Everyday Entrepreneurship—A Call for Entrepreneurship Research to Embrace Entrepreneurial Diversity
批评过度聚焦科技企业和增长的创业视角,主张拥抱创业的多样性,认为更广泛的视角能带来更好的理论和更贴近现象的真知灼见。
This essay contrasts a perspective that places an excessive focus on technology businesses and growth with a view of entrepreneurship that embraces its heterogeneity. We challenge a taken–for–granted belief that only certain kinds of entrepreneurship might lead to wealth and job creation and additionally suggest that these two outcomes (wealth and job creation) need to be placed within a broader context of reasons, purposes, and values for why and how entrepreneurship emerges. We suggest that a wider and nondiscriminatory perspective on what constitutes entrepreneurship will lead to better theory and more insights that are relevant to the phenomenon.
