Abstract

Until now, the theoretical exploration of informal entrepreneurship's role in driving social innovation has remained largely unaddressed. This study fills this gap by investigating the impact of informal entrepreneurship on social innovation performance through the mediating mechanism of affordable innovation. Using time‐lagged data collected from 264 firms in Vietnam, we find that (1) informal entrepreneurship positively relates to affordable innovation, (2) affordable innovation mediates the relationship between informal entrepreneurship and social innovation performance, and (3) bottom‐of‐the‐pyramid orientation bolsters the relationship between affordable innovation and social innovation performance. These findings contribute to advancing both informal entrepreneurship and social innovation literature.

金字塔底层的社会创新：非正规性和可持续的负担得起的创新的影响

迄今为止，关于非正规创业在推动社会创新中的作用的理论探索在很大程度上仍未得到解决。本研究通过负担得起的创新这一中介机制，探讨了非正规创业对社会创新绩效的影响，从而填补了这一空白。利用从越南 264 家企业收集的时滞数据，我们发现：（1）非正规创业与可负担得起的创新正相关；（2）可负担得起的创新介导了非正规创业与社会创新绩效之间的关系；（3）金字塔底层导向加强了可负担得起的创新与社会创新绩效之间的关系。这些发现有助于推动非正规创业和社会创新文献的发展。
