Bricolentrepreneuring : A comparative phenomenological study of Ukrainian refugees’ entrepreneurial bricolage practices in the UK and Romania
研究了乌克兰难民在英国和罗马尼亚如何利用有限资源进行创业拼凑，揭示了战争创伤对其创业过程的影响，为支持边缘群体创业的政策制定提供参考。
Uncertainty, discrimination, and socioeconomic marginalization in host countries lead many refugees to entrepreneurial bricolage. Understanding their bricolage practices is crucial to designing policies and programmes to support refugee entrepreneurship, yet little is known about how refugees enact bricolage practices where institutional support is lacking, resources are constrained and where they contend with war trauma due to displacement. In the first study of its kind, we use interpretive phenomenological analysis (IPA) and draw on the concept of ‘bricolage’ to investigate Ukrainian refugee practices in the UK and Romania. Our findings affirm the importance of understanding the contexts which shape these refugees’ practices. Importantly, they draw much-deserved attention to how the war trauma that refugees carry with them influences their bricolentrepreneuring journeys. We state our theoretical contributions and explore the implications for effective policy making to support ‘entrepreneurship at the margins’.
