Want more high-growth entrepreneurs? Then control corruption with less ineffective bureaucracy
For decades, scholars have been concerned with the role of public policy in stimulating entrepreneurial activity. Aside from pro-entrepreneurship policy, governments can also erect barriers to startup activity. Researchers have concluded that the degree of corruption in a country can become a significant deterrent to entrepreneurship, while research on the relationship between bureaucracy and startup rates has been inconclusive. In this study, we…
Sustainable Entrepreneurship Research: Taking Stock and looking ahead
The recognition of entrepreneurship as a solution to, rather than a cause of, environmental degradation and social inequality moved the field to identify a new type of entrepreneurial activity, namely sustainable entrepreneurship. Scholarly interest has spiked in recent years; however, aside from its aspirational appeal, there remains a lack of understanding of the nature of the phenomenon and the future of sustainable entrepreneurship in theory …
Sharing cities and sustainable consumption and production: Towards an integrated framework
The Emergence of the Urban Entrepreneur: How the Growth of Cities and the Sharing Economy Are Driving a New Breed of Innovators
Combining emerging trends in collaboration, democratization, and urbanization, this book examines the emergence of entrepreneurship and innovation as a primarily urban phenomenon, explains why urban environments are rapidly attracting global innovators across three distinct forms of "urbanpreneurship," and lights the path forward for entrepreneurs, innovators, and city governments. The world is urbanizing rapidly. Currently, 600 cities account fo…
Toward a Theory of Purpose-Driven Urban Entrepreneurship
Inspired by Shrivastava and Kennelly, we aim to extend theory on place-based entrepreneurship by highlighting the uniqueness of cities and the interplay between purpose-driven entrepreneurs and the urban places where they operate. This article sets out to conceptualize a middle-range theoretical framework and establish the boundary conditions for purpose-driven urban entrepreneurship based on a combination of inductive reasoning and deductive the…
Ride On! Mobility Business Models for the Sharing Economy
The public perception of shared goods has changed substantially in the past few years. While co-owning properties has been widely accepted for a while (e.g., timeshares), the notion of sharing bikes, cars, or even rides on an on-demand basis is just now starting to gain widespread popularity. The emerging "sharing economy" is particularly interesting in the context of cities that struggle with population growth and increasing density. While shari…
Market imperfections, opportunity and sustainable entrepreneurship
Sustainable valley entrepreneurial ecosystems
This research examines the applicability of the entrepreneurial ecosystem literature to the development of a ‘ustainable valley’, whereby a community becomes a centre for entrepreneurial innovations. Specifically, this research explores how components of the formal and informal network, physical infrastructure and culture within a community could contribute to a sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystem. One community, Victoria, British Columbia, is …
