Abstract
In recent publications, entrepreneurship researchers have begun to note the changing environments underrepresented racial minority (URM) entrepreneurs face in the modern world (Bates et al. , 2022; Peterson and Crittenden, 2020). We build upon these extant studies by reconceptualizing the URM entrepreneur by noting (a) their historical role as wealth creators in the formation of the United States, (b) their approaches to entrepreneurship, which includes cultural empowerment as an outcome, and (c) their distinctive voices as business owners that manage to survive, and even thrive, despite the institutional and environmental barriers they face as racial minorities. Unique to this study is the deconstruction of the URM entrepreneur (Ogbor, 2000) by URM academics, who have themselves also experienced racial inequities. Thus, we are able to reveal new insights about the URM entrepreneur that have previously not been addressed by other researchers and expose research gaps that we encourage addressing by the academy. This analysis
在最近的出版物中,创业研究人员已经开始注意到现代世界中未被充分代表的少数种族(URM)企业家面临的不断变化的环境(Bates et al., 2022;Peterson and Crittenden, 2020)。我们在这些现有研究的基础上,通过以下方式重新定义URM企业家:(a)他们在美国形成过程中作为财富创造者的历史角色,(b)他们的创业方法,其中包括作为结果的文化赋权,以及(c)他们作为企业主的独特声音,尽管他们作为少数民族面临制度和环境障碍,但他们仍然能够生存,甚至茁壮成长。这项研究的独特之处在于URM学者对URM企业家的解构(Ogbor, 2000),他们自己也经历过种族不平等。因此,我们能够揭示关于URM企业家的新见解,这些见解以前没有被其他研究人员解决,并暴露出我们鼓励学术界解决的研究空白。这一分析
