ANTHROPOLOGICAL AND ETHNOGRAPHIC WRITINGS ON ENTREPRENEURSHIP, BROADLY CONSTRUED
This list does not include doctoral dissertations, of which there are many with entrepreneurial topics, as a search
in ProQuest (which covers UMI) reveals. If you are seeking ethnographic studies of startup activities you will find
more fertile ground there, with the obvious disadvantages that dissertations tend to be lengthy, overly concerned
with justification, mixed in quality, and disjointed (especially between the literature and theory parts compared with
the actual observations). This list does include a small number of ethnographic or anthropological writings that are
about work or business, but not necessarily entrepreneurship, by participants in the conference.
