This paper presents a suggested framework for future research designs to examine the benefits of entrepreneurship, both non-financial and financial. Based on a review of the literature and using contextual exemplars throughout the paper with an Australia and New Zealand focus, we identify a range of benefits from entrepreneurship at the various levels of analysis (e.g. individual, organizational, national). The suggested framework represents both an initial step towards the measurement of entrepreneurship’s financial benefits and a valuable starting point for the development of a theory of the non-financial and financial benefits of entrepreneurship.
