新产业情境下的创业研究：重要主题与研究展望

摘要/Abstract

摘要： 创建新企业并由此催生一个新产业是创业的重要标志，探究新产业中的创业现象对于理解微观组织的创业行为、绩效结果以及新产业的形成规律具有重要价值。现有文献对新产业中的创业议题开展了广泛探究，但尚未对此进行系统梳理。由于新产业代表了某种特殊的甚至是极端的创业情境，对该情境下的创业文献进行梳理有助于深化和拓展既有创业研究。鉴于此，在明确新产业概念和特征的基础上，通过系统性文献研究识别出战略、合法性、创业机会和身份四个重要主题并梳理其研究脉络；围绕“前因-实施-结果”构建整体研究框架并通过文献比较以明确新产业情境下创业研究的价值；最后就深化和拓展现有议题及开展中国情境研究提出未来展望，以期推动新产业情境下的创业研究进程。

Abstract: Starting a new business to initiate a new industry is a key hallmark of entrepreneurship. Exploring the entrepreneurial phenomenon in emerging industries is essential for understanding both the entrepreneurial behavior and decision-making logic of new ventures and the formation patterns of emerging industries. Although the existing literature has extensively explored entrepreneurship in emerging industries, no systematic review has been conducted so far. Emerging industries represent a unique, even extreme entrepreneurial context. A systematic review of entrepreneurship researches concerning emerging industry contexts for the purpose of identifying important research themes and their research threads, can significantly contribute to the knowledge of entrepreneurship research in general settings. Given this, this paper first defines the connotation and characteristics of an emerging industry; next employs the systematic literature research method to search, select and code the literature on new venture entrepreneurial behaviors in emerging industries, thus identifying four prominent themes, i.e., strategy, legitimacy, entrepreneurial opportunity and identity; then constructs an integrated research framework and conducts a comparative analysis to clarify the distinctive value of entrepreneurship research in emerging industries; and finally proposes future research prospects for promoting the progress of entrepreneurship research in emerging industry.

Key words: emerging industry, entrepreneurship research, prominent themes, research prospects
