# Unleashing the Value of a Scientific Approach in Entrepreneurship How entrepreneurs can learn and create value through scientific methods - **Source:** [Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal](https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/1932443x) - **Published:** 2026-07-24 - **Topic:** [Entrepreneurship](https://brifing.si/c/entrepreneurship) - **Original article:** - **On Brifing:** https://brifing.si/s/ab71d216-05a3-4994-832c-4ab62e8c5409 ## Scientific Approach in Entrepreneurship This approach encourages entrepreneurs to think and act like scientists by clarifying assumptions, testing them through experiments, and refining strategies. It aims to improve learning processes and enable more effective decision-making. ## Risks of Conceptual Development Current research predominantly focuses on conceptual development, which risks overlooking complementary elements, optimal conditions for the method, and overgeneralization without sufficient validation. ## Need for Empirical Research An empirical research agenda is proposed to ground the scientific approach in systematic evidence. This will allow for more flexible and context-specific applications of the method. ## Flexible Application Recommendation The approach is not a fixed formula. Entrepreneurs are advised to use it flexibly, adapting it to their specific contexts for better results. ## Effectiveness in Strategic Decisions The scientific approach can help entrepreneurs make more informed, disciplined, and effective strategic decisions, providing a critical advantage in the uncertain world of entrepreneurship. ## Future Research Directions Ongoing research will clarify how this approach can be applied across different contexts, contributing to the development of more effective learning and value creation methods in entrepreneurship. ## Sources covering this story - https://sms.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/sej.70038?af=R — --- _Summary written by Brifing from the original reporting.
