Everyday entrepreneurship among women in Northern Ghana: A practice perspective
运用Schatzki的实践理论，研究加纳北部博尔加坦加地区女性如何通过不精确测量、记账、时间管理、资源转换、祈祷及家庭支持等日常实践完成创业，并分析这些实践如何连接和影响创业与家庭生活的协调。
This article explores everyday entrepreneurship among women in Bolgatanga, Northern Ghana. It uses Schatzki’s theory of practice in studying how entrepreneurship is accomplished. In identifying a number of distinct practices – imprecise measurement; imprecise recordkeeping; timekeeping; transpositional resourcing; praying; and employing, adopting, and supporting family – their connections and consequences are analyzed. The nexuses of practices creates social orders whereby entrepreneurs “take one day at a time” and harmonize entrepreneurial and family life. The article contributes insight into issues that have received little attention in the entrepreneurship literature, including women’s entrepreneurship in areas of developing countries that are experiencing extreme poverty and how practices facilitate and constrain its enactment. It concludes by discussing the research implications.
