The Entrepreneurial Story and its Implications for Research
反思了创业研究中的两种叙事原型(救赎之路与解放手段),提出从讲故事角度分析研究的框架,揭示主流研究的隐含假设和方法偏见,并讨论如何生成替代性故事,推动更实证、多元的研究议程。
Research is not merely report-writing; it also involves elements of storytelling. In this essay, we reflect on two narrative archetypes in entrepreneurship research: the stories of entrepreneurship as a road to salvation and means to emancipation. We outline a framework to analyze research from a storytelling perspective, apply this framework to identify implicit assumptions and methodological biases in mainstream research, and discuss how a storytelling framework can be used to generate alternative stories. We argue for a more empirically grounded research agenda that continues the development of entrepreneurship research into a rich and diverse field.
