Abstract

Purpose

The aim of this study is to systematise the entrepreneurial coaching (EC) literature by understanding how the phenomenon has been investigated along four dimensions inspired by Gartner’s (1985) conceptualisation of entrepreneurship: entrepreneurial process, context, target and outcomes. In so doing, this study will provide a frame of its multifunctional role and identify relevant gaps and suggestions for future research.

Design/methodology/approach

We conducted a systematic literature review to collect existing works on EC. We analysed 85 selected papers with a qualitative content analysis that allowed us to highlight relevant research themes for the entrepreneurial process, context, outcomes and target.

Findings

Our results demonstrate that EC has a multifunctional role in entrepreneurship that can be summarised in five different typologies, depending on the stage of the entrepreneurial process in which it is applied, the context, the target and the outcomes.

Originality/value

As one of the first attempts to systematise studies on EC, this work extends previous conceptualisation of EC by detailing different typologies of this intervention, thereby contributing to reduced fragmentation and conceptual ambiguity.

通过系统回顾文献了解创业辅导的多功能作用

目的本研究的目的是系统梳理创业辅导（EC）文献，了解在 Gartner（1985 年）创业概念的启发下，如何从创业过程、背景、目标和结果四个维度对创业辅导现象进行研究。在此过程中，本研究将为创业辅导的多功能作用提供一个框架，并找出相关差距和对未来研究的建议。结果我们的研究结果表明，EC 在创业过程中发挥着多功能作用，根据其应用的创业阶段、背景、目标和结果，可将其归纳为五种不同类型。原创性/价值作为首次尝试将有关创业支持的研究系统化的研究之一，这项工作通过详细阐述创业支持的不同类型，扩展了以往对创业支持的概念化，从而有助于减少零散性和概念模糊性。
