Abstract

Social constructionism as an underlying philosophical approach offers much potential in entrepreneurship research. This chapter introduces social constructionism, explains the underlying philosophy that guides approaches of this nature and highlights prior approaches using a social constructionist frame of reference. The first part of the chapter aims to introduce the reader to this approach to research and explains its value. In the second part the chapter focuses on one particular area of debate in the entrepreneurship domain and provides a constructionist viewpoint. The focus during this part is to explore how entrepreneurial opportunities are currently conceptualized. The chapter unpicks views about entrepreneurial opportunity based on a ‘discovery’ versus ‘creation’ perspective.

社会建构主义与创业机会
社会建构主义作为一种潜在的哲学方法,在创业研究中具有很大的潜力。本章介绍了社会建构主义,解释了指导这种性质的方法的基本哲学,并强调了使用社会建构主义参考框架的先前方法。本章的第一部分旨在向读者介绍这种研究方法并解释其价值。在第二部分,本章聚焦于创业领域的一个特定辩论领域,并提供了一个建构主义的观点。这一部分的重点是探讨创业机会目前是如何概念化的。本章从“发现”和“创造”的角度对创业机会的观点进行了剖析。
