As the entrepreneurship field has matured, scholars have turned to various process theories as a useful means for synthesizing existing knowledge regarding entrepreneurship into a cohesive whole. Process theories present entrepreneurship‐related phenomena as a sequence of events or activities that are directed toward a specific outcome or goal, such as venture creation and/or growth. This article describes several process theories of entrepreneurship, with particular emphasis on the individual/opportunity model, around which scholarly consensus is forming. And, the article highlights aspects of the theories that may provide opportunities for future theoretical development.
