“…In addition to everyday practices, scholars who embraced this orientation examined the possibilities of alternative spaces. Specifically, they showed how ongoing activities created "other spaces" (Foucault, 1986) or counter-spaces that temporarily interrupted organizational life by offering possibilities for play, creativity, and new organizational roles (Beyes & Michels, 2011;Dashtipour & Rumens, 2018). "Other spaces" emerged through localizing events, creating cracks in dominant spaces, avoiding categorization, and developing alternative ways of doing.…”

“…For instance, Verduyn (2015) described how the culmination of long hours and strong smells moved entrepreneurs to develop alternative spaces to avoid being "sick to their stomachs." Dashtipour and Rumens (2018) demonstrated how the entrepreneurial efforts of a Swedish anti-racist magazine generated spaces of anxiety that disrupted established orders and led to the magazine's demise. Michels and Steyaert (2017) described how affective atmospheres, or the feel of spaces, emerged from a music ensemble's engagement with unpredictable weather, moods of the musicians, and the urban life of performance sites.…”

The past decade has experienced an increase in the number of studies on organizational space or where work occurs. A number of these studies challenge traditional views of organizational space as a fixed, physical workspace because researchers fail to account for the spatial dynamics that they observe. New technologies, shifting employee-employer relations, and burgeoning expectations of the contemporary workforce blur boundaries between home and work, connect people and things that historically could not be linked, and extend workspaces to nearly everywhere, not just office buildings. Research on these transformations calls for incorporating movement into the physicality of work. Thus, organizational scholars have turned to process studies as ways to examine the dynamic features that create and alter spatial arrangements. However, the rapidly growing work in this area lacks integration and theoretical development. To address these concerns, we review and classify the organizational literature that casts space as a process, that is, dynamically as movements, performances, flows, and changing routines. This review yields five orientations of organizational space scholarship that we label as developing, transitioning, imbricating, becoming, and constituting. We discuss these orientations, examine how they relate to key constructs of organizational space, and show how this work offers opportunities to theorizing about organizations.Within organization and management studies, the research on space has moved from a fringe area to a pivotal concern for organizational theorizing. Organizational space refers to the built environments that emerge from organizational activities, objects, arrangements, and social practices 2 (Beyes & Steyaert, 2012;Cunliffe & Luchman, 2013). This move has ushered in the treatment of space as both enabling and constraining actions rather than functioning as a neutral, stable container (Dale & Burrell, 2008;Taylor & Spicer, 2007). It also crosses vital issues in management studies, for example, how space interfaces with strategic work (Hydle, 2015;Jarzabkowski, Burke, & Spee, 2015;Lancione & Clegg, 2013), how physical arrangements play a role in maintaining institutions (Siebert, Wilson, & Hamilton, 2017), and how new working areas allow employees to implement organizational changes (Kellogg, 2009).Organizational space is pivotal to studies of iden-

“…The result would be products that differed from those provided in the open market – ones with higher quality and that rewarded producers for honoring the brand name of VA. This is an entrepreneurial view that should propel change for the community and alleviate its accompanying anxiety, as proposed by Dashtipour and Rumens (2018).…”

Failed entrepreneurship in a heterotopia: the story of Villa Ahumada

Purpose The heterotopia is frequently portrayed as a third space in organization studies, characterized by its flexibility and receptivity to innovation. Rural entrepreneurship, embodied in the heterotopic space of community-based enterprises (CBEs), is a key concept in emerging economies. Understanding the CBE’s economic and social dynamics is vital for the genesis of entrepreneurship in these spaces, for regional development and for national economies. This paper aims to deep dive into the group dynamics of Villa Ahumada (VA), a well-known subspace located close to the Mexico–USA border, which, despite its market potential, has not been able to support the collectivization required of a CBE. Design/methodology/approach Under a case study design, four deep interviews were conducted, which explore the stories of entrepreneurship in VA and analyze the rich narrative accounts of the participants. Narratives offer opportunities for extending the current conceptualizations of entrepreneurship and its processes. Findings This paper opens a conversation about the negative aspects of heterotopias, especially with regards to entrepreneurship. Much literature has been devoted to the power of rural communities and peasant villages as fertile places for entrepreneurship. They emphasize the role of entrepreneurial culture and governmental support as almost guarantors of entrepreneurial success. This narrative provides one reason for entrepreneurial failure: the deviant heterotopia. Despite government policy that favored collective entrepreneurial efforts, and despite a vibrant underground entrepreneurship culture combined with a valuable brand, entrepreneurship in VA was dead before it started. Originality/value Rural entrepreneurship should be a multidimensional phenomenon focusing upon entrepreneurship, context, group dynamics and social capital; but it has not been interpreted from the perspective of a heterotopia or paratopia.

“…A number of tools, such as daily diaries (e.g., Dashtipour & Rumens, 2018) and ESM (Uy, Foo, & Aguinis, 2010), have been developed to capture within-person affective variance (Brose, Schmiedek, Gerstorf, & Voelkle, 2020). Both approaches involve repeated measurement of the same construct for participants engaged in their daily lives, with a focus on assessing the ways in which different affective variables fluctuate over time (Fisher & To, 2012) or in response to different stimuli (e.g., Foo et al, 2009).…”

Research on the role of affect in the entrepreneurial process has surged over time, resulting in a vibrant field of inquiry. To advance scholarship in this area, we conduct an inductive analysis of 162 published articles, critically analyzing the state of research on affect in entrepreneurship. We develop an organizing framework to capture three major conversations in existing research—affect valence (feelings), discrete emotions, and emotional competencies—and encompass several outcomes studied within each conversation. We find that limited work has been done to explore the antecedents of affect (both feelings and discrete emotions), anticipated affect deserves greater consideration, and affective influence of stakeholders on entrepreneurs remains overlooked. Research on negative affect and emotional competencies also remains scarce in the entrepreneurship literature. Future inquiry would do well to take a multilevel approach to affect, explore affective phenomena over time, and cast light on the role of emotional competencies in the entrepreneurial process. We also spotlight crucial empirical advancements, including big data and artificial intelligence, for affect research going forward.
