| Tiivistelmä: | There have recently been several debates around the development of paradigms and research methodologies in the field of small business and entrepreneurship research. This paper focuses on paradigm commensurability by demonstrating how an interpretative framework can be used that eliminates walls between paradigms and enables paradigms to interpret other paradigms. Capra's (1997) conceptual triad is drawn upon to illustrate how a framework based on wisdom rather than knowledge alone provides strategic options for paradigm development on the field. |
