Entrepreneurial activities and occupational boundary work during venture creation and development in the cultural industries
基于民族志研究，探讨文化产业小微企业主如何通过职业边界工作影响创业机会、合法性获取和组织创建，对理解创业中职业知识的转化有启示。
Drawing upon a pragmatist-inspired definition of entrepreneurial activity, this article presents material from an ethnographic study of owner-founders of micro- and small businesses in the cultural industries. The concept of occupational boundary work is developed to examine how entrepreneurial activities are partially shaped by occupations during venture creation and development. The article addresses how occupational boundary work influences venturing opportunities, the process of gaining legitimacy and building commitment to creating and developing organizations. This has relevance for explaining how occupational knowledge is acquired and transformed through entrepreneurial activities during venture creation and development.
