Domain Of Entrepreneurship Research Articles

KEWIRAUSAHAAN DALAM PERSPEKTIF ONTOLOGY

This article explores the domain of entrepreneurial research by thematically mapping and assessing the intellectual area of the field. Existing reviews show that the body of knowledge of entrepreneurship is growing, and while important contributions to theoretical and methodological integration are proven, the field is described as phenomenal based, potentially fragmented and suffering from theoretical shortcomings. Based on that entrepreneurship encompasses a variety of entrepreneurial developments throughout the country, we identify 44 relevant journal articles published in the 2009-2018 period. We inventory the development domain of entrepreneurship to provide relevant and comprehensive research organizations. This involves examining the subject of Entrepreneurship research, and inductively synthesizing and categorizing it into the main themes and sub-themes. As such, we offer reliable, ontologically constructed, and practically useful resources. From this basis, we discuss phenomena, problems, inconsistencies, and temporary debates in which new theories of entrepreneurship continue to develop and research can be done. We conclude that Entrepreneurship has several thematic fields that are coherent and rich in potential for future research and theory development.

Business model innovation and entrepreneurial orientation relationships in SMEs: Implications for international performance

Academic research is increasingly emphasizing the critical role of business models (BMs) and business model innovation (BMI) in the international entrepreneurship (IE) domain, yet empirical studies on the topic are quite limited. This study demo0nstrates the role of BMI and entrepreneurial orientation (EO) in the internationalization of small-and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Specifically, we explored the mediating role of BMI in the relationship between EO and international performance among internationalizing SMEs. Drawing on a cross-industrial sample of 95 international Finnish SMEs, we empirically test the hypothesized relationships by developing a confirmatory factor analysis measurement model with subsequent application of ordinary least squares multiple regression. The results suggest that BMI positively and significantly mediates the relationship between EO and international performance. In addition, EO has a positive and significant effect on SMEs’ BMI. Thus, the findings of the study imply that both BMI and EO are important drivers of international performance for internationalizing SMEs. The study contributes to the IE literature by illustrating the dynamics of BMI and providing evidence of the linkages between strategic orientations and BMI in the international performance of SMEs.

Entrepreneurial motivation: A review of the literature and an agenda for future research

SummaryGiven the substantial impact that new ventures have on the global economy, understanding what motivates entrepreneurs is of both practical and theoretical importance. Although research on the nature, causes, and consequences of entrepreneurial motivation has grown rapidly, it has evolved in distinct theoretical silos that tend to isolate motives based on the phase of business development (e.g., initiation, growth, and exit) rather than acknowledge that individuals often traverse all these phases and experience multiple types of motivation throughout their entrepreneurial journey. To advance the study of motivation in the fields of entrepreneurship and organizational behavior and provide a means through which these advancements can contribute to our understanding of how motivation drives the start‐up, growth, and exiting of businesses, we organize and review the extant literature on entrepreneurial motives based on the phases of the new venture process. In doing so, this article develops a roadmap of the current state of entrepreneurial motivation research and its nomological network and provides suggestions to guide future research in extending our understanding of motivation in the entrepreneurship domain as well as in traditional organizational settings.

The future is in the past: A framework for the Marketing-Entrepreneurship Interface (MEI)

In this article, we review milestones in the 30+ year history of conceptualizations of the Marketing-Entrepreneurship Interface (MEI) in order to develop an overdue unified framework. This framework finally achieves the original mission of the “Charleston Summit” - to create a research framework for the MEI. We update the 4-perspectives view proposed by Hansen and Eggers (2010). In particular, we retain the first perspective, which is the commonalities between the domains of marketing and entrepreneurship, as is. In updating the perspectives, we define the fourth perspective as entrepreneurial and SME marketing and we combine the second and third perspectives into a single framework. We review some major concepts within the two domains and provide numerous suggestions for future research that emerge from the framework. Our conceptualization of the MEI creates a vast array of research possibilities for MEI scholars old and new.

The role of the entrepreneurial encounter in the emergence of opportunities: Vallée’s Dallas Buyers Club

ABSTRACT This paper aims to explore the conceptual potential of the Deleuzian notion of the encounter in order to better understand the genealogy of opportunities. We adopt a processual perspective of opportunities. In order to translate this notion to the domain of entrepreneurship, we analysed and interpreted Jean-Marc Vallée’s Dallas Buyers Club. This film follows the creation of the first club in the United States that illegally allowed HIV-positive people to supply themselves with foreign antiretroviral drugs from Mexico or Japan. The article highlights encounters in this process that disturb the entrepreneur’s belief systems and allow him or her to be open to potential opportunity. It finally explores how the encounter may improve our understanding of the political becoming of opportunities within the entrepreneurial process.

Effectual exchange: from entrepreneurship to the disciplines and beyond

Reflecting on the 12 works that compose this special issue, we are struck by the distinctiveness of effectuation as a theory native to the domain of entrepreneurship. While theoretical perspectives from disciplines including economics, psychology, and sociology have been applied to understanding the new venture phenomenon, entrepreneurship scholars have historically had little to offer in return beyond the testing bed. The authors in this special issue begin to make the case for transforming the bed into fertile soil in which the disciplines can grow and bear new fruit. Moreover, uncertainty, co-creation, resources, goals, and control all represent important and current issues in management, marketing, organizations, finance, and operations. Effectuation has something new to offer to each of these. In this article, we summarize what we learn from the works in the special issue in order to construct a research agenda that can move effectuation from entrepreneurship to the disciplines and beyond into new futures.

Early internationalizing firms: 2004–2018

The literature on early internationalization has evolved rapidly in the last few decades. Firms that achieve early and rapid internationalization have emerged as newcomers in the international arena. Disclosed in the late 1980s, international new ventures and born globals today are well known by academics, practitioners, and policymakers. However, the rapid evolution of literature on this topic has produced a considerable corpus of articles in just a few years, discouraging the realization of iterative and thematic analyses. Existing reviews have analyzed the first decade of research or some peculiar aspects of early internationalizing firms or have been focused on the wider international entrepreneurship domain. This article complements previous studies by reviewing the literature on early internationalizing firms over the years 2004–2018. The authors develop a systematic review of 280 studies investigating born globals, international new ventures, and early internationalizing firms that were published in leading journals in the field of international entrepreneurship. The goals of the review are as follows: to describe the state of the art of the literature on early internationalizing firms, to identify the themes that recurred during this period, and to highlight trends and future research perspectives in the field. As one of the implications, this study aims at serving as a summary and starting point for scholars and practitioners interested in early internationalization phenomenon.

Venture legitimacy and storytelling in social enterprises

ABSTRACTGaining venture legitimacy is important for social enterprises to survive; yet, many of them face legitimacy deficit and fail sooner than their commercial counterpart. Entrepreneurship scholars have recently recognized that storytelling is linked to new venture legitimacy which may lead to a reduction in the chances of venture failure. However, existing knowledge regarding the relationship between storytelling and social venture legitimacy is limited. Using case studies from social enterprises in Indonesia and the United Kingdom, this article examines how storytelling can lead to venture legitimacy in a social entrepreneurship context. Utilizing a narrative transportation approach, the research details what actions can be taken to support social enterprises. The article contributes to the literature by providing a conceptual framework that links storytelling and venture legitimacy in the social entrepreneurship domain.

Šta možemo očekivati u budućnosti akademskog istraživanja? Najčešći istraživački problemi analizirani u okviru najistaknutijih časopisa iz oblasti preduzetništva

In the modern era of academic research, it is extremely difficult to define an entirely or largely unexplored research problem. Every researcher is faced with this question in their research. It takes a lot of work and effort to primarily find a topic that is relevant and that will be attractive for study and research. The focus of this paper is research problems related to the field of entrepreneurship. This paper deals with trending research problems over the course of the last five years in the field of entrepreneurship. The survey was conducted with the aim of identifying the least explored areas of entrepreneurship in order to predict future research topics. The methods used to achieve this scientific goal include: description, classification and explanation. By analyzing the sample of 393 papers from the five most cited journals in the field of entrepreneurship, the author came to the conclusion that in the past five years the majority of papers dealt primarily with the topic of innovation and advanced technology, and hardly touched upon the topic of women's entrepreneurship. This paper should help future researchers to select the topics or fields of research in the domain of entrepreneurship.

I’m already thinking of the housekeeping chores - misogyny in small couple and family entrepreneurship

This article treats misogyny as a structural and complex socioeconomic, political and institutional phenomenon. Its operation is explained in the domain of small couple and family entrepreneurship in traditional sectors of production and services in Serbia at a time of the forces financialization of post-socialist Serbia as a peripheral economy. As sources and mechanisms of a misogynistic attitude it recognizes both a patriarchal gender regime, and the global and national financial and political oligarchies, which through processes of marketization, financialization and the general centrality of the economy in society stimulate and reproduce misogyny. Gender policies created in such a context remain insufficiently geared towards the economic and social development and the emancipation of women and hence ineffective. The empirical findings of a study on 10 couple and 30 family businesses (micro and small sized) illustrate the presence of misogyny in this domain of entrepreneurship. Misogynic relationships of differing visibility and intensity are present in family businesses, in relation to the most important long-term management decisions about the distribution of power and resources in household and business roles in the family firm, in all styles and bargaining models of management. These relationships manifest themselves through prejudices, stereotypes, ritualization and offensive hierarchies. The burden of home work and care work predominantly on female shoulders, and women?s ownership and/or management positions overall are obscured by and subordinate to the male members of the household and family businesses.

Interpretivist Entrepreneurial Research on Indian Millennial: An R/R-QDA Based Approach

Research on entrepreneurship domain and its different dimensions is not new. This paper explores entrepreneurial orientation of Indian millennial and their motivations using open source R/RQDA packages through a qualitative paradigm. The sociological method called “interpretivism” uses qualitative approach which is humanistic as opposed to scientific methods followed by “positivism”. This study uses qualitative data generation techniques e.g. participant observation, focus group discussion, and unstructured interviews, with an emphatic understanding of individual accounts. It applies thematic coding and categorization of the participants’ narratives on a computer assisted platform for grounding it into a theoretical model. Individuals in Indian millennial cohort, don’t just positively react to external positive stimuli to pursue an entrepreneurial career, they possess values e.g. altruism and societal orientation. Narratives from individual accounts manifest different perspectives on singular objective reality as would be broadly construed as social constructionism of Indian milieu. The computing environment of R/RQDA (Source: CRAN) for data coding, aggregation, plotting and theorization on personal narratives drawn from limited accounts in a group setting asserts on the findings that are most appropriate in recent cultural shift witnessing India such as unleashing individual potential or cooperative capitalism toward social change. Identifying a group of budding entrepreneurs currently pursuing business management program and looking for a near future objective realization of an entrepreneurial career was a part of the sampling. Data triangulation is a natural improvement for generalization of the findings to make it a more relevant outcome, and is a limitation of the current study.

A global perspective of entrepreneurship and innovation in China

PurposeThis paper aims to study largely recent aspects of entrepreneurship and innovation in China. It synthesizes the research in the current special issue (SI) ofMultinational Business Review(MBR) on this topic. In addition, this paper differs from other work on this topic in examining entrepreneurship and innovation from a more global standpoint with relevant international effects.Design/methodology/approachThe paper provides an overview of the literature on entrepreneurship, innovation and key related topics such as firm and economic growth, as well as linking this research to related international works. It also summarizes the papers of the SI.FindingsThe authors’ analysis suggests that the study of entrepreneurship and innovation should be placed in the context of a country’s economic development and institutional environment as well as the firm internationalization trajectories and business models. In addition, the authors believe that a good understanding of economic growth in a transition economy like China (which is a key goal of China’s recent emphasis on innovation) is facilitated by understanding the comparative advantages and disadvantages of an economy with respect to the global innovation system.Originality/valueThe authors’ study explores the local-global and parent-subsidiary connectivity and co-evolution of firm strategies and the institutional environment in entrepreneurship and innovation in emerging and transition economies. The authors summarize and synthesize the papers in this SI to provide the results as well as some directions for future research in the domain of entrepreneurship, innovation and new venture creation, which is believed to be a key engine of economic growth in the coming years.

Entrepreneurship as a new liberal art

The skills and knowledge required to engage in entrepreneurship are vital elements of participating fully in contemporary society. We consider the “crisis” in the liberal arts in the USA and show why entrepreneurship can and should be considered fundamental to a renewed and contemporary conception of the liberal arts. Integral to our arguments is a pragmatic view that considers research and teaching in entrepreneurship to be inextricably intertwined. By examining the study of organizations across several social science and humanities disciplines, we highlight the relative narrowness of the current empirical domain of much entrepreneurship research associated with business schools and management journals and develop examples showing the potential theoretical value of substantially expanding the empirical domain of entrepreneurship as organization creation for both research and teaching. Our argument is that the study of entrepreneurship as a new liberal art can be an important source of individual and group emancipation and a fundamental means through which entrepreneurs can become who they want to be while creating the impact on the world they envision. We offer this as a statement of the appropriate domain of entrepreneurship to guide our approach to both research and teaching.

Entrepreneurship for resilience: embeddedness in place and in trans-local grassroots networks

PurposeThis paper aims to contribute to the emerging entrepreneurship research that deals with resilience by examining how embeddedness in place and in trans-local grassroots networks influences proactive entrepreneurship for local resilience.Design/methodology/approachThree theoretical propositions are developed on the basis of the existing literature. These propositions are assisted with brief empirical illustrations of grassroots innovations from the context of agri-food systems.FindingsEmbeddedness in place and in trans-local grassroots networks enables proactive entrepreneurship for local resilience. Social-cultural embeddedness in place facilitates access to local resources and legitimacy, and creation of social value in the community. Ecological embeddedness in place facilitates spotting and leveraging of environmental feedbacks and creation of ecological value. Embeddedness in trans-local grassroots networks provides entrepreneurs with unique resources, including globally transferable knowledge about sustainability challenges and practical solutions to these challenges. As result, entrepreneurship for resilience is explained as an embedding process. Embedding means attuning of practices to local places, as well as making global resources, including knowledge obtained in grassroots networks, work in local settings.Research limitations/implicationsResearchers should continue developing the emerging domain of entrepreneurship for resilience.Practical implicationsThe objective of resilience and due respect to local environment may entail a need to consider appropriate resourcing practices and organisational models.Social implicationsThe critical roles of place-based practices for resilience deserve more recognition in today’s globalised world.Originality/valueThe specific importance of the ecological dimension of embeddedness in place is emphasised. Moreover, by combining entrepreneurship and grassroots innovation literatures, which have talked past each other to date, this paper shows how local and global resources are leveraged throughout the embedding process. Thereby, it opens unexplored research avenues within the emerging domain of entrepreneurship for resilience.

(Co)Mobility, Entrepreneurship, and Organizational Performance

In this panel symposium we seek to take stock and explore future opportunities for research in the domain of employee (co-)mobility, entrepreneurship and organizational performance. We specifically hope to understand and explicate the theoretical implications of co-mobility on various individual, firm or organization-level, and societal outcomes. Each of the panelists is actively doing research within this domain, and in this panel they will discuss what we know (and don’t know) about employee (co-)mobility, particularly in terms of how mobility research relates to key theories of strategy, organization, and entrepreneurship. The overall goal of this panel is to take theoretical stock of the mobility literature, and to sketch theoretically-motivated ways forward for future research.

Micro and Small Village Enterprises (MSVEs) An Alternative Paradigm for Cooperation and Development

This paper aims at appreciating the need for and relevance of understanding conceptual paradigm of Rural entrepreneurship, Rural Entrepreneurs and the creation of Micro and small village enterprises. Enterprises in rural environments are operating in an arena of extreme and rapid change. However, despite the recognition that entrepreneurship is one of the primary facets through which rural economic development can be achieved, empirical research on rural entrepreneurship is relatively sparse and this concept remains largely unknown. The emerging Domain of Rural Entrepreneurship envision itself as a body of knowledge To accelerate the process of Rural Industrialization in the country along the lines of Gandhi an vision of sustainable and self reliant village economy and to provide S&T support to upgrade the products of rural industry so that they gain wide acceptability in the local and global markets. Rural entrepreneurship is currently at the focus of much theoretical, practical and political interest. Rural entrepreneurship stands as a vehicle to improve the quality of life for individuals, families and communities and to sustain a healthy economy and environment. Village enterprises are the creation of rural entrepreneurs and such enterprises have been defined differently in different countries. The present study uses the term Micro and small village Enterprises (MSVEs) broadly to include any enterprise that involves relatively few individuals or employees engaged in activities in the rural context. This paper draws upon a broader research work based on the doctoral dissertation about the Appraisal of Rural Entrepreneurship Development that makes a focused attempt to appraise the role and impact of selected Entrepreneurship Development institutions and the developmental programmes meant for developing, supporting and sustaining micro and small village enterprises (MSVEs). This paper attempts to address the issues pertaining to the development of micro and small village enterprise (MSVEs) as an emerging paradigm and the role of various Entrepreneurship Development Institutions fostering rural entrepreneurship and development of micro and small village enterprise (MSVEs) in Haryana and evaluation of various governmental efforts and schemes intended for rural industrialisation through rural poverty alleviation programmes aiming at entrepreneurship development in the rural areas of the economy.

Women’s entrepreneurship: A model of business-family interface and performance

Recently, there are renewed calls to develop new models addressing the intricacies of women-owned businesses and the women that head them. A new conceptual model of women’s entrepreneurship that involves relationships between business-family-interface and firm performance is introduced in our paper. We test the model based on data from countries around the world and show that the model’s links depend on the country context. As a result, we identify new boundary conditions to the domain of female entrepreneurship. Implications are discussed.

Rural Entrepreneurship Development Ecosystem An Emerging Paradigm of Rural Socio-Economic Development

This paper aims at appreciating the need for and relevance of understanding conceptual paradigm of Rural entrepreneurship Development, Emerging entrepreneurial eco-system, Rural Entrepreneurs and the creation of Micro and small village enterprises. Enterprises in rural environments are operating in an arena of extreme and rapid change. However, despite the recognition that entrepreneurship is one of the primary facets through which rural economic development can be achieved, empirical research on rural entrepreneurship is relatively sparse and this concept remains largely unknown. Entrepreneurship is a crucial element for each country that aims to be competitive and developed within knowledge-based world economy. The emerging domain of Rural Entrepreneurship envisions itself as a body of knowledge to accelerate the process of Rural Industrialization in the country. Rural entrepreneurship is currently at the focus of much theoretical, practical and political interest. Rural entrepreneurship stands as a vehicle to improve the quality of life for individuals, families and communities and to sustain a healthy economy and environment. Rural Entrepreneurship Development (RED) Ecosystem represents a novel and cost-effective strategy for stimulating rural economic prosperity. The need for RED Ecosystem stems from the observation that when we see societies in which entrepreneurship occurs with any regularity or is self-sustaining, we see a unique, complex environment or ecosystem has evolved. This paper draws upon a broader research work based on the doctoral dissertation about the Appraisal of Rural Entrepreneurship Development that makes a focused attempt to address and appraise the issues pertaining to the Rural Entrepreneurship Development (RED) Ecosystem facilitating the development and sustenance of micro and small village enterprise (MSVEs) and the role of various Entrepreneurship Development Institutions fostering rural entrepreneurship and development of micro and small village enterprise (MSVEs) in Haryana and evaluation of various governmental efforts and schemes intended for rural industrialisation through rural poverty alleviation programmes aiming at entrepreneurship development in the rural areas of the economy.
