“…Critically, entrepreneurial efforts to reduce shame bridge individual and collective feelings of injustice that transcend the self/other dichotomy of entrepreneurial motives entrenched in the current entrepreneurship literature (e.g., Grant, 2008; Ruskin et al, 2016; Van de Ven et al, 2007). In fact, our emancipatory pathway is unique in that it seems to have both components of necessity entrepreneurship (Ballesteros-Sola & Osorio-Novela, 2021; Doering & Wry, 2022; Weber, Fasse, Haugh, & Grote, 2022) and social entrepreneurship. These two types of entrepreneurship have been cast as distinct: one being self-interested and driven out of need (Dencker et al, 2021), the other being other-orientated and driven by a desire for change (Chatterjee, Cornelissen, & Wincent, 2021; George, Haas, Joshi, McGahan, & Tracey, 2022; T.…”

Shame has been identified as a debilitating emotion that impedes entrepreneurial action. Yet, there are many examples of people who experience shame and go on to create entrepreneurial ventures. How then is entrepreneurship possible in the face of such shame? To address this question, we develop a theoretical process model that highlights the connection between individual and collective experiences of shame and elaborates when and how such experiences may lead to entrepreneurship. We suggest that third-person experiences of shame can transform first-person experiences and trigger identification with a community of similarly stigmatized others. We argue that the distinct narratives provided by these communities can reduce or enhance entrepreneurial self-efficacy, and therefore lead to different entrepreneurial pathways: some individuals may create ventures out of necessity, while others will create ventures that act as shame-free havens for themselves and others, and become a source of emancipation and social change. By outlining distinct entrepreneurial pathways out of shame, we extend current research at the intersection of entrepreneurship, necessity, emancipation, and social change.

“…Personal traits commonly associated with entrepreneurs are more strongly linked to opportunity‐based venture creation than necessity‐based venture creation. In addition, Ballesteros‐Sola and Osorio‐Novela (2021) argue that an individual's entrepreneurial propensity is influenced by their motivations, family embeddedness, and gender identity. Likewise, Civera et al.…”

This study provides a comprehensive examination of necessity entrepreneurship, a concept distinct from its counterpart, opportunity entrepreneurship. Necessity entrepreneurship emerges from the compelling need to address economic hardship or unemployment, contrasting with opportunity entrepreneurship, which is driven by the pursuit of new market opportunities. The backdrop of this study is anchored in the escalating unemployment crisis and its implications for sustainable economic growth and the attainment of sustainable development goals. Through an integrative review combining bibliometric–content analysis of 96 publications, following the PRISMA protocol, and a detailed case analysis of 10 globally recognized entrepreneurs who embarked on their ventures driven by necessity, this study unravels the critical factors fueling the rise of necessity entrepreneurship. The findings delineate the relationship between necessity and opportunity entrepreneurship, highlighting how an entrepreneurial orientation can serve as a pivotal link. This orientation not only mitigates the adverse effects of unemployment but also propels the economy toward sustainable growth, thereby contributing significantly to the sustainable development goals. The insights derived from this study traverse multiple domains including entrepreneurial orientation, socio‐economic factors, as well as innovation and digitalization, offering a granular perspective on business policy, entrepreneurial ecosystems, the disparate impacts on developed versus developing nations, and the role of innovation in dynamic entrepreneurship. Through a conceptual framework, this study elucidates how entrepreneurial orientation can effectively bridge the gap between the unemployment crisis and sustainable economic growth. Therefore, this study not only enriches the academic discourse on necessity entrepreneurship but also provides pragmatic insights for entrepreneurs, policymakers, and scholars, emphasizing the crucial role of entrepreneurship in navigating economic and social challenges.
