Abstract

This paper discusses the scholarly work of Arnold C. Cooper. He was an influential pioneer in the study of entrepreneurship, strategic management, and technology management, and his work provided an important foundation for subsequent development in those fields. Many of his contributions are a result of methodological approaches to gathering data, enabling him to draw insights from systematic empiricism of phenomena. Many of his most influential works are discussed and linked to subsequent work, including work emanating from this journal. Future research opportunities tied to his work are also elaborated.
