Abstract

This dissertation provides two major contributions to the entrepreneurship literature. First, it provides the first comprehensive survey of the papers published on black entrepreneurship that are contained in the literature. Second, it provides rankings of the most prolific researchers and affiliations publishing in two areas: on black entrepreneurship; and by Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Additional contributions are the dissertation's supplementary findings that rank researchers and institutions by their quantitative publication on entrepreneurship in general, and on opportunity recognition: an important research component of the entrepreneurship process.
