Fieldwork has demonstrated that entrepreneurial behavior and economic theory do not work in the same ways in different national, cultural or regulatory contexts. In this video, FRIEDERIKE WELTER analyzes the importance of context in entrepreneurship research. Developing an interdisciplinary approach that draws on insights from philosophy, anthropology, ethnology, and linguistics, Welter examines how contextual issues have been addressed in these fields. With relevance for entrepreneurship education and research as well as for policymakers, Welter’s work highlights the importance of developing a process view of how entrepreneurship is contextualized.
