Communication between different fields in universities is often hindered by the “multi-tower” problem: each focuses on its own questions and issues and tends to ignore work in other, even closely related ones. This occurs in part, because each field has its own terminology theories, journals, and conferences and because university policies claiming ownership of researchers’ findings restrict them from sharing this knowledge with others. Entrepreneurship, by welcoming input from many different sources—economics, sociology, strategic management, and psychology—avoids the “multi-tower” problem; this is one of its important strengths. In his own work, the author has sought to broaden the range of entrepreneurship research by “importing” findings and theory from psychology that are relevant to understanding entrepreneurs, the personal factors that affect their success, and important aspects of the entrepreneurial process overall.

大学中不同领域之间的交流常常受到“多塔”问题的阻碍：每个领域都专注于自己的问题和问题，而往往忽视其他领域的工作，甚至是密切相关的领域的工作。出现这种情况的部分原因是每个领域都有自己的术语理论、期刊和会议，而且大学声称对研究人员的发现拥有所有权的政策限制他们与他人分享这些知识。创业精神通过欢迎来自许多不同来源（经济学、社会学、战略管理和心理学）的输入，避免了“多塔”问题；这是其重要优势之一。在他自己的著作中，作者试图通过“导入”与理解企业家、影响其成功的个人因素以及整个创业过程的重要方面相关的心理学发现和理论来扩大创业研究的范围。
