“…(1) The reading of the literature reveals that individuals can identify entrepreneurial opportunities for several reasons: (a) They possess a certain background encompassing personality traits and cognitive properties. These include self-efficacy, risk-taking, optimism and creativity, prior knowledge and experience (Bandura, 1986;Ajzen, 1987;Hills et al, 1997Hills et al, , 1999Krueger, 2000;Ardichvili et al, 2003;Shane, 2003;Ko and Butler, 2007;Lehner and Kansikas, 2012;Grégoire and Shepherd, 2015). (b) They are part of various social networks (Aldrich and Zimmer, 1986;Allen, 2000;Johannisson, 2000;Ardichvili et al, 2003;Shane, 2003;Ozgen and Baron, 2007;Grégoire and Shepherd, 2015).…”

Aiming to complement and ground the theory of social entrepreneurship opportunity identification, we draw from a database of 2,872 entrepreneurs’ life stories with two main objectives. The first is to provide a comprehensive list and categorization of antecedents of opportunity identification in the context of social entrepreneurship. The second is to demonstrate the systemic interconnections between those and build a model of social entrepreneurship opportunity identification. We review the literature and establish a framework of five high-order key antecedents’ areas (context, background, social networks and interactions, affect, and cognitive process). We then proceed to a five-step empirical triangulation methodology mixing computerized and manual content analysis. We thereby identify 42 antecedents nested into 17 first-level items grouped into the five high-order key antecedents’ areas. Our detailed results shed light on a wide array of previously ignored antecedents and provide more precisions about those that had already been documented elsewhere. Finally, we highlight and explain the relationships between the antecedents, show that they constitute an “opportunity growing ground,” and present a full model of social entrepreneurship opportunity identification based on their interconnections. The context of the social entrepreneur combines stable features regarding access to various resources, a strong geographical identity and history, the encounter of several worlds, all condition or are conditioned by his/her social networks and background. This context is also subject to diverse constraints and institutional barriers that can shape the entrepreneur’s background, her/his experiences, as well as his/her affect specificities. This stable context is at some point hit by elements of change that disrupt this stability, triggering chains of reactions between the various antecedents of opportunity identification.

“…In spite of many calls to study other 'things' (e.g. from Gartner, 1988 to Shane and Venkataraman, 2000), the entrepreneur and his/her characteristics, abilities, motivations, resources and other predispositions remain at the forefront (see Grégoire and Shepherd, 2015).…”

The creation or emergence of a marketable opportunity that promises significant prospects for gain represents the key factor in the entrepreneurial process. The decision to create a new venture often arises from the belief that a unique opportunity has been created or identified. The entrepreneurial opportunity has become widely accepted as a central concept in the field of entrepreneurship research (Shane and Venkataraman, 2000). Opportunities can be conceptualized from different viewpoints, such as the objectivist (
