Underdog Entrepreneurs: A Model of Challenge–Based Entrepreneurship

Abstract: Although there has been abundant research on the positive personality and environmental qualities that stimulate entrepreneurship, we argue that negative personal circumstances of an economic, sociocultural, cognitive, and physical/ emotional nature may have an equally powerful role to play in getting people to become effective entrepreneurs. These challenges create conditions and experiences that motivate particular adaptive requirements which in turn foster outcomes such as work discipline, risk tolerance, s… Show more

“…Recently, some institutions have been incorporating entrepreneurial training programs and business incubation and acceleration projects (Hornsby, Messersmith, Rutherford, & Simmons, 2018). From thinking and/or cognitive current, individuals who are potential entrepreneurs usually detect opportunities and minimize latent risks, this is generally achieved through converting experiences into applied knowledge (Miller & Le Breton-Miller, 2017;Tipu, 2015). Studies in this context have shown that the behavior and entrepreneurial passion of individuals is focused on creating, developing, and inventing new ways of doing things, facing problems, and/or creating new prototypes and that it also manages to develop positive impulses, which promote the strengthening of the intentions to undertake (Costa, Santos, Wach, & Caetano, 2018;Neneh, 2019).…”

“…We comply with an emerging view that institutions in volatile economies are a double-edged sword, both a threat and opportunity to businesses (Mair and Marti, 2009;Miller and Le Breton-Miller, 2017). In this light, we study how unfavorable institutional factors may have a byproduct bright side to them through their interplay with EO and bricolage.…”

“…Gender difference in entrepreneurial success and government policies is probably the most hot topic under the research radar (Marlow, Carter, & Shaw, 2008). A one-of-a-kind study is the contribution on underdog entrepreneurs, which analyzes how negative circumstances one experiences in life could lead the individual to become a resilient and successful entrepreneur (Miller & Le Breton-Miller, 2016). Another interesting stream of study is flourished on the concept of social innovation as a tool for the inclusion of marginalized people (Grimm, Fox, Baines, & Albertson, 2013).…”
