Abstract

PurposeThe aim of the study is to examine the reciprocal relation between context and emancipatory acts. Context is important in shaping the entrepreneurial action, particularly in a developing region, as it expounds its emancipatory role. At the same time emancipatory acts can affect context as well.Design/methodology/approachThe study employs an inductive research design, applying an open-ended exploratory research and conversation analysis, to elicit the stories of 25 entrepreneurs who are challenging their status quo.FindingsActs of emancipation were observed through a dynamic process centred around entrepreneurs' abilities to respond to policy debates. These debates introduced an individual level action towards social and institutional change. The findings present a model of entrepreneurial acts as an enabler in a socially constrained and challenging context.Originality/valueThrough contextual embeddedness, this study captured the entrepreneur's abilities to re-perform and negotiation with their context towards actions of emancipation. The study aims to capture individuals' narratives to enhance our understanding of the contextual and embedded factors that shape the entrepreneurial process towards emancipation. The study presents a model that theorises these narratives and actions.

探索创业在发展背景下的解放作用

目的探讨语境与解放行为之间的相互关系。环境在塑造创业行动方面很重要，特别是在发展中地区，因为它阐述了其解放作用。同时，解放行为也会影响语境。设计/方法/方法本研究采用归纳式研究设计，运用开放式探索性研究和对话分析，引出25位挑战现状的企业家的故事。通过一个以企业家对政策辩论作出反应的能力为中心的动态过程，观察到解放行动。这些辩论为社会和制度变革引入了个人层面的行动。研究结果提出了一个在社会约束和具有挑战性的背景下作为推动者的企业家行为模型。独创性/价值通过情境嵌入性，本研究捕捉到了企业家在解放行动中与情境重新执行和谈判的能力。该研究旨在捕捉个人的叙述，以增强我们对塑造创业过程走向解放的背景和内在因素的理解。该研究提出了一个模型，将这些叙述和行动理论化。
