SUMMARY:Dan Forbes\, Associate Professor of Strategic Management and Entrep
 reneurship at the University of Minnesota
DESCRIPTION: \n\nPsychological Implications of Research on the Biological B
 asis of\nBusiness Behavior\n\nAbstract\n\nResearchers are increasingly ask
 ing how and to what extent people’s\nbusiness-related behaviors are shap
 ed by biological factors\, such as\ngenes. As research of this kind accumu
 lates\, it will become\nincreasingly important for scholars to also unders
 tand how people\nthink about biology and how their thinking impacts their 
 behavior. In\nthis paper I illustrate these points with an example intende
 d to\nstimulate further attention to these issues. I begin by reviewing\nr
 ecent work within one stream of biology-based management research\,\nwhich
  has found evidence of a link between genetics and\nentrepreneurial entry.
  Then\, drawing on recent work in social\npsychology on lay theories of so
 cial categorization\, I explain why the\nfindings of work in this stream a
 re likely to unintendedly strengthen\npopular belief in the idea that “e
 ntrepreneurs” as a group possess\nan underlying “essence” that is fi
 xed and inborn. I go on to argue\nthat that belief is likely to have signi
 ficant and dysfunctional\nimplications for how people make sense of their 
 own business behavior\nand that of others. I conclude by proposing that bi
 ology and social\npsychology have complementary roles to play in the devel
 opment of\nknowledge at the intersection of biology and business.\n
