Abstract

Necessity entrepreneurship (NE) describes the process of venturing a business out of need when alternative options are seemingly absent. Whereas prior research typically understands NE to be a homogenous construct, recent theorizing suggests the possibility of NE heterogeneity. In this paper we employ Sen’s capability approach to elicit NE variety. Using data gathered from 820 households in rural Tanzania, our cluster analysis generates four distinct types of NE that vary significantly regarding their entrepreneurial activities, determinants and outcomes. Our findings demonstrate the relevance of life satisfaction and reveal the role of choice in NE. Our study thereby advances a nuanced perspective of NE.

必要性创业的多样性——来自撒哈拉以南非洲的新见解

必要性创业(NE)描述的是在似乎没有其他选择的情况下，出于需要而冒险创业的过程。虽然先前的研究通常认为NE是一个同质结构，但最近的理论表明NE存在异质性的可能性。在本文中，我们采用Sen的能力方法来引出NE的变化。利用从坦桑尼亚农村820户家庭收集的数据，我们的聚类分析产生了四种不同类型的新能源企业，它们在创业活动、决定因素和结果方面差异很大。我们的研究结果证明了生活满意度的相关性，并揭示了选择在新思维中的作用。因此，我们的研究提出了一个细致入微的NE视角。
