Framing the Entrepreneurial Experience
基于情感事件理论，提出从体验视角理解创业，认为创业是一系列相互依赖的情感事件，创业者不断面对新奇，并构建模型阐述创业前经历、关键事件、体验加工、学习、情感结果与决策的关系。
Building on affective events theory (AET), an experiential perspective for conceptualizing entrepreneurship is introduced. As a “lived experience,” entrepreneurship represents a cumulative series of interdependent events that takes on properties rooted in affect and emotion. Unique characteristics of entrepreneurial experiences are examined. The entrepreneur is presented as actor in an unscripted temporal performance who continually encounters novelty. A model and set of propositions are presented linking pre–venture experience, key events, experiential processing, learning, affective outcomes, and decision making. It is argued that the entrepreneur and venture emerge as a function of ongoing experience, with the venture creating the entrepreneur as the entrepreneur creates the venture.
