The article responds to authors commentaries on the paper about Ludwig Lachmann's contributions to entrepreneurship which was published in the Volume 28 of the journal "Organization Studies." It emphasizes that the purpose of the article was to bring together a wide range of disparate entrepreneurship concepts under a single new conceptual framework and to provide greater coherence and theoretical underpinnings to entrepreneurship research. The connections between a Lachmannian approach to entrepreneurship and numerous extant approaches are described. It encourages the authors who commented on the paper to articulate the ontological and epistemological roots of effectuation theory.

The concept of time is introduced as a major topic for organizational and management research. Including a discussion of differing times and temporalities, macro level research and theory are described that relate time to such substantive areas as organizational culture, strategic planning, and organizational contingency theory. At the micro level, theory and research on time and individual differences, decision making, motivation, and group behavior are reviewed critically. Organizational and management topics of particular salience for future temporal research and management practice are identified. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article introduces two essays about management education. The essay by George Dreher and Katherine Ryan examines one of management education's basic underlying assumptions. The authors support their inquiry with references to recent empirical research. Likewise, the essay by Arthur Bedeian takes management education to task for what amounts to a too present-oriented value structure. Bedeian, a noted management historian, brings his expertise to bear in this critique and argues for the value of expeditions into management history.
