“…First, we contribute to the literature on the economic effect of corruption (Aidt, 2003;Harbi and Anderson, 2010) by examining the ex-ante impact of perceived corruption on entrepreneurial intentions. Second, we contribute to the literature on entrepreneurial intentions and particularly to the strand investigating the background factors affecting entrepreneurial attitudes, social norms and perceived behavioral control (Kibler, 2012;Liñán and Chen, 2009;Stuetzer et al, 2014;Zapkau et al, 2015;Zhao et al, 2005).…”

In this study, we augment Ajzen's Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) with an institutional embeddedness logic to develop and test a mediated model of the effects of perceived corruption on attitudes, social norms and perceived behavioral control, which in turn determine entrepreneurial intentions. We test our three hypotheses on a sample of 231 aspiring entrepreneurs seeking to start a non-farm business in three rural regions of Bulgaria. In our exploratory case study, we find that corruption perceptions are partially mediated by entrepreneurial attitudes and perceived control, but not by social norms. Corruption perceptions are positively associated with entrepreneurial intentions,

“…Institutions are social formations that represent structure. Indeed, Harbi and Anderson (2010) showed how institutional factors shaped the nature of enterprise in different counties; that is to say, in different social and institutional contexts. It would seem then that entrepreneurially wrought change is in fact socially enacted.…”

“…Interestingly this entrepreneurial role is itself embedded and shaped by particular social and economic frameworks Harbi and Anderson, 2010). Indeed, Emirbayer and Miche (1998) and Emribayer (1997) describe a relational sociology of agency characterised by social ties and cultural discourse.…”

This conceptual paper examines the nature of entrepreneurship in innovation processes in time of crisis. Crisis is a time of heightened uncertainty, manifested as increased ambiguity about what knowledge is available yet necessary for innovation. It is argued here that connecting this diverse knowledge is essential for innovation and that this is a key entrepreneurial process. Whilst this point is established in the literature, there is perhaps a gap in understanding how such knowledge is entrepreneurially applied. In systems-based views of innovation there seems to be an assumption that knowledge synthesis just happens as a natural occurrence. Reviewing and synthesising disparate literatures, this paper argues that stocks of knowledge are not, in themselves, sufficient to produce innovation. Instead, entrepreneurial agency is required to collaborate, connect and to combine these knowledge stocks to produce innovation. The paper contributes to understanding and theory by demonstrating how and why this ‘social’ connecting is a critical element of the entrepreneurial role and a crucial part of innovation.
