Do entrepreneurs create ventures or do venture experiences create
entrepreneurs? The authors of Entrepreneurship as Experience
propose that the answer is 'both'. This important volume examines
how individuals experience the creation of a venture as it happens
and how that experience determines the types of entrepreneur and
venture that ultimately emerge. In essence, entrepreneurship is an
experience consisting of large numbers of key events such as a
first sale, hiring a first employee, losing a big account - events
that are processed and made sense of by the entrepreneur. They
produce cognitive, emotional and physiological responses, which
impact decision-making and behavior. The result is an experience
that is purposive, diverse, uncertain, ambiguous and transformative
- and unique to each individual. Here, the authors argue that as
experience unfolds both entrepreneur and venture are being
constructed and emerge in unique forms. This experiential view
introduces an entirely new lens through which entrepreneurship can
be examined. Entrepreneurship as Experience comprises chapters
dedicated to sociological, anthropological and psychological
research related to human experiencing; the volume presents a new
frame for understanding the role of emotions and feelings in
venture creation and lays out a conceptual framework for
understanding how real-time experiencing informs the
entrepreneurial process. New insights are provided regarding how
the entrepreneurial mindset and an entrepreneurial identity are
formed, and why entrepreneurs take on certain traits and develop
certain competencies. Further, the authors put forth new approaches
to conducting research on the entrepreneurial experience. Students
- advanced as well as undergraduate - and scholars of
entrepreneurship, innovation, strategy and management will find
themselves turning often to the ideas and research presented here.
