摘要

目的本研究选择从大学毕业生的视角来研究早期创业和创业活动。更具体地说,本研究站在结构与代理整合的立场上,考察大学毕业生企业家如何认识、审视和激活自己的创业机会,以及应对大湾区内建整合的启示。设计/方法/方法本文借鉴了深圳和香港的12个小型(5个固定人员以内)毕业生企业的案例研究。实地调研于2019年开展,包括企业走访、企业文献分析、毕业生企业家访谈等。通过滚雪球抽样访问参与者,在数据收集过程中保证个人隐私和种族。所有毕业生企业的创始人都是五年内的大学毕业生,无论他们最后获得的是什么学位。在本研究中,客观机会被解释为被毕业生企业家认可的外部促成因素。由于缺乏经验,大学生创业者更多地依赖于市场上现有的外部机会,而不是创造新的灵感。然而,缺乏经验并不意味着缺少主体性能动性。相反,创业机会识别的主体性要素是在激活外部使能因素的过程中进行的持续评估,这被解释为创业机会识别过程中的自我评估挑战。这些挑战是他们在决策过程中犹豫、修改和终止的根源,也是当前毕业生创业环境的反映。独创性/价值到目前为止,还没有找到分析大学毕业生创业机会识别的成熟研究文献。此外,尽管越来越多的关注,但在创业机会的测量、创业机会的影响因素和识别过程的子要素方面,文献没有达成一致。这意味着更多的研究需要在不同的背景下进行,子创业群体和深入分析关于创业机会的选定变量,如本文所阐述的那样。

Opportunities and challenges of graduate entrepreneurship in China's Greater Bay Area: cases in Hong Kong and Shenzhen
PurposeThis study chooses to look at early-stage entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial activities from the perspective of university graduates. More specially, this study takes the stance of integrated role of structure and agency, examining how university graduate entrepreneurs recognize, review and activate their entrepreneurial opportunities, and what implications can be drawn in response to the integration of the in-building of the Greater Bay Area (GBA).Design/methodology/approachThis article is drawn upon 12 case studies of small-scaled (within five permanent personnel) graduate enterprises based in Shenzhen and Hong Kong. The fieldwork was conducted in 2019, including enterprise visits, analyzing the enterprises documents and interviewing the graduate entrepreneurs. Participants were accessed through snowball sampling, and personal privacy and ethnicity were guaranteed during data collection. All founders of the graduate enterprises are university graduates within five years, regardless of their last achieved academic degree.FindingsIn this study, the objectivity–opportunity is interpreted as external enablers that are recognized by graduate entrepreneurs. Due to lack of experience, graduate entrepreneurs are more dependent on existing external opportunities in the market, instead of creating new inspirations. However, lack of experience does not mean the subjectivity–agency is missing. Instead, the subjectivity–element of entrepreneurial opportunity identification is the continuous evaluation in activating the external enablers, which is interpreted as self-evaluated challenges during entrepreneurial opportunity identification. These challenges function as sources of hesitation, modification and termination during their decision-making, as well as reflections of the current graduate entrepreneurial environment.Originality/valueBy date, no sophisticated study in literature is found analyzing the entrepreneurial opportunity identification of university graduates. Additionally, regardless of the rising attention, no agreement is achieved in the literature on measurement of entrepreneurial opportunity, influential factors of entrepreneurial opportunity and sub-elements of the identification process. This implies that more research to be conducted in diverse contexts, sub-entrepreneurial groups and in-depth analysis of selected variables regarding entrepreneurial opportunity, as elaborated in this article.
