    Small Tales of a Relatively Young Practitioner-Scholar  

     by John Mueller

     

    My story exemplifies a practitioner-scholar (a non-traditional academic). After working as an employee and executive in privately-owned and publicly-traded companies, and starting several businesses, I am currently an assistant professor at Western Michigan University (WMU) teaching entrepreneurship-related courses, researching entrepreneurship-related topics, and providing service to the institution, the academy, and the entrepreneurial community.

     

    From my perspective, the path I have taken to get to my current position has been filled with multiple decisions that follow one mantra: have fun and learn.

    As the field of entrepreneurship has matured, research in entrepreneurship has evolved from studying the phenomena of entrepreneurship, to adopting theory from other fields, to developing new theories of entrepreneurial behavior. Along with the increase in the scholarly study of entrepreneurship has come a broader interest in entrepreneurship by scholars in other disciplines such as strategic management, economics, social-psychology, organizational theory, and so forth.

Yet, entrepreneurship is also a multidisciplinary field having attracted researchers in, for example, economics, sociology, psychology, history, philosophy and management. In line with these multidisciplinary academic interests, entrepreneurship has...
