Introduction

From the past to today, it has been discussed by scholars of various study of fields (for example in strategic management (Barney, 2002; Booth, 1998; Eryılmaz, 2016), in organization theory (Davis & Marquis, 2005) and in business history (Kurt, 2016)) that whether the field is transformed into an academic discipline or not. In a similar vein, some early (e.g. Vesper, 1988) and recent (e.g. George & Wadhwani, 2006; Urban, 2010) studies in the field asserted that entrepreneurship gained status of an academic discipline.¹ During this study, historical background of entrepreneurship discipline will be examined. Then, some discussions and empirical studies on antecedents and consequences of entrepreneurship will be shared with readers. The study will continue with a section that focuses on the link between entrepreneurship and information and communication technologies. Then, the study will give some information on recent developments and possible future trends in the field. Finally, the study will be ended with a conclusion part.
