Abstract
Viimastel aastakümnetel on kasvanud huvi ettevõtluse kui uurimissuuna vastu, kuna ettevõtluse arendamine toetab innovatsiooni, soodustab jätkusuutlikkust ja tõstab heaolu. Ettevõtluse tugisüsteemi kujundamisel on oluline mõista ettevõtluse toimimise mehhanisme.
Kuigi ettevõtlusalase kirjanduse hulk on kasvanud, sisaldab see endiselt lünki, sealhulgas käsitledes põhikonstruktsioone ettevõtlusvõimalus, -protsess ja –teekond. Sellest lähtuvalt on doktoritöö eesmärgiks luua arusaam idee ja ettevõtlusvõimaluse dünaamilisest olemusest ettevõtlusprotsessi ja -teekonna võtmes.
Doktoritöös süvenetakse ettevõtlusvõimaluste kujunemisse - arengusse ajas. Arvestades ettevõtlusmaastiku ümberkujundavaid nihkeid, on samuti vajalik mõista ettevõtlusvõimalust dünaamikas. Ettevõtlusteekond on uurimistöö keskmes kui ettevõtlusprotsessi realisatsioon ajas. Rakendatakse protsessipõhist vaadet, mis võimaldab jälgida ettevõtja tegevust idee käivitamisest rakenduseni.
Doktoritöö tutvustab ettevõtlusvõimaluste dünaamikat selgitavat mudelit uute ettevõtete loomise raamistikus. Doktoritöö panus teaduskirjandusse on ettevõtlusvõimaluse kontseptsiooni käsitlus ajas ettevõtlusprotsessi ja teekonna kulgemise kontekstis. Ettevõtlusteekonna ja võimaluse trajektoori vaadeldakse nn. objektiivses-subjektiivses ruumis (ettevõtja käsitluses). Doktoritöös uuritakse ettevõtlusvõimalusi mõjutavaid tegureid, sealhulgas, ettevõtja afektiivset ettekujutust olukordadest ja ettevõtluse ökosüsteemiga seotud elementidest rakendades neid kontseptsioone erinevates valdkondades, sealhulgas kultuuri- ja teadmuspõhistes sektorites.
Doktoritöö pakub uudse arusaama ettevõtluse olemusest, avades mehhanisme, mis mõjutavad edukaid ettevõtmisi.
In recent decades, there has been an increasing interest in entrepreneurship, as the development of entrepreneurial activities supports innovation, promotes sustainability, and increases well-being. To build a support system for entrepreneurship, it is vital to understand its mechanisms. Despite a growing body of literature on entrepreneurship, there are still gaps, including debate regarding basic constructs such as entrepreneurial opportunity, process, and journey. In this vein, the dissertation aims to give an insight into the dynamic nature of an entrepreneurial idea and opportunity within the entrepreneurial process and journey. The dissertation delves into the formation of opportunities and their evolution over time. Understanding this dynamic view application becomes pertinent given the transformative shifts in entrepreneurship. So far, the entrepreneurial journey is core for the research as a temporal appearance of entrepreneurial activities. Furthermore, we apply the process view, which allows us to trace the events and activities of entrepreneurs from initiation to the application of ideas. The dissertation introduces a model illuminating the dynamics of entrepreneurial opportunities, situating them within the framework of creating new ventures. The dissertation contributes to the literature by conceptualising the entrepreneurial opportunity in the context of the entrepreneurial process and journey over time. The entrepreneurial journey and opportunity trajectory are addressed within the so-called objective-subjective (space) corridor. The study examines factors influencing entrepreneurial opportunities, encompassing the entrepreneur's affective perception of situations and ecosystem-related elements and applying these concepts across diverse industries, including knowledge-based and cultural sectors. The dissertation offers novel insights into the particularities of entrepreneurship's nature, shedding light on the mechanisms that underscore successful endeavours.
