Advancing Strategic Entrepreneurship Research: The Role of Complexity Science in Shifting the Paradigm
识别了战略创业研究中五个待深化的领域,提出用复杂性科学作为新理论视角,重新定义机会空间和范式,以应对波动、不可逆和非线性等现实特征。
Five areas are identified wherein more development might enhance the current model of strategic entrepreneurship (SE): exploration–exploitation, opportunity, newness, micro–macro interaction, and dynamics. Complexity science is presented as an alternative theoretical lens for addressing these issues, and enhancing the potential of SE in a world characterized by fluctuations, irreversibility, nonlinearity, and instabilities. Using this lens, a rearticulation of SE is proposed that centers on the notion of an opportunity space and a paradigm built around forms, flows, and functions. SE's domain consists of a complex set of phenomena that cannot be neatly bundled according to disciplinary boundaries.
