In: Entrepreneurship and the community. - Cham : Springer. - 9783030236038 - 9783030236045 ; , s. 49-62

Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Crowdfunding research to date has mainly focused on the nature and dynamics characterizing platforms containing creative and innovative ideas, while less attention has been given to subsistence entrepreneurship which centers on social, environmental, and economic concerns. This chapter develops a conceptual framework to examine the sustainable crowdfunding process supporting subsistence entrepreneurship, and then using the framework, the case illustration of Kiva is presented to describe how sustainable crowdfunding facilitates the development of ventures created to alleviate poverty and promote sustainability. The proposed framework combines elements of crowdfunding with aspects of sustainability, as well as subsistence entrepreneurship. Subsistence entrepreneurship includes the actions, activities, and processes undertaken by individuals living in the bottom of the pyramid to promoting sustainability. Crowdfunding acts as a key tool to attract financial means relevant for subsistence entrepreneurship. The chapter concludes with a discussion of key implications that arise from this research.

Family business social responsibility : Is CSR different in family firms?
- 2020
-
In: Emotions and service in the digital age. - Bingley, UK : Emerald Group Publishing Limited. - 9781839092602 - 9781839092596 ; , s. 217-244
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Purpose – This chapter explores the m1eaning and significance of family business social responsibilities (FBSRs) using a metasystem approach, placing emphasis on the role of the family.Design/Methodology/Approach – We employ a revelatory case study to investigate the complexity of family business (corporate) social responsibility. The main case, a German shoe retailer, is supplemented by other case illustrations that provide additional insights into FBSR.Findings – To fully understand social responsibility in a family firm context, we need to include social initiatives that go beyond the actual family business as a unit. This FBSR connects family members outside and inside the business and across generations. As FBSR is formed through individual and familylevel values, its character is idiosyncratic and contrasts the often standardized approaches in widely held firms.Practical Implication – Family businesses need to go beyond the business as such when considering their engagement in social responsibility. Family ownership implies that all social initiatives conducted by family members, regardless if they are involved in the firm or not, are connected. This includes a shared responsibility for what family members do at present and have done in the past.

From Family Embeddedness to Families Embedding in Migrants' Opportunity Development Processes
- 2021
-
In: Academy of Management Annual Meeting Proceedings. - 0065-0668 .- 2151-6561. ; 2021:1
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper examines the roles of family in migrant entrepreneurs’ opportunity development. We employ the opportunity development and family embeddedness for theory building purposes. We conducted a longitudinal inductive case study on four cases of migrant entrepreneurs who have established businesses in Sweden and who have their origins in Lebanon and Syria, Cameroon, and Mexico, documented with 29 interviews and field observations. The paper identifies families embedding occurring by means of three norms of reciprocity and obligations that facilitate the opportunity development process. These norms are fulfilling the expectations of family and the existing family business, regularly interacting with family and the existing family business, and deploying family and business loyalty. These norms are connected to specific sub-processes of opportunity development, namely, the generation of an entrepreneurial idea, shaping an entrepreneurial idea, and defining the (new) family venture offering. By identifying these norms in the opportunity development processes, we theorize that migrant entrepreneurs rely on different family members and the existing family business from the home or host country at different moments of the opportunity development process. Such dynamic creates different norms of reciprocity and obligations for migrant entrepreneurs and their families, which influence the opportunity development.

Guest editorial: Migrant entrepreneurship and the roles of family beyond place and space : towards a family resourcefulness across borders perspective
- 2023
-
In: Journal of Enterprising Communities. - : Emerald Group Publishing Limited. - 1750-6204 .- 1750-6212. ; 17:1, s. 1-15
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The call for papers for this special issue aims to examine how migrant entrepreneurs and their families across borders rely on their places of origin and residence to promote migrant entrepreneurship and shape the entrepreneurial processes, contexts, and outcomes for migrant entrepreneurs, their families, and their communities. In doing so, this editorial and the articles of the special issue advance our knowledge of the role of the family in the countries of origin and residence for migrant entrepreneurship and propose a future research agenda on family resourcefulness across borders. We first discuss the research problem and positioning of this editorial, then briefly review the articles published in this special issue. As an outcome of the discussions, we introduce family resourcefulness across borders as a lens to gain future insights on migrant entrepreneurship. Finally, this editorial discussion presents future research directions.

Social Innovation in Emerging Economies and Developing Countries
- 2020. - 1
-
In: Social Innovation of New Ventures. - Abingdon, UK & New York, USA : Routledge. - 9780367473334 - 9781003034933 ; , s. 3-13
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Many social problems in emerging economies and developing countries remain unsolved. This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book introduces social innovation of ventures in emerging economies and developing countries as a relevant concept and a theoretical field. It presents five conceptual and/or empirical contributions that underpin attributes, processes and practices for building social innovation in the Americas. The book introduces the positive deviance approach to the social innovation domain, Victoria Konovalenko Slettli and Arvind Singhal broaden our understanding of processes nurturing distributed and generative problem-solving via cases in the rural Misiones Province of Argentina and in New Hampshire in USA. It relies on the theoretical perspectives of entrepreneurial resourcefulness and bricolage, which are well established within entrepreneurship research, and linking these concepts with the social innovation domain will further stimulate exchange between related scholarly domains.

The other within as entrepreneurial agency for subsistence entrepreneurs
- 2020
-
In: Entrepreneurship and the community. - Cham : Springer. - 9783030236038 - 9783030236045 ; , s. 7-27
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this chapter, we do a minor close reading of the concept “the other within” (TOW) with the purpose to delineate potential conceptual advancement (MacInnis. J Marketing, 75(4), 136–154; 2018) that TOW as a specific form of entrepreneurial agency for subsistence entrepreneurs bring to entrepreneurship studies in general and subsistence entrepreneurship studies in particular. TOW is here elaborated conceptually upon as an entrepreneurial agency practiced subtly, on-going and insistently in everyday life by entrepreneurs embedded in more constraints (real and/or perceived) relative to the average entrepreneur. Our point of departure is the work of Michel de Certeau (The Practice of Everyday Life, 1988/1984; originally published 1974 as Arts de faire), from which we proceed toward the few other authors who have explicitly used TOW as a concept. After having derived central properties of the proposed conceptual construct (TOW) out of these texts, we sum up the core characteristics for the other within as a specific agency for subsistence entrepreneurs, a form of entrepreneurial agency practiced by necessity due to constraints and limitations imposed upon subsistence entrepreneurs out of their control.

Because family cares : Building engagement for family entrepreneurship through sustainability
- 2021
-
In: Family entrepreneurship. - Cham : Palgrave Macmillan. - 9783030668457 - 9783030668464 ; , s. 315-329
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This chapter delineates how entrepreneurial families can build engagement through entrepreneurship by developing or investing in new sustainable ventures. Sustainable ventures strive for the dignity and long-term survival of our planet. They are out most important since human activities affect the life and balance of social-ecological systems on our planet. We thereby propose that engagement is essential for capturing the opportunities for sustainable venturing that emerge in interactions and connections between individuals, family, business and the earth's biosphere. Such engagement facilitates the development of a business purpose that includes and goes beyond financial profits. We connect insights from the family entrepreneurship literature with those from the sustainability literature and suggest three sustainable venturing processes that can help develop engagement with entrepreneurship in the business family. We call these processes igniting family entrepreneurship through sustainability; interplaying between family entrepreneurship and a purpose for sustainability; and interfacing between family entrepreneurship and sustainability. Through these processes, we argue that sustainability provides an opportunity of involving different generations and branches of a family to build commitment around a purpose, and shared values and principles in new sustainable ventures that stretch beyond the traditional financial goals of the business.
