Abstract

As religion gains prominence in several countries, research to understand the dynamics between religion and business becomes critical. Extant research paid scant attention to the influence of religion on entrepreneurial activities. To develop insights into this phenomenon, we conduct reflexive field-based case study research on a family business in Kazakhstan that experienced the inclusion of religion as a dominant logic in the management. Kazakhstan provides an interesting context to study the phenomenon as religion gained prominence in post-Soviet Kazakhstan after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Our study reveals how religion can influence the entrepreneurial mind and activities and transform the family business. Our inductive theorization offers a process model of entrepreneurial journey under the influence of religion and its impact on the organizing of family business. The model consists of influenced disruption, creative combination and pragmatic adaptation through which the entrepreneur with religion as a dominant logic can transform the family business and attain organizational stability. For academia, the study contributes to extend the scholarly understanding of religion as an influencer in entrepreneurship and family business. For practice, our work shows how religious principles as constraints can enact creativity and innovation in organizational transformation.
宗教作为创业活动的主导逻辑:“我们要吃汉堡,哈萨克斯坦”及其周边动态的理论化
随着宗教在一些国家获得突出地位,研究宗教与商业之间的动态变得至关重要。现有的研究很少关注宗教对创业活动的影响。为了深入了解这一现象,我们对哈萨克斯坦的一家家族企业进行了反思性的实地案例研究,该企业在管理中融入了宗教作为主导逻辑。哈萨克斯坦为研究这一现象提供了一个有趣的背景,因为宗教在1991年苏联解体后的后苏联哈萨克斯坦获得了突出地位。我们的研究揭示了宗教如何影响企业家的思想和活动,并改变家族企业。我们的归纳理论提供了一个宗教影响下的创业历程及其对家族企业组织的影响过程模型。该模型由影响破坏、创造性组合和务实适应三种模式组成,以宗教为主导逻辑的企业家可以通过这三种模式实现家族企业的转型和组织的稳定。对于学术界来说,这项研究有助于扩大对宗教在创业和家族企业中的影响的学术理解。在实践中,我们的工作展示了宗教原则作为约束如何在组织转型中发挥创造力和创新。

期刊介绍: South Asian Journal of Business and Management Cases (SAJBMC) is a peer-reviewed, tri-annual journal of Birla Institute of Management Technology, Greater Noida (India). The journal aims to provide a space for high-quality original research or analytical cases, evidence-based case studies, comparative studies on industry sectors, products, and practical applications of management concepts. The journal likes to publish problem-solving, decisional and applied types of cases. Such cases must have linkage with theory, at least one dilemma (also known as case issue) and a protagonist around whom the case issue will revolve. Publication of pure research, applied research and field studies with empirical data do not fall under the domain of SAJBMC. Fictitious cases are not welcome.
