Why do nascent entrepreneurial teams anthropomorphize their emerging focal technologies? Although anthropomorphism is well documented across psychology and human–technology interaction research, its role in entrepreneurial team processes remains poorly understood. Drawing on an abductive analysis of interview and follow-up data from teams participating in the 2004–2007 DARPA Grand Challenges, this paper examines how team members attribute humanlike qualities to autonomous vehicles while working under conditions of extreme technical uncertainty. It shows that anthropomorphism functions as a collective meaning-making practice through which teams cope with unpredictability, coordinate specialized work, sustain persistence, and attach social and emotional significance to technical performance. Rather than treating anthropomorphism as an individual cognitive bias or rhetorical device, the findings position it as an intra-team microprocess that emerges in response to ambiguity, embodied interaction, and resultant performance. It further identifies technical expertise as a boundary condition, showing that anthropomorphizing wanes as uncertainty is reduced and system-related understanding increases. By theorizing anthropomorphism as a team-level mechanism for organizing action and meaning, this study contributes to entrepreneurship research on early-stage team and venture development, and advances understanding of how focal technologies shape collective dynamics.

为什么新兴的创业团队会将他们新兴的焦点技术拟人化？虽然拟人化在心理学和人类技术互动研究中有很好的记录，但它在创业团队过程中的作用仍然知之甚少。通过对2004-2007年DARPA大挑战赛参赛团队的访谈和后续数据进行溯因分析，本文研究了团队成员如何在极端技术不确定性的条件下为自动驾驶汽车赋予类似人类的品质。它表明，拟人化作为一种集体意义创造实践，通过这种实践，团队应对不可预测性，协调专业工作，保持持久性，并将社会和情感意义附加到技术绩效中。与将拟人化视为个人认知偏见或修辞手段不同，研究结果将其定位为团队内部的微过程，这种微过程是对模糊性、具体化互动和最终表现的反应。它进一步将技术专长确定为边界条件，表明人格化随着不确定性的减少和系统相关理解的增加而减弱。通过将拟人化理论化为一种团队层面的组织行动和意义机制，本研究有助于对早期团队和风险发展的创业研究，并促进对焦点技术如何塑造集体动力的理解。

Back and here again: Heresy and the search for a philosophical entrepreneurship 再回到这里：异端和对哲学企业家精神的探索

This paper contributes to the development of a ‘philosophical entrepreneurship’ that goes beyond a concern with theory building. Given that theoretical activity in entrepreneurship is manifestly diverse and pluralistic and not socially integrated and cognitively unified, the discussion in the paper is framed in the context of nomadic theorising as heretical, and specifically in terms of the pilgrimage as the search for enlightenment as we seek to come to terms with the implications of posthumanist inquiry. Drawing on the metaphor of the map and the territory as an organising and communicative device, the core argument of the paper is structured around six key ‘stations’ on the journey, each of which is illustrated by one or more ‘vignettes’ drawn from philosophy, literary criticism, the aesthetics of landscape, imaginative literature and the history of art. Each of these six stations are in turn related to six practices of nomadic theorising, or transpositional research. These work on and through our imaginary worlds and the imaginary forms that its content (images, ideas, representations, forms, terms, values, attitudes, practices and so on) gives rise to and is supported by. As the basis for a philosophical entrepreneurship, this discussion is a reminder that we are experiencing events that are hard to fathom, and that our own stories are embedded and embodied in the world we live in.

本文有助于“哲学创业”的发展，超越了对理论建设的关注。鉴于创业的理论活动显然是多样化和多元化的，而不是社会整合和认知统一的，本文中的讨论是在游牧理论作为异端的背景下进行的，特别是在朝圣作为寻找启蒙的背景下，因为我们试图与后人类主义探究的含义达成协议。利用地图和领土作为组织和交流工具的隐喻，论文的核心论点围绕旅程中的六个关键“站点”进行构建，每个站点都通过一个或多个“小插曲”来说明，这些“小插曲”来自哲学、文学批评、景观美学、想象文学和艺术史。这六个站点中的每一个都依次与游牧理论或换位研究的六种实践有关。这些都是通过我们想象的世界和想象的形式发挥作用的，而这些想象的内容（图像、想法、表现、形式、术语、价值观、态度、实践等等）产生并得到支持。作为哲学创业的基础，这种讨论提醒我们，我们正在经历难以理解的事件，我们自己的故事嵌入并体现在我们生活的世界中。

Researchers and practitioners often perceive accelerators as resource providers, and that entrepreneurs attend accelerator programs as a rite of passage towards success. Guided by social practice theories and drawing on interviews with entrepreneurs and accelerator program managers across several cohorts in one accelerator program, we demonstrate that acceleration is co-constructed through the participation and interaction of accelerator program managers and entrepreneurs. As they rely on unsaid expectations that are not always the same, tensions surface in their enactment. The tension triggers dialectical learning and an expansion of these practices in subsequent performances. We show that expanded practices are part and parcel of dialectical learning, which reconfigures acceleration as an activity system. Our study contributes to accelerator research by highlighting these programs as bundles of practices co-constructed by entrepreneurs and program managers rather than packages of resources. We offer practical recommendations for entrepreneurs, program managers, and program sponsors to engage, design, and evaluate acceleration as an evolving project.

研究人员和实践者通常将加速器视为资源提供者，企业家参加加速器项目是通往成功的必经之路。在社会实践理论的指导下，通过对一个加速器项目中多个群体的企业家和加速器项目经理的访谈，我们证明了加速是通过加速器项目经理和企业家的参与和互动共同构建的。由于它们依赖于不总是相同的未说出口的期望，在它们的实施过程中，紧张局势浮出水面。这种张力触发了辩证学习，并在随后的表演中扩展了这些实践。我们表明，扩展实践是辩证学习的重要组成部分，辩证学习将加速重新配置为一种活动系统。我们的研究通过强调这些项目是由企业家和项目经理共同构建的实践包，而不是资源包，为加速器研究做出了贡献。我们为企业家、项目经理和项目发起人提供实用的建议，以参与、设计和评估作为演进项目的加速。

Isotropy: Knowing when and how to pivot 各向同性：知道何时以及如何转向

Q1 Business, Management and Accounting

Journal of Business Venturing Insights

Pub Date : 2026-01-14 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbvi.2026.e00592

Extant literature has shown that entrepreneurs seeking to pivot often end up in pivot-hells -- pivoting too much (not knowing when to stop), or failing to pivot (simply continuing to persevere until running out of resources), or falling into states of analysis-paralysis. Not knowing when and how to pivot connects with the well-known fact that entrepreneurial settings are fraught with conditions of unknowingness regarding the future, commonly theorized as knowledge problems (KPs). This article develops isotropy as a distinct second order problem underlying all KPs. In other words, isotropy highlights the fact that every KP creates an overabundance of potentially meaningful signals from potential stakeholders but offers no criteria for determining their relevance. Problems of relevance show up in two manifestations: ‘signal’ and ‘stakeholder’ isotropy. Both have important implications for knowing when and how to pivot. By exposing the untenable assumption that KPs can be solved through the gathering of more data and customer feedback, our theorizing of isotropy identifies alternate solutions for relevance generation, such as affordable loss, stakeholder pre-commitments and redemptive choice.

现有文献表明，寻求转向的企业家往往会陷入转向地狱——转向太多（不知道何时停止），或者转向失败（只是继续坚持直到资源耗尽），或者陷入分析瘫痪状态。不知道何时以及如何转向，这与一个众所周知的事实有关，即创业环境中充满了对未来的未知，通常被理论化为知识问题（knowledge problem, KPs）。本文发展各向同性作为一个独特的二阶问题下的所有kp。换句话说，各向同性强调了这样一个事实，即每个KP都从潜在的利益相关者那里创造了过多的潜在有意义的信号，但没有提供确定其相关性的标准。相关性问题表现为两种表现：“信号”和“利益相关者”各向同性。两者都对了解何时以及如何转向具有重要意义。通过揭示KPs可以通过收集更多数据和客户反馈来解决的站不住脚的假设，我们的各向同性理论确定了相关性生成的替代解决方案，例如可承受的损失、利益相关者预承诺和赎回选择。

From selection to Circularity: How Stakeholder Co-creation transforms incubation 从选择到循环：利益相关者共同创造如何转变孵化

Q1 Business, Management and Accounting

This study examines how stakeholder influence, particularly donor mandates for circular economy integration, transforms entrepreneurial incubation processes.

Through participatory action research in a Jordanian incubator across two cohorts over 24 months, we investigated how circular economy principles reshape conventional incubation practices. The research compared Cohort 1, operating under standard procedures, with Cohort 2, which implemented stakeholder-driven modifications. Data collection involved reflexive journals, focus groups, and staff interviews, analyzed through reflexive thematic analysis. Four key interventions emerged: revised recruitment emphasizing entrepreneurial traits like bricolage and alertness; broadened opportunity scope beyond predetermined waste sectors; participant-led team formation; and project-based training incorporating circular economy tools.

The findings reveal incubation as a negotiated, multi-stakeholder process where donor goals, entrepreneur needs, and organizational priorities intersect. Theoretical contributions extend stakeholder and process theories by demonstrating how sustainability mandates function as institutional logics altering incubator operations.

Practical implications suggest incubators should screen for circular-oriented traits, implement experiential training, and construct circular economy ecosystems through strategic partnerships. The study establishes circular incubation as a distinct paradigm requiring new selection criteria and performance metrics.

本研究考察了利益相关者的影响，特别是捐助者对循环经济一体化的授权，如何改变创业孵化过程。通过参与行动研究在约旦孵化器跨越两个队列超过24个月，我们调查了循环经济原则如何重塑传统的孵化实践。该研究将在标准程序下操作的队列1与实施利益相关者驱动修改的队列2进行了比较。数据收集涉及反身性期刊、焦点小组和员工访谈，通过反身性专题分析进行分析。出现了四个关键的干预措施：修订招聘，强调拼凑和机警等企业家特质；扩大废物界别以外的机会范围；参与者主导的团队组建；以及结合循环经济工具的项目培训。研究结果表明，孵化是一个多方利益相关者协商的过程，在这个过程中，捐助者的目标、企业家的需求和组织的优先事项相互交叉。理论贡献通过展示可持续性任务如何作为改变孵化器运营的制度逻辑发挥作用，扩展了利益相关者和过程理论。实践启示：孵化器应筛选循环导向特征，实施体验式培训，并通过战略合作伙伴关系构建循环经济生态系统。该研究建立了循环孵化作为一个独特的范例，需要新的选择标准和性能指标。

Building civic capacity through enterprise: Self-employment’s association with who volunteers—and how much 通过企业建设公民能力：个体经营者与志愿者的关系——以及志愿者的数量

Guided by the civic voluntarism model, we argue that self-employment aligns with participation channels—resources/capacity via temporal autonomy and recruitment/opportunity via local embeddedness—yielding domain-specific patterns of civic engagement. Using the 2017 CPS Civic Engagement and Volunteering Supplement and propensity score matching with design-consistent inference, we examine whether self-employment is associated with different volunteering behaviors than wage and salary work. Associations concentrate on two margins: higher participation in civic/political and sports/recreation activities, and greater intensity among participants in health-related and religious activities. Scope conditions are consistent with the mechanisms: the association with environmental volunteering is stronger at older ages, and the association with sports/recreation volunteering is stronger among women. The key insight is that self-employment aligns with CVM channels—through temporal autonomy and local embeddedness—yielding greater entry where daytime coordination matters and greater sustained involvement where reputational ties bind; all estimates are interpreted as associations, not causal effects.

在公民自愿主义模型的指导下，我们认为自营职业与参与渠道——通过时间自治的资源/能力和通过本地嵌入的招聘/机会——相一致，从而产生特定领域的公民参与模式。使用2017年CPS公民参与和志愿服务补充和倾向得分匹配设计一致性推理，我们检验了自主创业是否与不同的志愿服务行为相关联，而不是工资和薪水工作。协会集中于两个方面：更多地参与公民/政治和体育/娱乐活动，以及更多地参与与健康有关的活动和宗教活动。范围条件与机制一致：年龄较大的人与环境志愿服务的联系更强，女性与体育/娱乐志愿服务的联系更强。关键的洞察力是，自营职业与CVM渠道保持一致——通过时间自治和本地嵌入——在白天协调重要的地方产生更多的进入，在声誉关系紧密的地方产生更大的持续参与；所有的估计都被解释为关联，而不是因果关系。

Cascading failure: How legitimacy unravels in nascent industries 级联失败：新兴行业的合法性如何瓦解

Emerging industries depend on legitimacy, the collective perception that a new sector is appropriate, credible, and desirable enough to attract resources and grow. While prior research emphasizes legitimacy building, far less is known about how legitimacy collapses in nascent sectors. Studies that do examine legitimacy collapse have largely focused on established industries, leaving its dynamics in emerging fields underexplored. Drawing on a cognitive and institutional entrepreneurship perspective, this article theorizes the process of legitimacy collapse, identifying five triggers of collapse: hype and unmet expectations, technological failures, ethical controversies, regulatory crackdowns, and economic downturn. Using illustrative cases, we show how these triggers reshape media narratives and cognitive frames, producing negative spillovers across ventures. Legitimacy loss can stall or dissolve entire industries, though in some cases it prompts institutional strengthening. We propose a multi-dimensional view of legitimacy collapse (cognitive, pragmatic, moral, and socio-political) that highlights cross-dimensional cascades and the role of entrepreneurial agency in mitigating the collapse. The key insight of our study is that legitimacy in emerging industries can rapidly collapse not only because of obvious failures, but also because the very forces that once built legitimacy can unravel it.

新兴产业依赖于合法性，也就是人们普遍认为，一个新的行业是合适的、可信的，并且足以吸引资源并实现增长。虽然先前的研究强调合法性的建立，但对新兴行业的合法性如何崩溃知之甚少。研究合法性崩溃的研究主要集中在成熟的行业，而对新兴领域的动态研究不足。本文从认知和制度创业的角度出发，对合法性崩溃的过程进行了理论化，确定了五个引发合法性崩溃的因素：炒作和未实现的期望、技术失败、伦理争议、监管打击和经济低迷。通过举例说明，我们展示了这些触发因素如何重塑媒体叙事和认知框架，从而在企业之间产生负面溢出效应。合法性的丧失可能会使整个行业停滞或解散，尽管在某些情况下，它会促使制度得到加强。我们提出了合法性崩溃的多维视角（认知、实用、道德和社会政治），强调了跨维度的级联和企业代理在缓解崩溃中的作用。我们研究的关键见解是，新兴行业的合法性可能迅速崩溃，不仅是因为明显的失败，还因为曾经建立合法性的力量可能会破坏它。
