A Framework for Exploring the Degree of Hybridity in Entrepreneurship

“…Indeed, scholars seek to identify both the nature of social outcomes and indicators of high performance within those outcomes. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 Possible social outcomes include, for example, subjective satisfaction (Kroeger & Weber, 2014); societal progress (Gundry et al, 2011); enhanced human experience (Zahra & Wright, 2016); the preservation of cultural and natural environments (Peredo & Chrisman, 2006); the alleviation of suffering after disasters (Dutta, 2017;Williams & Shepherd, 2016b; reduced poverty (Peredo & Chrisman, 2006); crowdfunding success (Parhankangas & Renko, 2017;Josefy et al, 2016;Calic & Mossakowski, 2016); food, water, shelter, and education (Certo & Miller, 2008); microloan organizations' performance (Wry & Zhao, 2018;Zhao & Lounsbury, 2016); "faith, hope, comfort and salvation" (Pearce et al, 2010); the empowerment of women (Datta & Gailey, 2012;; and both poverty reduction and conflict resolution in Rwanda's entrepreneurial coffee sector (Tobias et al, 2013).

In particular, the studies on institutional/social entrepreneurship [68][69][70][71][72] are providing in-depth analyses on the complexity and importance of institutional dynamics in continuously (re)building sustainability-oriented actions. The first, pioneering studies are exploring how self-organizing networks of motivated actors can trigger long-term processes of sustainability transformations at the level of the organizational field [20].…”

Introduction to the Research Handbook on Entrepreneurship in Emerging Economies

“…Extant research also ignores the 'social' element of much entrepreneurship (e.g. Anggadwita et al, 2017;Ashraf et al, 2019;Rivera-Santos et al, 2015;Zahra and Wright, 2016;Zhao and Lounsbury, 2016), self-employment, community entrepreneurship and microenterprise within developing countries. That is not surprising, given that the very characterization of NE and OE is itself often inconsistent.…”
