Acting as If: Differentiating Entrepreneurial from Organizational Behavior
提出创业是“涌现”的过程,从组织行为视角探讨创业中的涌现,通过分析管理者的行为和动机来区分创业与组织行为,并讨论如何将涌现概念用于连接组织行为与创业的理论与方法。
This paper suggests that entrepreneurship is the process of “emergence.” An organizational behavior perspective on entrepreneurship would focus on the process of organizational emergence. The usefulness of the emergence metaphor is explored through an exploration of two questions that are the focus of much of the research in organizational behavior: “What do persons in organizations do?” (we will explore this question by looking at research and theory on the behaviors of managers), and “Why do they do what they do?” (ditto for motivation). The paper concludes with some implications for using the idea of emergence as a way to connect theories and methodologies from organizational behavior to entrepreneurship.
