摘要
Idiosyncratic milieus refer to research situations extremely difficult to study because of their obscurity. In entrepreneurship, many of the most interesting topics of today are idiosyncratic milieus. By understanding what makes events obscure, researchers can develop better methods for studying hard-to-find events. A model of obscurity is presented and applied in order to show how research on idiosyncratic milieus might proceed. Useful links between entrepreneurship research and other social and natural sciences are identified, and theoretical underpinnings for studying idiosyncratic milieus are identified.
