A non-workshop on a socialized view of entrepreneurship: building and extending a community of practice for work on embeddedness
本文以对话形式回顾Alistair Anderson关于嵌入性的集体工作,描述其建立的创业社会化研究实践社群的形成、关键阶段及主要见解,并指出未来研究方向。
This article, in an act of transmutation or world-making, replaces a workshop that was envisioned between one of the authors and Alistair Anderson. It takes the form of a dialog with one of his main co-authors to retrospectively and analytically explore the collective work of Alistair on ‘embeddedness’. We find that Alistair initiated a scholarly community of practice on a socialized view of entrepreneurship (‘entrepreneuring’), the essence of which can be captured through the notion of embeddedness. We describe the emergence of this community, its key production phases, and highlight the main features and insights of its approach, which was never theorized as such. The article also presents possible theoretical extensions of this research by opening several research doors for future work.
