“…Entrepreneurship can be practiced as either a team or solo endeavor, and recent scholarship argues that contextual factors play a role in influencing whether members of a community choose to practice entrepreneurship alone or within a team (Tolbert & Coles, 2018). We suggest that income distribution is one major contextual factor determining whether entrepreneurship in a community is team driven.…”

“…Another potential area of study could examine whether this 'creative-destructive' cycle of entrepreneurship occurs equally in the formal and informal markets (Bruton, Sutter, & Lenz, 2021;Webb et al, 2009). Overall, given that entrepreneurship is increasingly becoming institutionalized in societal culture (Carlos & Hiatt, 2022;Caliskan & Lounsbury, 2021) and organizational practices (Tolbert & Coles, 2018), understanding both the antecedents and long-and short-term effects of entrepreneurship, as well as the way it is institutionalized as a practice, is particularly important.…”

Although economic and entrepreneurship scholars have argued that high income inequality has a positive impact on entrepreneurship by increasing the incentives for high quality human capital to take entrepreneurial risk and by enabling talented entrepreneurs to accumulate and reinvest capital into new businesses, we suggest that the relationship between economic inequality and entrepreneurship may be more complex than initially indicated in light of recent research on the topic of social trust and entrepreneurship. We propose that income inequality is likely to have a curvilinear effect on entrepreneurial activity. Although moderate levels of inequality can increase entrepreneurial activity, very high levels of inequality will begin to reduce rates of entrepreneurship due to diminished generalized social trust in the community. Lower generalized social trust decreases the sharing of information and resources leading to fewer entrepreneurial opportunities, and as a result, lower levels of entrepreneurship.

“…In order to understand how audiences engage with theatre as an institution, I argue that we first need to consider the wider practices of performance-making, producing, criticism, and scholarship that collectively support the theatre industry, in the same way that the practices of journalism (Eide & Siøvaag 2016) or 'entrepreneurship' (Tolbert & Coles 2018) might be considered an institution. Yet to adopt Rogers' analysis is also to understand that this is likely not what the majority of the theatre-going public imagine when the term 'theatre institution' is used.…”

This article proposes a definition and terminology for identifying and analysing a concept of institutional persona in relation to theatre. The essay posits the theatre institution as an example of a ‘composite persona’, whereby cultural value is produced through the interplay between theatre as building, theatre as organisation, and theatre as event. Using the case-study of Bristol Old Vic, I examine how executives and practitioners involved in a specific historic theatre ensured its post-war survival in the 1940s by connecting the prestigious heritage of a local landmark with the national reputation of two London-based organisations. I suggest that theatre institutions offer a particularly rich investigative ground for the application of persona study theory in their need to mobilise individual and organisational personas for the purposes of reinventing a ‘good story’ and brand over time.

“…They define the field of entrepreneurship as the scholarly examination of these processes (Shane & Venkataraman, 2000, p. 218). The understanding of entrepreneurship proposed by Shane and Venkataraman is still commonly referred to and recognized by current researchers in different areas of entrepreneurship research (Reuber et al, 2018;Su et al, 2017;Tolbert & Coles, 2018).…”

Background. The literature on entrepreneurship indicates the lack of a strong theoretical basis to fully describe and explain this extremely dynamic and future-oriented area. The classic approaches to the organization and management are not always sufficient to solve some wicked problems in the area, which require the interdisciplinary synthesis of various sciences combined with the experience of practice, and often quite new conceptual frameworks. Research aims. The purpose of this paper is to describe and present the result of the analysis of the relatively new approach to entrepreneurship, which derives from design sciences. Methodology. The discussion undertaken in the paper is theoretical and methodological, and primarily based on the method of deduction, which referred to the critical literature study has allowed to achieve the research goals. Key findings. The paper presents the relatively new approach to entrepreneurship, which derives from design sciences and designers' practice. However, it is being successfully adopted within organization and management sciences to solve open, complex and unambiguous management problems, especially where entrepreneurship and innovation are required. As the result of the reasoning process, the basic rules of design-led approach to entrepreneurship have been identified. They constitute the basis for a conceptual framework of the presented approach.
