The Role of Context for Theory Development: Evidence From Entrepreneurship Research on Russia
构建了一个分析情境与理论互动的框架，通过对俄罗斯创业研究的文献综述，展示了情境化如何促进创业理论发展，并提出了基于俄罗斯历史地理特色的本土理论构想。
To better understand the role of context for theory development in entrepreneurship, we build a theoretical framework which captures four aspects of the “theory to context” and “context to theory” interplay. We use the results from a literature review of entrepreneurship research on Russia published in leading journals over the past 30-year period to test our framework and show how contextualization enhances theoretical development in the entrepreneurship field and how context theorizing leads to the development of new theories. We propose ideas for the development of indigenous theory of Russian entrepreneurship based on the specificity of history and geography.
