Identity, Enactment, and Entrepreneurship Engagement in a Declining Place
研究新西兰一个衰落乡村小镇的创业实践，发现创业者的身份认同与当地地方感存在冲突，强调理解创业需关注社会与空间过程。
We examine entrepreneurship practice and identity work in a rural small town in New Zealand. Once prosperous, the town suffered economically and socially as old industries closed. Recently the town was rejuvenated, largely because of Linda's entrepreneurial activities. Our findings demonstrated conflict between her entrepreneurial identity and local sense of place. We theorize Linda's entrepreneurial identity in her business practice; where she experienced controversy, despite economic success. We argue that a complete understanding of identity and entrepreneurship practices requires attention to social and spatial processes, not just economic processes.
