Extending the Boundaries: Reframing “Entrepreneurship as Social Change” Through Feminist Perspectives
通过女性主义视角,将创业从“积极经济活动”重新定义为“社会变革”,探讨创业可能带来的多种社会变革,并分析这一重新定义对现有创业理论的影响。
We engage in a critical theoretical exercise to extend the boundaries of entrepreneurship theory and research by reframing “entrepreneurship as positive economic activity” to “entrepreneurship as social change.” Reframing entrepreneurship through feminist analytical lenses, we argue that more theoretical frameworks are needed for exploring the varieties of social change that entrepreneurship may bring about. We also discuss what difference this would make in extant entrepreneurship perspectives. Theoretically, methodologically, and analytically, such reframing is the main contribution of this paper.
