“…Much of the literature on employment and disability emphasizes the significance of workplace attitudinal barriers (Blanck et al, 2000;Goss and Goss, 1998); thus, discrimination may push individuals with disabilities toward self-employment (Boylan and Burchardt, 2002). Yet, similar attitudinal barriers may effectively prevent entrepreneurs with disabilities from building relationships with customers, suppliers, funders, and other key stakeholders.…”

This article investigates the effect of disability on progress in the start-up process. One person out of 10 has a disability, yet entrepreneurship literature remains silent on the contributions of this population. This is surprising given that people with disabilities are more likely to be self-employed than the general population. Results from the Panel Study of Entrepreneurial Dynamics show that start-up efforts by nascent entrepreneurs with disabilities are less likely to result in the emergence of a viable organization, indicating that nascent entrepreneurs with disabilities face particular challenges.

Research on employment and disability highlights the significance of social and attitudinal barriers (Blanck et al, 2000;Goss and Goss, 1998), such as discrimination, lack of empathy and social exclusion. These were found to be the main external obstacles these impaired entrepreneurs encountered.…”

This article explores how different challenges potentially inspire those deemed impaired to engage with entrepreneurship and how they overcome such challenges through different adaptive mechanisms. Taking an interpretive perspective, we undertook semi-structured interviews with 13 entrepreneurs with impairments, providing an understanding of the relationship between challenges and the adaptive mechanisms that led to business and personal attainments. Based on our empirical findings, we propose a new challenges-adaptive mechanisms-results (CARE) model contributing to the literature on disabled entrepreneurship among those with impairments and also provide insights into the entrepreneurial endeavours of the disabled population.
