“…For them, community carries a sense of attachment, belonging, to rural places and implies rights and carries responsibility. In contrast Anderson, Warren and Bensemann (2018) showed how locals' sense of place, disapproved of entrepreneurial action. However, it also seems likely that these effects are partly a consequence of rural places offering a bounded entity for study; as well as a bounded space for interaction (Muller and Korsgaard, 2018).…”

This article considers how we conceive and research rural entrepreneurship. While we argue for the importance of context for understanding entrepreneuring, we also acknowledge that some perceptions of the rural context may be misleading. We critically review how the rural in rural entrepreneurship has been applied. We find how some romancing of the rural has had detrimental effects in theorizing about rural. However, we also find and discuss the interesting range of relationships between the rural and the entrepreneurship presented in the literature. We conclude that a conceptually robust approach can be achieved by examining the nature and extent of entrepreneurial engagement with the contexts that characterize the rural. Finally, we propose methods that will enable us to achieve better understanding of the processes of rural.

“…Entrepreneurial processes are influenced by configurations of history, culture, politics and community interacting within places (Welter, 2011;Anderson, Warren and Bensemann, 2018). Political, social and cultural structures/practices interrelate at national, regional and local levels giving rise to variegated economic landscapes (Hall and Soskice, 2001;Peck and Theodore, 2007).…”

The article examines young people’s attitudes towards enterprise, comparing prosperous and deprived neighbourhoods and two UK cities. Corpus linguistics analysis identified multi-layered attitudes and variations in how place prosperity and city affect attitudes. High interest in enterprise was associated with weaker place attachment and reduced social embeddedness. Young adults from prosperous neighbourhoods delegitimised other’s enterprises; the ‘deprived’ sub-corpus included more fluid notions of enterprise legitimacy. Liverpool accounts contained stronger discursive threads around self-determination; Bradford accounts included greater problematising of entrepreneurship versus employment. An original Multipartite Model of Attitudes to Enterprise is presented consisting of four layers: attitudes to enterprise generally, attitudes legitimising particular forms of enterprise, attitudes to enterprise related to place and attitudes to enterprise related to self. The conclusion explains why policies and research need to be fine-grained and avoid uni-dimensional conceptualisations of attitudes to enterprise, or deterministic arguments relating entrepreneurship to specific types of places or backgrounds.

“…Conception and orientation is important to understand the dynamics of entrepreneurship in any given context [34]. Thus, we understand social, and indeed all, entrepreneurship as socially situated [35]. Our analysis worked around North's distinction between formal and informal institutions, which provides a useful insight into societies in which entrepreneurship takes place [36].…”

“…As such, informal forces shape the standing of an entrepreneur in a society. Regulatory forces on the other hand deal with formal mandatory rules which, if refused, can result in formal sanctions [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35]37]. Together, these institutional forces deal with the implementation of social entrepreneurship.…”

Enablers and Constraints of Female Entrepreneurship in Khyber Pukhtunkhawa, Pakistan: Institutional and Feminist Perspectives

2018

Entrepreneurship is often considered a male-gendered concept, and carries masculine connotations. However, the importance of women entrepreneurs and their contribution to the economy has recently been realized. Nonetheless, there is limited research about female entrepreneurship and social entrepreneurship in the developing countries context. This paper challenges the implicit masculinism of the traditional entrepreneurship research, and aims to explore the enablers and constraints of female social entrepreneurship within the context of a developing country. Our theoretical focus is based on institutional and feminist perspectives, thus developing logic through reconciling predictions from these two competing theories. This integration contributes by offering novel insights about social entrepreneurship. Utilising an interpretive qualitative research approach, data from in-depth interviews with ten female social entrepreneurs of KP, Pakistan were analyzed using thematic analysis. Empirically, we identify and discuss a number of interesting and explanatory themes affecting female entrepreneurship such as "women empowerment, patriarchal culture, role of culture and societal norms, religious extremism and terrorism, forced entrepreneurs, change creators, unique institutional constraints, institutional corruption and security issues". The findings highlight female entrepreneurs' struggle for sustainability, and explain how this occurs. The paper also provides an interesting insight into how context determines social entrepreneurship in KP, Pakistan.
