Heterogeneous Entrepreneurial Action: A Knowledge Problem ApproachManocha, Parul 14 June 2023 (has links)
Doctor of Philosophy / This dissertation joins a vibrant conversation in entrepreneurship research about the variance and similarity of entrepreneurial action and related outcomes. Specifically, this dissertation explores the effects of external environmental changes, such as COVID-19, Artificial Technology, the NCAA's Rule Change on the use of Name, Image, and Likeness, on entrepreneurship. Given that these environmental changes vary—some are more sudden than others, they do not have the same impact on entrepreneurship, in essence, they lead to heterogeneous entrepreneurial action and outcomes. By developing three interconnected essays, the dissertation examines the heterogeneity in entrepreneurship. Collectively, these essays bring home the idea that changes in the external environment provide important raw materials for individuals and firms to undertake entrepreneurial action. The findings suggest that variance in the raw materials and the characteristics of the individuals and firms generate heterogeneous entrepreneurial action and outcomes. Consequently, the presence of inequities in entrepreneurship corresponds to the societal grand challenges faced by policymakers around the world. Subsequently, by providing a novel theory and empirical treatments of the causes of heterogeneity of entrepreneurial action, the dissertation signifies the continued relevance of the entrepreneurship discipline to the spheres of academia and practice.

Corrida maluca em territórios desconhecidos: como empreendedores gerenciam incertezas individuais e coletivas em ecossistemas empreendedores. / Mad races in unknown territories: how entrepreneurs manage individual and collective uncertainties in the entrepreneurial ecosystems.Gomes, Leonardo Augusto de Vasconcelos 29 November 2013 (has links)
Esta tese investiga a ação empreendedora a partir de um ângulo pouco explorado na literatura: a gestão de incertezas interdependentes que afetam a ação empreendedora e de outras organizações que cocriam e codesenvolvem inovações. Pesquisas sobre ação empreendedora, planejamento, modelo de negócios e gestão de projetos sob incertezas focam no gerenciamento de incertezas presentes em um projeto de inovação ou que afetam uma empresa específica. Essas pesquisas não investigam casos nos quais as incertezas extrapolam o ciclo de vida de um projeto, ou seja, as incertezas que não podem ser equacionadas durante o processo de desenvolvimento do produto ou serviço, embora exerçam influência significativa no desempenho deles, no futuro. Essas pesquisas também não exploram conceitualmente e empiricamente as incertezas que afetam diversas organizações em um mesmo ecossistema. Para preencher essas lacunas, propomos uma abordagem alternativa para ecossistemas. Um ecossistema empreendedor pode ser descrito como uma rede interdependente de incertezas individuais (aquelas que afetam um ator específico) e coletivas (as que afetam um grupo de atores). A partir dessa proposição, a seguinte pergunta dirige este trabalho: como empreendedores gerenciam incertezas coletivas e individuais, presentes no ecossistema empreendedor, durante o advento de corridas tecnológicas? Nosso interesse é responder a essa pergunta em contextos envolvendo corridas tecnológicas, ou seja, situações em que diferentes ecossistemas disputam a liderança ou pioneirismo nas fases iniciais de uma nova trajetória tecnológica ou de um novo mercado nascido a partir de uma tecnologia. Para responder a essa pergunta, esta pesquisa constrói o seu quadro conceitual a partir de diferentes literaturas, tais como gestão estratégica com foco em ecossistemas, ação empreendedora, modelo de negócios, gestão de projetos sob incerteza e incertezas. Empregando uma abordagem de pesquisa empírica baseada em estudos de casos longitudinais e indutivos, investigamos seis ecossistemas empreendedores que nasceram para desenvolver e explorar comercialmente inovações radicais. A contribuição central desta tese é um framework que descreve como empreendedores, de forma proativa, gerenciam incertezas coletivas empregando os seguintes processos: conectando incertezas e mitigando e amplificando os efeitos da propagação de incertezas. Sugerimos que, se devidamente gerenciadas, as incertezas podem ser uma fonte de valor e vantagem competitiva para empresas empreendedoras e ecossistemas. Nesse sentido, foi desenvolvida uma abordagem holística e subjetiva de incerteza, oferecendo insights sobre a gestão de incertezas em ecossistemas. Espera-se que esta tese contribua para revigorar o debate sobre gestão de incertezas e estratégia, em empresas nascentes de base tecnológica. / This thesis investigates entrepreneurial action from an unexplored point of view in the literature: managing interdependent uncertainties that affect an entrepreneurial firm and other organizations that jointly create and develop innovations. Research on entrepreneurial action, planning, business model and project management under uncertainty focuses on managing the uncertainty present in an innovation project or affecting a specific company. It does not investigate cases in which the uncertainties extrapolate the life cycle of a project, i.e., the uncertainties that can not be equated during the process of development of the product or service and have significant influence on their performance in the future. Prior research does not explore conceptually and empirically uncertainties that affect different organizations in the same ecosystem. To fill this gap, we propose an alternative approach to ecosystems. An entrepreneurial ecosystem can be described as a network of interdependent individual uncertainties (that affects a specific actor) and collective uncertainties (that affect a group of actors). This thesis aims at understanding how entrepreneurs manage individual and collective uncertainties present in the entrepreneurial ecosystem during technological races, i.e., situations in which different ecosystems compete for leadership in the early stages of a new technological trajectory or in a new market. This research builds its conceptual framework from different literatures, such as strategic management focusing on ecosystems, entrepreneurial action, business model, and project management under uncertainty. This research proposes a framework that describes how entrepreneurs proactively manage collective uncertainties employing the following processes: \"connecting uncertainties\" and \"mitigating and amplifying\" the effects of propagation of uncertainties. We suggest that, if properly managed, uncertainties can be a source of value and competitive advantage for companies and ecosystems.

Previous issue date: 2016-02-29 / CNPQ / O principal objetivo desse trabalho foi o de mapear quais são os sentidos dados ao empreendedorismo, em termos morais, pelas pessoas que o praticam ou que tem alguma relação com ele. A ideia de sentido, aqui, basicamente diz respeito ao modo como determinado valor mobiliza uma ação e, ao mesmo tempo, justifica-a quando essa mesma ação é objeto de reflexão. Assim, o trabalho se inscreve no plano de uma sociologia da moral. Para que essa investigação fosse possível, foi adotado o referencial teórico da sociologia pragmática francesa, mais especificamente o trabalho Luc Boltanski e Éve Chiapello O novo espírito do capitalismo. O ponto central da abordagem é mostrar como as justificativas para a ação percorrem um campo moral mais amplo e, como produção de sentido, passam pela reflexão das pessoas. Com isso, a ideia de empreendedorismo foi dividida em espírito empreendedor – aspecto moral mais amplo – e modelo de ação empreendedora – o modo como as pessoas produzem sentido para suas ações em alguma atividade empreendedora. Para a caracterização do primeiro ponto, foi feita uma revisão de literatura em teses e dissertações que têm o empreendedorismo como valor demandado, ou seja, trabalhos que tomam o empreendedorismo como “modelo” e, como caracterização do segundo, foram feitas nove entrevistas com pessoas que exercem alguma atividade empreendedora ou lidam com ela de forma indireta. Esse material foi analisado a partir do modelo da cité por projetos, desenvolvida ainda no âmbito da sociologia pragmática. O procedimento de análise resultou em ensejos que podem dar alguma compreensão sobre o tipo de relação que existe entre moral e prática quando se pensa o empreendedorismo como um valor. Na conclusão, o aspecto central foi o de explorar os valores associados ao empreendedorismo mostrando que, direta ou indiretamente, a ação é pensada em termos individuais mas com algum nível de percepção sobre o bem comum. / The main propose of this master’s thesis is to identify which meanings (in moral terms) of entrepreneurship are taken by the people who either utilize it or have some relation to it. By “meanings”, the author refers to the process in which a value mobilizes a certain practice and, at the same time, justifies such practice when it is taken as object of reflexion. Thus, this thesis is allocated in the frame of a sociology of morality. In order to conduct such investigation, it has been utilized the French Pragmatic Sociology, in particular the work by Luc Boltanski and Éve Chiapello “The New Spirit of Capitalism”. The main point of such approach is to demonstrate how the justifications for action run across a broad moral field and, as a production of meaning, go through people’s reflections. Therefore, the idea of entrepreneurship is understood as entrepreneurship spirit - broad moral aspect - and model of entrepreneur action - the way in which people produce meaning for their actions in some sort of entrepreneur activity. In order to characterize the first point, it was conducted a review of literature on thesis in which entrepreneurship appears as a requested value, in other words, essays that take entrepreneurship as a “model”. Regarding the second aspect, nine interviews were conducted with people who either practice entrepreneur activities or handle such activities indirectly. These material was analyzed from a “cité” for projects model, developed in the Pragmatic Sociology framework. The procedure of analysis resulted in points that can enlighten the comprehension of the kind of relation existing between moral and practice - when entrepreneurship is understood as a value. In the final considerations, the main aspect is to explore the values associated to entrepreneurship showing that, directly or indirectly, an action is thought in individual terms, but also, at some degree, in terms of common good.

The event of organisational entrepreneurship:disrupting the reigning order and creating new spaces for play and innovationKauppinen, A. (Antti) 09 June 2012 (has links)
Abstract
Organisational entrepreneurship is an entrepreneurial event. By-products of such events may include the emergence of business organisations. In this study, I discuss the event of organisational entrepreneurship fostered by organisational creativity. An event of organisational entrepreneurship can happen in the context of social spaces for play and innovation. In these social spaces, novelty, movement, and change are outcomes of the role of organisational entrepreneurship in society. The dissertation consists of four essays.
Prior research defines organisational entrepreneurship as a relationship between the managerial order and organisational creativity. This particular relationship, rather than being a precise state, is one that problematises the tradition of studying entrepreneurship as a sub-discipline of management. Researchers tend to be drawn to studying the entrepreneurial order, but less so the play and innovation that contribute to the creativity aspect. Whilst permitting space for play and innovation have been acknowledged to be crucial, the role of play and innovation between the discourses of business opportunities and entrepreneurial becoming has not been discussed.
The literature review in this study shows that understanding the concepts of entrepreneurial actions and processes is key to explicating organisational entrepreneurship. Hence, the principal research question of this study is: how do entrepreneurial actions and processes frame the very nature of the event of organisational entrepreneurship? There are four sub-questions (one for each essay) that illustrate how an entrepreneurial event is about creation of new spaces for play and innovation. The purpose of this study is to show what role playfulness and innovativeness play in organisational entrepreneurship.
I have empirically investigated how international business opportunities may be created through entrepreneurial actions in a multinational collaboration project, and found that social learning is at the heart of the process. In addition, I have examined an entrepreneurial process through the story of an up-and-coming stand-up comedian. This study shows that the entrepreneurial process emerges from the desire to become-Other. The entrepreneurial stories of this qualitative study come from two data sets (conducted in Finland and in Denmark). The research outline problematises the prior research, in which storytelling is rarely used. The dissertation concludes by suggesting that one role of playfulness and innovativeness is to create business opportunities and entrepreneurial becoming. / Tiivistelmä
Organisatorinen yrittäjyys on yksi yrittäjämäinen tila. Tällaisessa tilassa monenlaisten sivutuotteiden, kuten liikeyrityksen, syntyminen on mahdollista. Organisatorinen luovuus tukee näiden tilojen luomiseen liittyvää tekemistä ja prosesseja. Yrittäjämäiset tilat ovat mahdollisia konteksteissa, joita tässä väitöskirjatutkimuksessa tutkittiin tiloina leikille ja innovaatioille. Näiden tilojen ansiosta uutuus, liike ja muutos ovat mahdollisia ja ne kuvaavat organisatorisen yrittäjyyden roolia yhteiskunnassa. Tämä väitöskirja on neljän esseen kokoelma.
Aikaisempi tutkimus määrittelee organisatorisen yrittäjyyden johtajuuden hallinnan ja organisatorisen luovuuden väliseksi suhteeksi. Ennemmin kuin jokin tila tällä jatkumolla suhde sinänsä kyseenalaistaa tradition, joka tutkii yrittäjyyttä johtajuustutkimuksen koulukuntana. Siinä tutkimusintressi on ollut hallinta, mutta ei kovin usein leikki ja innovaatiot. Vaikka leikki ja innovaatiot on nähty tärkeinä asioina, siitä huolimatta niiden roolia linkkinä liiketoimintamahdollisuuksien luomisen ja yrittäjämäiseksi tulemisen välillä ei ole vielä kovin hyvin tutkittu.
Tämän tutkimuksen kirjallisuuskatsaus osoittaa, että yrittäjämäiset toiminnot ja prosessit ovat keskeisimmät käsitteet organisatorisessa yrittäjyydessä. Tutkimuksen päätutkimuskysymys kuuluu: kuinka yrittäjämäiset toiminnot ja prosessit rajaavat organisatorisen yrittäjyyden syvimmän luonteen yrittäjämäisenä tapahtumana? Tutkimuksen tarkoitus on näyttää, mikä rooli leikinomaisuudella ja innovatiivisuudella on organisatorisessa yrittäjyydessä silloin, kun se nähdään yrittäjämäisenä tilana.
Tutkin empiirisesti kansainvälisten liiketoimintamahdollisuuksien luomista ja sitä, miten se tapahtuu monikansallisessa yhteistyöprojektissa. Tuloksena löysin, että se on sosiaalista oppimista. Lisäksi tutkin yrittäjämäiseksi tulemisen prosessia standup-koomikoksi tulevan henkilön kautta. Se näyttää, että syy yrittäjämäisen prosessin ilmentymiselle on intohimo tulla toiseksi. Tutkimuksen yrittäjämäiset tarinat perustuvat kahdelle aineiston lähteelle (tehty Suomessa ja Tanskassa). Tutkimusasetelma kyseenalaistaa tutkimuksen, jossa tarinankerrontaa on käytetty harvoin. Tulokset osoittavat, että leikinomaisuuden ja innovatiivisuuden rooli on luoda uusia liiketoimintamahdollisuuksia ja yrittäjämäiseksi tulemisen prosesseja.

Assessing the actions taken in a post disaster environment for financial gain in a construction company : A case study of Newtech Installations 1992-2020Antonsson, Ida, Champigny, Julien January 2020 (has links)
With globalisation and global warming threats, natural disasters happen at a faster rate, and their impact is drastically more prominent than before. In this thesis, we investigate the actions the organisation Newtech performed in three post-natural disaster environments to enter the markets and benefit from them. By analysing the key actions an organisation can take in order to be more likely to benefit in a post-natural disaster market, the intention is to make more ventures aware of this tappable market and how to profit from entering it. This research uses a one case study to investigate the nuanced perspective of a venture that has, on multiple occasions, entered post-natural disaster markets and what key actions performed. From evaluating pre-existing literature and patterns spotted in the empirical data collected through interviews with the organisation, there appeared five key actions for non-local ventures that strive to enter a post-natural disaster market. The actions discovered by this thesis are (1) spot the opportunity, (2) investigate the environment of the market pre-arrival, (3) prepare based on the investigation, (4) continuously observe the market, (5) make adaptions if necessary.

Growth Intentions in New Ventures : The Influence of Founders' Prior Work ExperiencesForsberg, Hanna, Lundkvist, Tilma January 2022 (has links)
Background: Founders hold a powerful position that can shape the future and direction of their new ventures, especially in the early stages of venture development. Prior work experiences are known to be influential for future growth, but the relationship between founders' prior work experiences and their growth intentions is poorly understood. Purpose: The study aims to contribute to the existing literature by furthering the awareness and understanding of how founders are using their prior work experiences when shaping and evaluating their growth intentions. The study answers the research question: How do founders' prior work experiences influence growth intentions in the early stages of venture development? Method: Our method is based on qualitative research and adapts an explanatory purpose to capture the process between prior work experiences and growth intentions and elaborate the understanding of how growth intentions are created in the early stage of the ventures' development. Through a case study with semi-structured interviews, we have interviewed nine new venture founders in the tech sector, which have been the ground for our empirics. The analysis of data was conducted in three steps, namely empirical analysis, retroduction, and corroboration. Conclusion: Our study advances the explanation of how founders' prior work experiences shape how they manage their ventures' internal environments, which impact their growth intentions. By conducting a conceptual model, we explained how building social working environment, structuring people and practices, and implementing routines manifest as mechanisms in the process between prior experiences and growth.

Previous issue date: 2017-02-22 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / This study has as main objective to understand the situated learning process of entrepreneurs of the city of Cajazeiras (PB) as authors of their entrepreneurial action. Thus, we tried to describe the shared narratives of the personal and professional trajectories of entrepreneurs of the city of Cajazeiras (PB); identify the constituent elements of entrepreneurial action; characterize the situated learning of the entrepreneurs; and outline the development of the authorship of entrepreneurial action. The research is based on the theoretical knowledge (a) of the entrepreneurial action as an individual and relational agency, rooted in a social context; (b) situational, contextual and relational entrepreneurial learning; And (c) entrepreneurial authorship developed through interactive and reflective relationships, and responsible for the cooperative creation of a socially recognized identity. Narrative was the main research strategy used. Eleven individuals were interviewed, besides the entrepreneur, who are part of the personal and professional network of this subject. The results reveal the entrepreneurial authorship as a competence based on the situated action, learning and narrative of the entrepreneurs. This authorship is built through the contextual, professional and personal immersion of the entrepreneur in the mileu in which it is situated. This mileu is infused with individual and collective meanings and actions that will be (re) built throughout the life of the entrepreneur through his living together with family, friends, business partners, employees, the community in general, and especially with mentors. To facilitate comprehension, the analysis was performed in a way to interpret each objective at a time. Thus, one perceives the life narrative of an author-entrepreneur marked by the shared understanding of his own self, of the critical events and the contextualization of these moments; The entrepreneurial action as being formed by collective actions of diverse social institutions and agents, the feeling and situation of rooting and the own entrepreneurial agency; Entrepreneurial learning as marked by personal situated theories, by cultural participation, relational and interactive learning, professional and sectoral immersion, by doing and reflecting and by the recognition of error; And, entrepreneurial authorship as a competence constituted of collective construction, maturity, protagonism and authorial identity. With this, entrepreneurial authorship is understood as being developed throughout the life of the entrepreneur by the learning situated and exercised daily by his entrepreneurial action. / Este estudo tem como objetivo compreender o processo de aprendizagem situada de um empresário da cidade de Cajazeiras (PB) enquanto autor de sua ação empreendedora. Assim, buscou-se descrever as narrativas compartilhadas das trajetórias pessoais e profissionais de um empreendedor da cidade de Cajazeiras- PB; identificar os elementos constitutivos da ação empreendedora; caracterizar a aprendizagem empreendedora situada; e delinear o desenvolvimento da autoria da ação empreendedora. A pesquisa está embasada sobre os conhecimentos teóricos (a) da ação empreendedora enquanto agência individual e relacional, enraizada em um contexto social; (b) a aprendizagem empreendedora situada, contextual e relacional; e (c) da autoria empreendedora desenvolvida por meio dos relacionamentos interativos e reflexivos e, responsável pela criação cooperada de uma identidade socialmente reconhecida. A Narrativa foi a principal estratégia de pesquisa utilizada. Foram entrevistados, além do empreendedor, onze indivíduos que fazem parte da rede pessoal e profissional desse sujeito. Os resultados revelam a autoria empreendedora como uma competência fundamentada na ação, na aprendizagem e na narrativa situada dos empreendedores. Essa autoria é construída por meio da imersão contextual, profissional e pessoal do empreendedor no meio em que está situado. Este meio é infundido de significados e ações individuais e coletivas que vão se (re) construindo durante toda a vida do empreendedor por meio de sua convivência com a família, amigos, parceiros de negócio, funcionários, comunidade em geral e, principalmente, com mentores. Para facilitar a compreensão, a análise foi realizada de acordo com os objetivos específicos da pesquisa. Assim, percebe-se a narrativa de vida de um autor-empreendedor marcada pela compreensão compartilhada do si próprio, dos eventos críticos e da contextualização desses momentos; a ação empreendedora como sendo formada por ações coletivas de diversas instituições sociais e agentes, do sentimento e situação de enraizamento e da própria agência empreendedora; a aprendizagem empreendedora situada como marcada pelas teorias pessoais situadas, pela participação contextual, aprendizagem relacional e interativa, imersão profissional e setorial, pelo fazer e refletir e pelo reconhecimento do erro; e, a autoria empreendedora como sendo uma competência constituída da construção coletiva, da maturidade, do protagonismo e da identidade autoral. Com isso, compreende-se a autoria empreendedora como sendo desenvolvida durante toda a vida do empreendedor pela aprendizagem situada e exercida diariamente pela sua ação empreendedora.
