A new path to the waterfall: A narrative on a use of entrepreneurial narrative
指出传统范式思维难以描述创业意图、行动与情境的关系,提出用“叙事”作为理解这一关系的新框架,并建议采用一种特定的叙事策略(“新路径”)来研究创业。
The limitations of the paradigmatic mode of thought as an approach for describing and understanding the nature of entrepreneurial intentions and actions and their interrelationships with circumstance is explored by showing how the author’s previous empirical scholarship often fails to offer insights into the intention/action/circumstance condition (IACC) in entrepreneurship. As a way to understand and describe the IACC in entrepreneurship, the rubric ‘narrative’ is offered as a ‘solution.’ The author suggests a particular narrative gambit (the ‘new path’) for studying entrepreneurship.
