“…We employed a constant comparative approach to data analysis (Silverman 2005), with descriptive themes iteratively emerging from the data. We considered the themes in relation to the existing literature, so allowing the researchers to reflect constantly on the links between the data and the literature, which is an approach that scholars have previously used (McKeever et al 2014). Although Jack and Anderson (2002) assert that in-depth qualitative research can lack generalizability, in the context of this study it is appropriate to identify new insights about the practice of entrepreneurial migrants engaging in transnational entrepreneurship.…”

“…The main aim is to demonstrate the potential of animatorship and practices of animation for catalysing rural and community entrepreneurship, that is, provoking (Berglund, Gaddefors, and Lindgren 2016) others to be entrepreneurial and sponsoring, channelling or promoting their entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship is a socially situated and influenced practice (McKeever, Anderson, and Jack 2014), strongly influenced by context (Korsgaard, Ferguson, and Gaddefors 2015b). Moreover, entrepreneurship has moral legitimacy (Kibler and Kautonen 2016).…”

This paper introduces and discusses the concept of animatorship in relation to rural enterprise and development. At its simplest level, animatorship is the art of animating others to achieve their objectives. We develop and apply this concept to understanding community development and community enterprise, with a specific emphasis on rural communities. We present a descriptive, conceptual study of a new concept i.e. animation in the context of entrepreneurship. The fieldwork for this paper took the form of structured face-to-face interviews with community development workers in November-January 2015/2016. These workers actively stimulate, motivate and inspire others and orchestrate situations and people to bring about change through others, not merely doing things for them. They build environments and relationships in which people grow, directing and focusing energies to develop and empower people's emotional and social lives and relationships through patient, open listening and group conversation.

“…We also augment their notion of knowledge spillovers and institutional capacity to include social capital, which has been argued to be essential in promoting learning (or transmitting knowledge) within regions by supporting openness to new ideas, interactions and trust (Malecki 2012;McKeever, Anderson and Jack 2014;Goetz and Han 2015). Detailed controls for the strength of the local or regional economies are used.…”

County-level location patterns of INC5000 companies provide one map of American entrepreneurship and innovativeness, and understanding the local factors associated with these firms' emergence is important for stimulating regional economic growth and innovation. We draw on the knowledge spillover theory of entrepreneurship to motivate our regression model, and augment this theory with additional regional features that have been found to be important in the firm-location literature. Zero-inflated negative binomial regressions indicate that these firms exist in counties with larger average establishment size, higher educational attainment, and more natural amenities. Income growth, a mix of higher-paying industries, and more banks per capita are associated with a smaller presence of these types of firms, all else equal. We conclude that the local conditions favoring high growth firms are likely to be different from those favoring new firms in general, and that these conditions differ significantly in urban and rural areas and by industrial sectors.
