Special section editorial: Looking back to look forward: the entrepreneurship research in Latin America. Management Research, 20(1), 1-5. 10.1108/MRJIAM-10-2021-1243https://repositorio.udd.cl/handle/11447/7345There is a general assumption that high levels of entrepreneurship have characterized the Latin American region but with relatively modest rates of economic growth explained by the poor institutional quality and lowered productive entrepreneurship rates. Although the uniqueness of entrepreneurship in the region, entrepreneurship research conducted in Latin America is still concentrated by a small group of researchers from Argentina, Chile, and Mexico. Inspired by this gap, in November 2020, the Business School at the Universidad del Desarrollo organized the First LATAM Symposium in Business Economics and Management. As a result of the doctoral consortium contest, the three winner students were supported in their ideas’ paper development process for six months. This special section contributes to the debate about three crucial types of entrepreneurship (social entrepreneurship, technological entrepreneurship, and high-growth entrepreneurship) and evidence of unique gaps in entrepreneurship research in the Latin American region.11 p.enEntrepreneurship; Social Entrepreneurship; Technological Entrepreneurship; High-Growth Entrepreneurship; State of the Art; Latin AmericaSocial entrepreneurshipTechnological entrepreneurshipHigh-growth entrepreneurshipState of the artLatin AmericaArticlehttp://doi.org/10.1108/MRJIAM-10-2021-1243
