Towards a theory of indigenous entrepreneurship: a classic

Abstract

Indigenous people often do not get the full benefits of economic development, regardless of their proximity to production factors. While many academics have recognised and investigated indigenous people's problems, relatively few have suggested entrepreneurship as a means to addressing them. In this paper, we explore Peredo et al. 's (2004) work, 'Towards a theory of indigenous entrepreneurship -a theory of entrepreneurship that accounts for indigenous people and sustainability'. Using Scopus and Google Scholar, a bibliometric analysis confirmed the impact of this work, first published some 16 years ago. The analysis reveals that the paper has been referenced over 300 times, with over 70% of these citations originating from online academic journal articles and books and 30% from different types of websites. The paper's substantial impact on future research in indigenous entrepreneurship indicates that it is and will continue to be a foundational work on indigenous entrepreneurship.

The Role of TPB, Self-Reliance and Self-Sufficiency on Indigenous Entrepreneurial Behaviour

“…Self-sufficiency Indigenous peoples are used to self-sufficiency. Indigenous peoples' cultural identity, ethnic sanctuary, and economic opportunity have long been protected (Tengeh et al, 2022). Indigenous peoples or aborigines around the world are the essences of a self-sufficient culture, according to Amiruddin et al (2020).…”

Determinants, processes, and impacts of indigenous entrepreneurship: a systematic literature review

“…In addition, some scholars have reviewed the IE literature to understand its contributions to knowledge. However, the existing reviews of IE take a narrow perspective and fail to present a comprehensive view of the IE phenomenon in terms of its determinants, processes and impacts (Bruton et al, 2018;Croce, 2017;Foley and O'connor, 2013;Hindle and Moroz, 2010;Padilla-Mel endez et al, 2022;Tengeh et al, 2022). The available reviews examine IE in rural, urban and remote regions (Hindle and Moroz, 2010), present conceptual frameworks of IE (Croce, 2017), explore current issues pertaining to IE (Padilla-Mel endez et al, 2022) or use bibliometric analysis (Tengeh et al, 2022).…”

Given the limitations of these reviews, a more comprehensive approach is needed to highlight the emerging themes in the literature regarding the determinants, processes and impacts of IE.…”
