Abstract
- David Storey was a pioneer in the field of entrepreneurship, known for his contributions to the study of small businesses and entrepreneurship. His work focused on policies to stimulate entrepreneurship, emphasizing rigorous research and experimental methods. Storey highlighted the role of small businesses in job creation and the importance of regional factors in policy development. He advocated for better data and analytical methods to improve research quality. Storey's research challenged conventional wisdom, questioning assumptions about new firm start-ups and the role of skill in entrepreneurial success. He also explored the randomness and unpredictability of entrepreneurial outcomes. Storey's work made significant contributions to understanding firm growth, regional entrepreneurship, and the effects of entrepreneurship on regional development. He approached entrepreneurship research with skepticism, modesty, and a contrarian perspective. [Extracted from the article]
