Although entrepreneurial failure (EF) is a fairly recent topic in entrepreneurship literature, the number of publications has been growing dynamically and particularly rapidly. Our systematic review maps and integrates the research on EF based on a multi-method approach to give structure and consistency to this fragmented field of research. The results reveal that the field revolves around six thematic clusters of EF: 1) Soft underpinnings of EF, 2) Contextuality of EF, 3) Perception of EF, 4) Two-sided effects of EF, 5) Multi-stage EF effects, and 6) Institutional drivers of EF. An integrative framework of the positive and negative effects of entrepreneurial failure is proposed, and a research agenda is suggested.

创业失败：构建一个被广泛忽视的研究领域

尽管创业失败 (EF) 在创业文献中是一个相当新的话题，但出版物的数量一直在动态增长，而且特别迅速。我们的系统评价基于多方法方法绘制并整合了对 EF 的研究，为这个分散的研究领域提供结构和一致性。结果表明，该领域围绕 EF 的六个主题集群：1) EF 的软基础，2) EF 的上下文性，3) EF 的感知，4) EF 的双边效应，5) 多阶段 EF 效应， 6) EF 的制度驱动因素。提出了创业失败正面和负面影响的综合框架，并提出了研究议程。
