“…Most of these discussions are dealing with the creative element of the two activities (Bonnafous-Boucher, Cuir, & Partouche, 2011) and how this creativity is developed in specific environments, for example where there are high levels of uncertainty (Meisiek & Haefliger, 2011). Much less has been said about the fact that both creative artists and entrepreneurs must alter and transgress the operating rules of a field (Brenkert, 2009;Burgelman & Grove, 2007, p. 315;Zhang & Arvey, 2009) so as to change the status quo (Bureau & Komporozos-Athanasiou, 2013;Chell, Hawort, & Brearley, 1991, p. 22). Among artists, this is especially true in the case of ground-breaking or revolutionary new ideas that challenge contemporary conventions and norms (Lindqvist, 2011, p.10).…”

“…Beyond these two examples, entrepreneurs develop world views which always involve some form of ideology that could potentially challenge traditional representations and more generally systems that are taken for granted. Entrepreneurs tend to alter and transgress the operating rules of an industry (Brenkert, 2009;Burgelman & Grove, 2007, p. 315;Zhang & Arvey, 2009) so as to challenge and change the status quo (Chell et al, 1991;Dyer, Gregersen, & Christensen, 2011, p. 22). Indeed, entrepreneurship can be seen as an agent of social change which involves the transformation, the reinvention of the boundaries structuring our world (Steyaert & Hjorth, 2007, p. 1).…”

Summary: This paper proposes subversion and resistance as two fundamental aspects of entrepreneurship and the entrepreneurial process. Taking a start in the established notion of subversive activities in art, we outline their main expressions and consequences in the entrepreneurship setting. We further address the accompanying issue of resistance, and define and illustrate its role in art and the introduction of novel business ideas. Ultimately arriving at the concept of artful entrepreneurship, we suggest the analysis of subversion and resistance as a promising but hitherto neglected avenue of research in entrepreneurship studies.Scandinavian Journal of Management, version non définitive, à paraître.

“…The relationship between entrepreneurship and prior ethical or unethical behaviour was examined in a recent study (Zhang & Arvey, 2009). The results of their investigation of 60 entrepreneurs and 105 managers indicate that modest versus severe rule breaking as an adolescent relates to being an entrepreneur as an adult (Zhang & Arvey, 2009).…”

“…The results of their investigation of 60 entrepreneurs and 105 managers indicate that modest versus severe rule breaking as an adolescent relates to being an entrepreneur as an adult (Zhang & Arvey, 2009). This preliminary research, combined with work on entrepreneurial activity as rule breaking, represents an area that warrants further empirical investigation.…”

An overview of empirical research on ethics in entrepreneurial firms within the United States

ABSTRACT. Scholars recognise that entrepreneurs may encounter different ethical issues and pressures than managers in larger corporations. This has fostered empirical research aimed at assessing ethics in entrepreneurial settings in the United States. Our emphasis on empirical research with little attention paid to purely conceptual papers allows us to highlight the narrow definition of entrepreneurship used in the US and how US researchers distinguish between entrepreneurship and other types of small businesses. This differs greatly from many other countries, especially those in which researchers equate entrepreneurship with the study of small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). Researchers in the US often distinguish ethics from corporate social responsibility (CSR), corporate social performance (CSP), stakeholder theory and stakeholder management with different theoretical models proposed in each of these areas. After discussing these various definitional issues, we review the empirical research on ethics in entrepreneurial firms, discussing what the results tell us, identifying gaps in prior research and concluding with recommendations for future research that draws more heavily on theoretical frameworks in the field of ethics.

“…Finally, unwillingness to follow the father's occupation may be related to rule-breaking behavior in adolescence, which involves defying parental authority and expectations. Rule breaking in adolescence, in turn, is shown to be positively associated with entrepreneurial status (Zhang and Arvey, 2009). Thus, it appears plausible that occupation followers are not more likely to be self-employed than non-occupation followers.…”

Terms of use: Documents in SOEPpapers on Multidisciplinary Panel Data Research at DIW BerlinThis series presents research findings based either directly on data from the German SocioEconomic Panel Study (SOEP) or using SOEP data as part of an internationally comparable data set (e.g. CNEF, ECHP, LIS, LWS, CHER/PACO). SOEP is a truly multidisciplinary household panel study covering a wide range of social and behavioral sciences: economics, sociology, psychology, survey methodology, econometrics and applied statistics, educational science, political science, public health, behavioral genetics, demography, geography, and sport science.The decision to publish a submission in SOEPpapers is made by a board of editors chosen by the DIW Berlin to represent the wide range of disciplines covered by SOEP. There is no external referee process and papers are either accepted or rejected without revision. Papers appear in this series as works in progress and may also appear elsewhere. They often represent preliminary studies and are circulated to encourage discussion. Citation of such a paper should account for its provisional character. A revised version may be requested from the author directly.Any opinions expressed in this series are those of the author(s) and not those of DIW Berlin.Research disseminated by DIW Berlin may include views on public policy issues, but the institute itself takes no institutional policy positions. AbstractWe argue that entrepreneurial choice proceeds in at least in two steps, with vocational choice nearly always preceding choice of employment status, whether that be self-employment or dependent employment. Since the two decisions are interrelated, analysis of entrepreneurial choice as a single act may lead to inconsistent estimates of the factors that determine the decision to launch a business venture. Our empirical analysis utilizes a bivariate probit model that jointly estimates both decisions. The results support our argument that entrepreneurial choice is a two-stage decision process.JEL classification: L26, J24, D01
