“…Specifically, our proposed conceptual model contributes to the entrepreneurship literature by highlighting the debate about the role of specific entrepreneurial ecosystem conditions that positively influence re-entry into entrepreneurship after a business failure. Our theoretical framework also extended the discussion about the contextual conditions (Welter et al, 2019;Baker & Welter, 2020) and the dynamism of the entrepreneurship process (Guerrero et al, 2020).…”

Previous studies have found a close relationship between exit/failure decisions and entrepreneurial/organisational characteristics. In the same line, entrepreneurship literature has recognised that the context matters in any entrepreneurial process, including "exit," "failure" or "re-entry." This manuscript proposes a conceptual framework to identify the elements of the entrepreneurial ecosystem that foster or impede the re-entry into entrepreneurship after a business failure. By reviewing the accumulation of knowledge, we identified the individual, the organisational, and the contextual conditions that influence the trajectory of an individual who decides to re-enter after a business failure. This manuscript provides a better understanding of the critical role of agents involved in the entrepreneurial ecosystem. A provocative discussion and implications emerge for this study in order to reduce individual barriers and unfavourable social norms towards business failure.

“…Illustrating this, Tuan (1991, p. 684) notes, "(…) warm conversation between friends can make the place itself seem warm; by contrast, malicious speech has the power to destroy a place's reputation and thereby its visibility." Such uses of language are deeply entwined with how entrepreneurs "do contexts" through "bracketing" Weick, Sutcliffe, & Obstfeld, 2005), that is by enacting a definition of the situation through "attending selectively to and acting upon some features of the environment while downplaying or ignoring others" (Baker & Welter, 2020;Powell & Baker, 2014).…”

This article responds to Welter’s (2011) call to pay more attention to the diversity of entrepreneurship in theorizing contexts by examining how places come to be understood as entrepreneurial. We draw briefly and selectively on ideas from a quirky set of disciplines, looking at how topics such as narratives and language, memories of the past, built environments, and constellations of power among groups of people interact to shape the emergence and decline of “everyday entrepreneurship places.” Our discussion illustrates some useful cues our research might draw on to challenge and improve theoretical understanding of place in entrepreneurship.

“…The last one, which can be associated with intuition, was discovered in the present study. In general, it is important that the context of entrepreneurship should be accounted for (Baker and Welter, 2020). As for the contextual incentives, the research literature provides evidence to the impact that the educational programs attended have on their participants' behavior.…”
