A Question of Time: Overcoming Temporal Tensions in Collective Indigenous Entrepreneurship Through Temporal Work
研究原住民与非原住民合作伙伴在集体创业中的时间观念冲突，通过长期案例揭示时间工作如何调和分歧、凝聚共识，对管理者和政策制定者有参考价值。
Collective forms of Indigenous entrepreneurship are often seen as a mechanism to promote social equity through productive collaboration between Indigenous and non-Indigenous partners. However, the different temporal frames that Indigenous and non-Indigenous people bring to collective Indigenous entrepreneurship can undermine collaboration. Our research explores tensions in temporal frames, related to time horizon, project view, and momentum. Our longitudinal, in-depth case study of the Bundian Way, a social enterprise involving over 40 partners, highlights the critical role temporal work plays in shifting temporal frames and coalescing partners around a shared vision. Our research contributes to the literature on Indigenous entrepreneurship by highlighting the role of temporal work in reconciling temporal tensions between Indigenous and non-Indigenous partners. Our research extends theorization on temporal work by showing how, as a transformative mechanism, it shifts embedded temporal frames and generates new ways of organizing.
