摘要
本研究探讨了在破坏性危机(特别是 COVID-19)背景下创业的人类和社会动态。它揭示了数字技术是如何促成一种协作代理形式的,我们称之为 "分布式创新"(distributed bricolage)。这些参与者在解决紧急需求这一共同目标的激励下,通过灵活、反应迅速的集体结构,参与设计、破解和生产必要的物品。我们的研究分析了六个不同的、有影响力的团体的倡议,强调了从个人到集体创业机构的转变,强调了分布式网络利用现有资源自我组织和实施创新解决方案的能力。我们深入探讨了各种倡议中的 "make do "态度,将焦点从个人代理转移到能够自我组织并有效运作的分布式行动者网络,从而为创业文献做出了贡献。本研究通过展示创业行动的网络化和社会化性质,扩展了 "bicolage "概念,超越了传统上对个体代理的关注,对数字技术所带来的分布式协作努力有了更全面的理解。
Distributed bricolage – The affordances of digital technologies towards a collaborative entrepreneurial agency response to COVID-19
This study explores the human and social dynamics of entrepreneurship in the context of disruptive crises, specifically COVID-19. It reveals how digital technologies enable a form of collaborative agency, which we term distributed bricolage, characterized by the emergent, voluntary collaboration of heterogeneous actors across global networks. These actors, motivated by a shared goal to address urgent needs, engage in designing, hacking, and producing necessary items through agile and responsive collective structures. Analysing the initiatives of six diverse and impactful groups, our research highlights the transition from individual to collective entrepreneurial agency, underscoring the ability of distributed networks to self-organize and implement innovative solutions with available resources. We contribute to the entrepreneurship literature by delving into the ‘make do’ attitude across initiatives, shifting the spotlight from individual agency to a network of distributed actors, who are capable of self-organizing and operating effectively. This study extends the bricolage concept by showcasing the networked, socialized nature of entrepreneurial action, moving beyond the traditional focus on individual agency to a more inclusive understanding of distributed and collaborative efforts afforded by digital technologies.
