Abstract

Entrepreneurship has emerged as a key element for experimentation and niche innovation in sustainability transitions. Yet, its contributions beyond this initial stage and the multi-pronged role that entrepreneurs can play in transformation processes remain elusive. In response, we conceptualize and empirically illustrate how entrepreneurs can contribute to innovations within firms and to city-wide processes of change. With insights from small- and medium-sized enterprises in European and North American cities, we develop a framework encompassing eight intervention types through which entrepreneurs shape urban sustainability transformations. We propose avenues for future research to better understand the distributed role of entrepreneurship and how it can contribute to shaping and accelerating change toward sustainability across integrated levels of urban transformations.

将企业家精神的潜力概念化,以塑造城市可持续性转型
创业已成为可持续转型中实验和利基创新的关键要素。然而,创业在这一初始阶段之外的贡献以及创业者在转型过程中可以发挥的多管齐下的作用仍然难以捉摸。为此,我们从概念和实证角度阐述了企业家如何促进企业内部创新和整个城市的变革进程。通过对欧洲和北美城市中小型企业的深入了解,我们建立了一个包含八种干预类型的框架,企业家可通过这些干预类型塑造城市可持续性转型。我们提出了未来研究的途径,以更好地理解创业的分布式作用,以及创业如何在城市转型的综合层面上促进形成和加速可持续发展的变革。
