The Technologization of Entrepreneurial Processes: A Poverty Perspective
基于对低收入创业者的访谈数据，研究贫困创业者如何与数字技术互动，提出技术化模式框架，揭示技术对贫困创业的影响。
Technology plays a crucial role in the entrepreneurship process. Yet, little is known of how the entrepreneurial processes of the poor are affected by technology and vice versa. Using interview data from a sample of low-income entrepreneurs, this article develops a framework for how the delicate interaction between entrepreneurial processes such as bricolage and effectuation, and (digital) technologies unfold. Building on interpretive inductive research, we uncovered four main categories that describe the <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">technologization</i> patterns of entrepreneurial individuals in poverty: strategies to resource the business; innovative capability; community building; and dynamic capabilities. Our work offers a more comprehensive understanding of technology and its impact on poverty ventures.
