PERSPECTIVES ON ENTREPRENEURIAL ACTION: A SCOPING REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE
Barra lateral del artículo
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
The objective of this study was to conduct a scoping review of the literature on entrepreneurial action available on the Web of Science data platform. To this end, a methodological procedure inspired by the Main Items for Reporting Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol was used. In this way, 652 works were initially found. However, after these studies were screened based on preestablished criteria, only 24 articles were included in the final sample and identified as relevant to the proposed objectives. The results of this review revealed that entrepreneurial action has been explored from different perspectives and highlighted seven categories of analysis: “Exploitation of Opportunities”, “Institutional Logics”, “Entrepreneurial Behavior”, “Uncertainty”, “Value Creation”, “Competitive Advantage” and “Entrepreneurial Process”. In addition, few reviews have investigated entrepreneurial action because most studies have focused instead on entrepreneurship or its interactions with other contexts. The categories of analysis revealed by this review can enhance our understanding of how relevant authors have contextualized entrepreneurial action. To provide suggestions for future studies, a research agenda was developed for each proposed category.
