“…Caird (1991) shows a similar result: that business owners rated higher in creativity than others who drew relatively fixed salaries. Thus, creativity is highly correlated with entrepreneurship intention (Eid and Trueman, 2002;Yar Hamidi et al, 2008), entrepreneurship (Sternberg and Krauss, 2014) and success in entrepreneurship (Baron and Tang, 2011).…”

Purpose The growing interest in the development of entrepreneurial intention (EI) that has increased the importance of theories that explain and anticipate the tendency among individuals to start a new business. However, most of these theories focus on the relationship between entrepreneurs perceptions and their intention and ignore the cognitive and psychological characteristics that might configure their perceptions. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to integrate the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) with the entrepreneurial event model (EEM) and to extend the combined model to include the personality characteristics of an entrepreneur that might shape the perceptions and intentions. Design/methodology/approach This study uses a sample of 688 senior university students (Emirati nationals, 91.2 per cent and expatriates, 8.8 per cent) and employs positivist research with a quantitative approach, adopting a survey strategy through questionnaires and structural equation modelling. Findings The results demonstrate the relevance and robustness of the suggested combined and extended model in the prediction of intention on the part of senior university students to become entrepreneurs (explained variance=73.3 per cent) based on survey data (2017; n = 688). Originality/value The main contribution of this paper lies not only in the integration of the TPB and the EEM, but also in extending the two theories on which it is based through adding entrepreneurial personality characteristics and an explanation of the mechanism through which entrepreneurial perceptions and EI develop.

“…By shifting attention away from 'entrepreneurship' toward a focus on 'entrepreneuring' we open up space to study how practices and processes unfold over time. A more temporally sensitive understanding of entrepreneurship not only takes us to entrepreneuring (as process) but also to understanding how opportunities are created (Goss & Sadler-Smith, 2014;Sarasvathy, 2001), how timing can be central to creation (Sternberg & Krauss, 2014), and how improvisation and ripeness can contribute to convincing and transformative intervention ( de Certeau, 1984;Greenblatt, 1980). This approach brings advantages in facilitating in-depth attention to dynamics of change; however, it also brings challenges.…”

In our Introduction to this Special Issue on Organizational and Institutional Entrepreneuring, we draw attention to the importance of recognizing how processes and practices of entrepreneuring take place in the context of an already organized world. We particularly draw attention to how such entrepreneuring processes, as imaginative-poetic extensions beyond the present, can occur in a variety of societal, institutional and organizational contexts. Overall we focus on entrepreneuring as the process of creating organization. As a result, we believe that important insights arise by drawing attention to ways of ‘starting’ and ‘actualizing’, rather than conceptualizing entrepreneurship as something that was already ‘started’ in the past. This Special Issue thus helps to provide much-needed scholarship that expands our knowledge base and provides a foundation for future research. We conclude our Introduction with a summary of the articles making up this Special Issue, noting the ways that each article helps to advance our knowledge base about the processes of entrepreneuring.

“…However, we did not want to rehearse innovation as a theme but rather, in the spirit of OS as journal, inquire into the organizational conditions for invention processes that may or may not result in what users would confirm as innovation. There is something more challenging about the elusive concepts of creativity (Moeran & Christensen, 2014; Sternberg & Krauss, 2014), play (Masters, 2008) and entrepreneurship (Jones & Spicer, 2009). Bringing them together in the call, we invited students and scholars of organization to work with at least two of them in their papers.…”
