- W825113684 abstract "ABSTRACTEntrepreneurship is a topic of interest for both researchers and practitioners alike due to its potential impact and economic significance. Although a growing body of research exists on this topic, we argue that a collective understanding of meaning of is still in question. Consequently, our purpose is to understand how social collective makes sense of and assigns meaning to concept of entrepreneurship. Through a qualitative approach, we address differences between non-entrepreneurs and and their interpretations of entrepreneurship. Through this comparison, more robust explanations valuable for theory, practice, and entrepreneurial education are presented.Keywords: entrepreneurship; social representations; role schemas; stereotypesINTRODUCTIONThe planned, intentional nature of means perceptions, objective facts, drive beliefs and attitudes of potential entrepreneurs (Radu & Redien-Collot, 2008: 259). A qualitative lens allows researchers to yield patterns and themes through inductive processes (Patton, 2005), and hence, a qualitative study of shared representations aids in identifying collective sense making about and individuals' corresponding perceptions. Social representations are commonsense knowledge pertaining to general topics such as which continually occur in everyday conversation (Lorenzi-Cioldi & Clemence, 2001). Social representations theory takes an interpretivist viewpoint arguing that reality is socially constructed (Berger & Luckman, 1989). This focus helps create a better understanding of meanings that has for people being studied. While others have made valuable headway on this issue (e.g., Anderson & Stamawska, 2008; and that those perceptions are meaningful and evolving components of social impacting beliefs, attitudes, intentions, stereotypes and role schemas and that these theoretical implications are of paramount importance in furthering understanding. Furthermore, we gain knowledge about, and evidence for, such entrepreneurial viewpoints through our empirical tests. Put simply, these perceptions are knowable and can provide useful information for further research.Researchers have developed varying definitions for entrepreneurship. While our purpose is to review entire realm of published definitions, it is imperative we demonstrate a variety of these, underpinning construct of within literature. Accordingly, some view as the creation of new enterprise (Low & MacMillan, 1988: 141) comprised not of a single task but rather a mix and sequence of tasks related to creating and growing a new business venture (Mueller & Goic, 2003: 619). It is a very pervasive and profoundly human process (Shapero, 1984: 21) capturing premier expression of resilience, creativity, and initiative taking (Shapero, 1984: 39) which is essential to stimulate growth in a growth-conscious world (Baumol, 1968: 71) becoming a critically important goal of American society (Stevenson, Roberts, & Grousbeck, 1985). While seminal works (e.g., Shane and Venkatraman, 2000) see as scholarly examination of goods and services to be discovered, evaluated, and exploited, other prominent articles (e.g., Krueger Reilly, & Carsrud, 2000) shed light in different ways, suggesting entrepreneurship is a way of thinking that emphasizes opportunities over threats (411). Despite these varied viewpoints on subject, it is our belief that practitioners, potential and other individuals in non-academic may also have important views of this concept that could hold relevant influence and potentially different meanings for future research in field. We believe because this particular area of research has potential to explain entrepreneurial actions at various levels, it is vital to maintain a strong connection and understanding of these critical issues. …" @default.
