“…Rural areas get better access, bring public services closer, and open new opportunities for various other social activities if the development in urban areas is fulfilled. The emergence of the category ‘urban’ is in line with the findings in the study on structural exploration of the categories in rural entrepreneurship research by Shrivastava and Kumar Dwivedi ( 2021 ). They identified four major themes namely: Spatial Dimension, Sustainability, Income Generation, and Barriers.…”

Understanding rural context in the social innovation knowledge structure and its sector implementations

The concept of social innovation is increasingly being discussed to pursue sustainable development. New terms and keywords are created to cope with new ideas in various contexts. How these terms are developed in the current structure of knowledge and how we can reinterpret the semantic networks with the empirical context are the primary motivation of this paper. The rural social innovation knowledge structure is constructed to understand the phenomena better and cope with future needs. A multi-methods methodology is applied to construct the knowledge structure with the primary method being topic modeling. The results from topic modeling, co-word analysis, and co-citation are combined to co-construct the knowledge structure. The narratives for the built knowledge structure are then developed in the context of rural social innovation to enhance our understanding. This study found three findings. First, the trend of keywords “community”, “governance”, and “rural” have increased significantly in the field of social innovation. Second, an investigation of the intensity of the topics found six dominant groups of topics, namely actor, business model, natural resources, food security, governance, and urban. Third, the co-word analysis shows that the word innovation is closely related to the terms: sustainable development, social entrepreneurship, social enterprise, rural community, electronic commerce, co-design, and social behavior. The mapping of key terms shows that the structure of the global social innovation research landscape is quite complex. However, it can be broken down into five main parts: objectives, inputs, transformations, outputs, and outcomes.

“…Our empirical taxonomy contributes to both rural enterprise and micro-enterprise literature by providing a set of standardised descriptions helpful to support future research and theorising. These descriptions are based upon local embeddedness (Müller and Korsgaard, 2018; Shrivastava and Dwivedi, 2020) and how alert the RME is to new opportunities (Kirzner, 1979; Tang et al, 2012). By looking at these elements we can understand more clearly how RMEs interact with their environment and opportunities within that environment.…”

“…‘Rural’ is challenging to define (Pato and Teixeira, 2016), its meaning being personal to individuals and their circumstances (Moyes et al, 2014; Shrivastava and Dwivedi, 2020). Furthermore, Gaddefors and Anderson (2018) contend that rural is a socially constructed spatial concept.…”

“…This paper increases understanding about RMEs by establishing a taxonomy based upon their degree of embeddedness (Sofer and Schnell, 2017) within their rural community. It is during the development of this taxonomy that the myth of RME being a positive influence upon the rural economy (McElwee et al, 2018; Moyes et al, 2014; Shrivastava and Dwivedi, 2020) is challenged. This paper contributes to the ongoing discourse about rural entrepreneurship by finding that RMEs are motivated by lifestyle (Finke and Bosworth, 2016; Lyee and Cowling, 2015) ahead of wealth generation and not all RMEs make a positive contribution to their community.…”

This paper develops a taxonomy of rural micro-enterprises based on their level of embeddedness in the rural. Drawing upon 19 in-depth narrative interviews we identify the classifications of ‘bedrock’, ‘anchored’, ‘disembedded’ and ‘perfunctory’ enterprises. This offers a new categorisation of rural micro-enterprises and challenges the notion that all rural micro-enterprises add value to the rural economy. Indeed, ‘disembedded’ rural micro-enterprises may have parasitical tendencies and be negative contributors to rural economic sustainability due to the actions and choices made by their owner-manager(s). Through the creation of an empirically and conceptually grounded taxonomy we reveal a number of important attributes which develop understanding of the nature of rural micro-enterprises and highlight the varied activities of such businesses. The implications of the taxonomy are discussed, and important policy implications are identified.

Purpose This study aims to investigate the influence of social and spatial embeddedness on indigenous rural entrepreneurship in Amazon/Brazil. Rural entrepreneurship has increased in recent years. Some studies have focused on the relevance of spatial embeddedness in understanding this phenomenon, whereas others have highlighted the importance of social embeddedness. Although some scholars have associated both construct dimensions to understand rural entrepreneurship in developed economies, such an association remains scarce when considering both emerging and developing contexts. Design/methodology/approach The strategy was qualitative, using the integrated case study method. The case was the Paiter-Suruí indigenous tribe in the Amazon region, Brazil, recognized for the entrepreneurship of their community. Fourteen indigenous rural entrepreneurs participated in the study. Findings Field data show that entrepreneurs embed themselves in dense social networks that influence their decisions, including those involving the creation of enterprises. In addition, entrepreneurs are deeply embedded in rural territoriality (spatial), impacting how they create and seek to develop their own ventures. Originality/value The study of an empirical context that is still poorly explored has made two main contributions to the social and spatial embeddedness literature. First, evidence shows social influence on spatial embeddedness and vice versa, suggesting the need to integrate both perspectives. Second, this study contributes to the literature on rural entrepreneurship by shedding light on novel strategies for developing such enterprises. In addition, this study emphasizes the relevance of investigating the challenges that hinder rural entrepreneurial development in emerging and developing contexts.
