摘要

本文借鉴对话理论，探讨创业企业家在制定创业成长战略时，如何在对话中共同构建意义。根据对英国大学业务增长计划对此类战略影响的纵向研究，我们确定了对话影响采用或抵制增长战略的意义的方式。来自各种相关声音的“富有成效”对话鼓励创始人在制定未来战略的同时反思当前增长计划的意义。相反，创始人可以使用“退化”对话来阻止他人的声音，以抵制变化并保护现有的意义。我们利用对话理论作为一种概念性工具，来说明企业增长计划如何塑造创始人接受或抵制战略变革的意义，从而影响企业的增长，从而为辩论做出贡献。

Dialogue and the micro-processes of founder meaning-making during growth

This article draws upon dialogic theory to explore how meaning is co-constructed in dialogue as founding entrepreneurs devise strategies for venture growth. Drawing from a longitudinal study of the impact of a UK University business growth programme upon such strategies, we identify ways in which dialogue influences the meanings attributed to the adoption of, or resistance to, growth strategies. ‘Productive’ dialogue emerging from a diverse range of relevant voices encouraged founders to reflect upon the meanings given to current growth initiatives whilst devising future strategies. Conversely, founders could use ‘degenerative’ dialogue to block the voices of others in order to resist change and protect existing meanings. We contribute to debate by utilising dialogic theory as a conceptual tool to illustrate how business growth programmes shape the meanings founders apply to embrace, or resist strategic change, to effect venture growth.
