Dirty Entrepreneurship: The Intersectionality of Entrepreneurs’ Dirty Recycling Businesses
研究采用归纳法，以肮脏塑料回收业务中的创业者为样本，构建了肮脏回收业务的交叉性模型，揭示了个体的交叉性如何推动其进入肮脏创业、如何经营业务以及污名化他人。
Although much has been made about heroic entrepreneurs, there is recent interest in less glamorous forms of entrepreneurship. The least glamorous is dirty entrepreneurship. In this study, we used an inductive approach and a sample of entrepreneurs engaged in dirty plastic recycling businesses to develop an intersectionality model of entrepreneurs’ dirty recycling businesses. This inductive study offers new insights into how individuals’ intersectionality pushes them into dirty entrepreneurship, how they approach their businesses, and who they stigmatize. Interestingly, individuals’ dirty place and caste push them into dirty entrepreneurship that collectively cleans the environment despite not intending to do so.
