The Entrepreneurial Story and its Implications for Research
(2022) In Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice 46(6). p.1443-1468- Abstract
- Research is not merely report-writing; it also involves elements of storytelling. In this essay, we reflect on two narrative archetypes in entrepreneurship research: the stories of entrepre- neurship as a road to salvation and means to emancipation. We outline a framework to analyze research from a storytelling perspective, apply this framework to identify implicit assumptions and methodological biases in mainstream research, and discuss how a storytelling framework can be used to generate alternative stories. We argue for a more empirically grounded re- search agenda that continues the development of entrepreneurship research into a rich and diverse field.
