制度与创业:创业研究中制度理论的拓宽与情境化

Institutions and Entrepreneurship:Broadening and Contextualizing Institutional Theory in Entrepreneurship Research

本文评论了Hitt和Xu(2019)的论文,该论文总结了制度理论与创业交叉领域的最新研究进展。我们同意两位作者的建议,即学者应该发展一套理论上严谨且全面的方法来研究制度对创业战略和绩效的影响。与此同时,我们指出两条未来的研究路径,希望这两条途径能够拓展新制度经济学的观点,即当前许多制度与创业的交叉研究的基础。首先,我们讨论了近期关于制度逻辑和制度复杂性的研究,强调其在拓宽我们对制度的认识方面的潜力。其次,我们呼吁对创业研究中的制度理论进行更多的情境化研究。

We comment on Hitt & Xu’s( 2019) paper summarizing recent development of research at the interface of institutional theory and entrepreneurship. We agree with the authors’ suggestion that scholars develop a theoretically rigorous and comprehensive approach to address institutional effects on entrepreneurial strategy and performance. At the same time,we point to two avenues for future research that we hope can expand the new institutional economics view that underlies much of current research at the intersection of institutions and entrepreneurship. First,we discuss recent research on institutional logics and institutional complexity,highlighting its potential in broadening our view of institutions. Second,we call for more research to contextualize the institutional theory in entrepreneurship research.
