencies in the small but interesting academic discipline of entrepreneurship. I accept my role as an aging curmudgeon and hope that you will also. My intent is to surface several operative ideologies, reveal a few egoistic tendencies, and perfectly (quack, quack) predict the future of academic entrepreneurship. Please place this Commentary in your 2039 tickler file titled foolhardy predictions from 2009.
