Effectuation has attracted wide interest and has become an influential branch within the entrepreneurship literature. However, like much of this literature, effectuation research has largely focused on exploring only its bright sides while downplaying or neglecting its not-so-bright sides. This has left critical blind spots on the map of effectuation research. We build on Shepherd's taxonomy of the ‘Triple Ds’—the dark, down, and destructive sides of entrepreneurship—to begin to explore these blind spots and suggest different mechanisms through which the ‘Triple Ds’ of effectuation unfold. Our aim herein is to stimulate further research that expands effectuation beyond its well-trodden paths and sheds light on its neglected dark, down, and destructive sides. This will contribute to a more complete theoretical understanding of effectuation and open up important research avenues that were previously blocked. Moreover, it will also help educators adopt and teach a more balanced and realistic view of effectuation and enable practicing entrepreneurs to make more informed judgments by considering the potential ‘costs’ of applying specific effectuation principles.

实绩引起了广泛的兴趣，并成为创业文献中一个有影响力的分支。然而，就像许多文献一样，效果研究主要集中在探索其光明的一面，而淡化或忽视了其不那么光明的一面。这在有效性研究的地图上留下了严重的盲点。我们以Shepherd的“三重d”分类为基础——企业家精神的黑暗、消极和破坏性——开始探索这些盲点，并提出不同的机制，通过这些机制，“三重d”的效果得以展现。我们在此的目的是激发进一步的研究，将效果扩展到其已被广泛采用的途径之外，并揭示其被忽视的黑暗、阴暗和破坏性的一面。这将有助于对效应的更完整的理论理解，并开辟以前受阻的重要研究途径。此外，它还将帮助教育工作者采用和教授一种更加平衡和现实的效果观，并使实践企业家能够通过考虑应用特定效果原则的潜在“成本”来做出更明智的判断。

How does political identification shape entrepreneurial action in the wake of a major policy shock? We investigate this question using survey data from 294 necessity entrepreneurs following India's 2016 demonetization—a disruptive policy that promoted digital payment technologies as a state-endorsed solution. We examine technology adoption as an entrepreneurial response to institutional uncertainty, focusing on how political identification shapes the mobilization of financial and human capital. We find that entrepreneurs aligned with the ruling party were more likely to activate their resources and adopt digital payment technology. By illustrating how identity-driven cognition reduces perceived ambiguity in opportunity evaluation and promotes entrepreneurs' willingness to act, this study offers new insights into entrepreneurial action under institutional uncertainty.

在重大政策冲击之后，政治认同如何塑造企业家行为？我们使用了印度2016年废钞后294名必需品企业家的调查数据来调查这个问题。废钞是一项颠覆性的政策，促进了数字支付技术作为国家认可的解决方案。我们将技术采用作为企业对制度不确定性的反应进行研究，重点关注政治认同如何影响金融和人力资本的动员。我们发现，与执政党结盟的企业家更有可能激活其资源并采用数字支付技术。本研究通过阐释身份驱动认知如何减少机会评估中的感知模糊性并促进企业家的行动意愿，为制度不确定性下的企业家行动提供了新的见解。

Although empirical research on social entrepreneurs has blossomed recently, many studies have relied on a single-item self-classification measure to identify social entrepreneurs in their samples. Many researchers have warned that this measure may have conceptual, and thus psychometric, weaknesses. Responding to these warnings, we test psychometric properties (i.e., reliability, validity, and objectivity) of this measure using a sample of start-up founders (N = 186). We found neither strong reliability (with retests or peer-ratings) nor validity (convergent or nomological), whereas self-classification was substantially influenced by biases and socially desirable responding above and beyond theoretically relevant antecedents. We discuss how psychometric shortcomings of this frequently used measure might affect what we know about social entrepreneurs and call for the development of more suitable measures.

尽管最近对社会企业家的实证研究蓬勃发展，但许多研究都依赖于单项自我分类措施来识别样本中的社会企业家。许多研究人员警告说，这种测量方法可能存在概念上的缺陷，因而也存在心理测量上的缺陷。针对这些警告，我们使用创业公司创始人样本（N = 186）测试了该测量的心理测量特性（即可靠性、有效性和客观性）。我们既没有发现很强的信度（通过重新测试或同行评分），也没有发现有效度（趋同或符号学），而自我分类在很大程度上受到偏见和超出理论相关前因的社会期望反应的影响。我们讨论了这种经常使用的测量方法的心理测量缺陷如何影响我们对社会企业家的了解，并呼吁开发更合适的测量方法。

From inventory to insight: Reimagining reviews for JBVI 从库存到洞察：重新构想JBVI的评论

Q1 Business, Management and Accounting

Journal of Business Venturing Insights

While literature reviews are essential for organizing knowledge, conventional formats often lag behind the fast-moving debates in entrepreneurship research. Too often descriptive, cautious and lengthy, such reviews rarely spark the conceptual or practical innovation needed in dynamic fields. At the Journal of Business Venturing Insights (JBVI), we will open a space for reimagining the review genre, shifting from inventory to insight. To this end, we introduce four new review formats: critical insight review, underexplored intersections, rapid scoping synthesis, and provocative reviews. These are designed to provoke dialogue, challenge assumptions, and illuminate emerging debates. In doing so, we align JBVI with a broader movement across the social sciences toward agile, forward-looking scholarship where reviews function as intellectual activators rather than static summaries.

虽然文献综述对组织知识至关重要，但在创业研究中，传统格式往往落后于快速发展的辩论。这样的评论往往过于描述性、谨慎和冗长，很少激发动态领域所需的概念或实践创新。在《商业风险洞察杂志》（JBVI）上，我们将为重新构想评论类型开辟一个空间，从盘点转向洞察。为此，我们介绍了四种新的审查形式：批判性洞察力审查，未充分探索的交叉点，快速范围综合和挑衅性审查。它们的目的是激发对话，挑战假设，并阐明正在出现的辩论。在这样做的过程中，我们将JBVI与更广泛的社会科学运动结合起来，朝着敏捷、前瞻性的学术方向发展，在这种学术运动中，评论的作用是智力的激活者，而不是静态的总结。

By adopting a sequential mixed-method research design, this study investigates the dynamics of Entrepreneurial Ecosystems (EEs) and their influence on the financial performance of hospital facilities, as well as the mediating role of innovation. The analysis is focused on the Italian context and is structured around three interrelated research phases that integrate qualitative and quantitative methodologies. Main findings suggest that stronger EEs enhance the financial performance of Italian private healthcare organisations by fostering access to resources and collaboration. Besides, innovation has a nuanced mediating effect: while R&D investments support long-term innovation, tangible outputs such as patents are crucial for generating positive financial returns. As one of the first studies linking EEs to financial outcomes in healthcare, the paper highlights the distinct roles of innovation inputs and outputs. These findings offer insights into the complex mechanisms through which EEs influence financial performance, supporting strategic policy and management decisions.

本研究采用序贯混合方法研究设计，探讨创业生态系统的动态及其对医院设施财务绩效的影响，以及创新的中介作用。分析的重点是意大利的背景，并围绕三个相互关联的研究阶段，整合定性和定量方法。主要研究结果表明，更强的EEs通过促进获得资源和合作来提高意大利私人医疗保健组织的财务绩效。此外，创新具有微妙的中介效应：研发投资支持长期创新，而专利等有形产出对于产生积极的财务回报至关重要。作为第一批将电子产品与医疗保健财务结果联系起来的研究之一，本文强调了创新投入和产出的独特作用。这些发现为企业环境评估影响财务绩效、支持战略政策和管理决策的复杂机制提供了见解。

Cultivating the ecosystem: How social exchange sows the seeds of entrepreneurial contributions 培育生态系统：社会交换如何播下创业贡献的种子

Q1 Business, Management and Accounting

Journal of Business Venturing Insights

Entrepreneurs benefit significantly from resources within their entrepreneurial ecosystems, but under what conditions do they decide to contribute back (a mechanism called downward causation) and thus revitalize the ecosystem they originated from? Drawing on social exchange theory, we develop a set of drivers of such contribution behaviors and test their influence through a metric-conjoint experiment involving 234 entrepreneurs. Our findings confirm the impact of social exchange theory constructs on entrepreneurs' contribution behaviors and highlight the moderating effects of personal traits—in particular, self-interest and other-orientation—on these dynamics. The key insight of our study is that social exchange structures and entrepreneurs’ relational contexts shape contribution behaviors that underlie the microfoundational dynamics of ecosystem development. This investigation underscores the importance of social structures within entrepreneurial ecosystems and enhances our understanding of the micro-level mechanisms that sustain ecosystem health and development. Furthermore, it offers practical insights that transcend traditional policy approaches, focusing on tailored strategies for cultivating entrepreneur-centered ecosystems.

企业家从其创业生态系统内的资源中获得了巨大的收益，但在什么条件下，他们决定回馈（一种称为向下因果关系的机制），从而振兴他们所处的生态系统？利用社会交换理论，我们开发了一套这种贡献行为的驱动因素，并通过涉及234名企业家的度量联合实验来测试它们的影响。我们的研究结果证实了社会交换理论对企业家贡献行为的影响，并强调了个人特质（特别是自利和他人取向）对这些动态的调节作用。我们研究的关键观点是，社会交换结构和企业家的关系背景塑造了生态系统发展微观基础动态的贡献行为。这项研究强调了创业生态系统中社会结构的重要性，并增强了我们对维持生态系统健康和发展的微观机制的理解。此外，它还提供了超越传统政策方法的实用见解，专注于培养以企业家为中心的生态系统的量身定制战略。

The effect of maker entrepreneur's agency and communion language on stakeholder engagement 创客企业家代理和共融语言对利益相关者参与的影响

Q1 Business, Management and Accounting

Journal of Business Venturing Insights

A growing area of interest in the entrepreneurship literature examines the communal spaces where maker entrepreneurs interact, create, and sell their novel artifacts. However, we know surprisingly little about how these individuals communicate their entrepreneurial endeavors to their local community, and how this communication affects key stakeholder engagement. Using a unique social media dataset of 48 maker entrepreneurs who participated in a community-based event, we find support for our theorizing. Our results reveal a negative relationship between agentic language and online stakeholder engagement, whereas communal language is positively related to stakeholder engagement. Interestingly, the negative relationship between agentic language and online stakeholder engagement is stronger for local maker entrepreneurs. Supplemental interviews with maker entrepreneurs provide additional insights into their feedback-seeking behaviors and networking within the maker community.

在创业文献中，越来越多的人对创客企业家互动、创造和销售他们的新产品的公共空间感兴趣。然而，对于这些人如何将他们的创业努力传达给当地社区，以及这种沟通如何影响关键利益相关者的参与，我们知之甚少。使用一个独特的社交媒体数据集，48个创客企业家参加了一个以社区为基础的活动，我们发现支持我们的理论。我们的研究结果揭示了代理语言与在线利益相关者参与之间的负相关关系，而公共语言与利益相关者参与呈正相关。有趣的是，代理语言与在线利益相关者参与之间的负相关关系在本地创客企业家中更为强烈。对创客企业家的补充访谈提供了对他们寻求反馈行为和创客社区网络的额外见解。

From emergency relief to empowerment: Transitioning government-led social entrepreneurship practices to support Ukrainian refugees 从紧急救济到赋权：过渡政府主导的社会创业实践，以支持乌克兰难民

This rapid response paper seeks to support Sanctuary Ukraine (SU), a municipality-led initiative that has augmented its traditional governmental work with social entrepreneurship practices to provide services for Ukrainian refugees. SU initially focused on emergency reception and housing services with the support of external NGOs and volunteer groups. However, as the Russia-Ukraine war persists well into 2025—and with it the prolonged displacement of Ukrainian residents—SU has increasingly shifted its focus toward activities aimed at empowering refugees over the long term. We identify three problems that have emerged during this transition, and drawing on existing evidence in the academic literature, we offer concrete recommendations for adapting SU's activities (taking a translational research approach). First, we propose strategies for nurturing community collaboration toward common goals to mitigate competition and conflict that can arise within a fragmented refugee community. Second, we show how refugee identity narratives can be grounded in a sense of personal value and belonging to foster commitment to integration among refugees who feel caught between repatriation and settling in the host country. Lastly, we suggest ways in which institutional structures and processes can be leveraged to shelter refugees from the debilitating effects of prolonged and indeterminate uncertainty.

这份快速反应文件旨在支持“乌克兰避难所”（Sanctuary Ukraine，简称SU），这是一项由市政府牵头的倡议，通过社会企业实践来增强其传统的政府工作，为乌克兰难民提供服务。社联最初的重点是在外部非政府组织和志愿团体的支持下提供紧急接待和住房服务。然而，随着俄乌战争持续到2025年，随之而来的是乌克兰居民的长期流离失所，苏越来越多地将重点转向旨在长期赋予难民权力的活动。我们确定了在这一转变过程中出现的三个问题，并根据学术文献中的现有证据，我们提供了适应SU活动的具体建议（采用转化研究方法）。首先，我们提出了促进社区合作的策略，以实现共同目标，以减轻分散的难民社区中可能出现的竞争和冲突。其次，我们展示了难民身份叙事如何以个人价值和归属感为基础，以促进在遣返和在东道国定居之间感到进退两难的难民融入社会的承诺。最后，我们建议利用体制结构和进程的方法，使难民免受长期和不确定的不确定性的削弱影响。

The paradox of entrepreneurial cities: How business venturing inflates housing prices in China’s Silicon Valley 创业城市的悖论：商业风险如何推高中国硅谷的房价

Promoting entrepreneurship has become a quintessential objective for cities aiming to achieve sustainable economic growth. However, a critical question remains unexamined: What extra costs do residents have to pay for living in an entrepreneurial city? We address this question by examining the impact of venture capital (VC)-backed entrepreneurship on housing prices in Hangzhou. VC investments not only offer financial support for high-growth startups but also boost market confidence for the locations where VC-backed startups are concentrated. From 2013 to 2019, a total of 3,101 Hangzhou-based startups secured VC investments, positioning the city as one of China's most entrepreneurial hubs. To address the endogeneity issue, we construct an instrument variable (IV) grounded in startups' alignment with government-prioritized strategic sectors and find that 1 % increase in the scale of startup clusters can inflate the price of proximate housing properties by 0.0434 %. Further, three mechanisms are identified behind this phenomenon, including increased housing demand, innovation-induced land premiums, and capital agglomeration effects. The key insight of our study is that, beyond creating economic gains, the clustering of VC-backed startups paradoxically inflates nearby housing prices, ringing an alarm for tech-led gentrification. This calls for policy interventions to balance innovation growth with housing affordability in entrepreneurial cities.

促进创业已成为城市实现可持续经济增长的重要目标。然而，一个关键的问题仍未得到研究：在一个创业型城市生活，居民需要支付哪些额外成本？我们通过考察风险投资（VC）支持的创业对杭州房价的影响来解决这个问题。风险投资不仅为高增长的初创企业提供资金支持，而且还增强了风险投资支持的初创企业集中的地区的市场信心。从2013年到2019年，共有3101家杭州创业公司获得了风险投资，使杭州成为中国最具创业精神的城市之一。为了解决内生性问题，我们构建了一个基于创业公司与政府优先战略部门的一致性的工具变量（IV），并发现创业集群规模增加1%可以使附近住房价格上涨0.0434%。此外，在这一现象背后还发现了三种机制，包括住房需求增加、创新引发的土地溢价和资本集聚效应。我们研究的关键观点是，除了创造经济收益之外，风投支持的初创企业的聚集反而推高了附近的房价，为科技主导的中产阶级化敲响了警钟。这就需要政策干预来平衡创新增长和创业城市的住房负担能力。
