Entrepreneurship as a pathway into and out of poverty: a configuration perspective
基于西班牙83名低收入者的数据，通过多重对应分析和聚类分析，识别出三种与创业意图、动机和个人价值观相关的进出贫困路径，对理论、实践和公共政策有启示。
Entrepreneurship is widely argued to be an important solution to poverty. While there is a growing volume of work on poverty and entrepreneurial action in developing nations, empirical work in developed countries is more scarce. Drawing on the entrepreneurial intentions and motivations literature together with personal values theory, we explore changes in the economic status and job status of 83 individuals from low-income contexts in Spain. Based on a series of multiple correspondence analysis and cluster analyses of data collected in two periods in time, three profiles of entrepreneurial intentions, motivations, and personal values associated with pathways into and out of poverty through entrepreneurship are identified. Implications are drawn for theory, practice and public policy.
