Abstract

This article aims to further the rigor and relevance discussion in entrepreneurship studies. It argues that tensions arise due to an adherence to a rigor-as-correspondence perspective, which can be addressed through the advancement of a rigor-as-performativity perspective. Entrepreneurship concepts are tools used to define, represent, and explain entrepreneurial experience, yet how these tools hook onto the world is a question of performance and application rather than unambiguous correspondence. We advocate for a view of rigor and relevance that appreciates the torch-like features of concepts—how they help entrepreneurs deal with the world so that they may fulfil their intentions—whilst retaining an understanding that the future is unknowable and change a constant.

作为镜子和火炬的概念:作为学术表演的严谨性和相关性

本文旨在进一步探讨创业研究的严谨性和相关性。它认为，紧张局势的出现是由于坚持严格作为对应的观点，这可以通过严格作为性能的观点的进步来解决。创业概念是用来定义、表示和解释创业经验的工具，然而这些工具如何与世界挂钩是一个性能和应用的问题，而不是明确的对应。我们提倡一种严谨和相关的观点，欣赏概念的火炬般的特征——它们如何帮助企业家应对世界，使他们能够实现自己的意图——同时保持一种理解，即未来是不可知的，变化是恒定的。
