Abstract

For decades, entrepreneurship and strategy research has been dominated by agent-centric and inward-looking theoretical perspectives. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic demonstrates the limits of this stance, as its influence on business has been both enormous and palpable. For the most part, the effects of the pandemic are no doubt negative. Business research—and presumably business practice—typically address such influence in terms of failure, resilience, and crisis management among existing businesses. Contrasting this prevalent discourse, we focus instead on positive influence of the pandemic for some emerging and new ventures. We analyze the many possible positive effects on entrepreneurship practice and highlight also positive effects on entrepreneurship research. We illustrate both positives by applying the External Enabler framework. JEL CLASSIFICATION: L26, M13, O3, R11
COVID-19作为创业实践和研究的外部推动者
几十年来,企业家精神和战略研究一直被代理人中心和内向的理论视角所主导。正在进行的COVID-19大流行表明了这种立场的局限性,因为它对商业的影响既巨大又明显。在大多数情况下,这一大流行病的影响无疑是消极的。商业研究——可能是商业实践——通常会在现有企业的失败、恢复力和危机管理方面解决这种影响。与这种流行的说法形成对比的是,我们转而关注这一流行病对一些新兴企业和新企业的积极影响。我们分析了许多可能对创业实践产生的积极影响,并强调了对创业研究的积极影响。我们通过应用External Enabler框架来说明这两种积极因素。凝胶分类:26,m13, o3, r11
