Entrepreneurial resourcefulness in unstable institutional contexts - the example of European Union borderlands
journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-09, 05:35 authored by Friederike Welter, Mirela XhenetiMirela Xheneti, David SmallboneThis paper advances our understanding of entrepreneurial resourcefulness in unstable institutional contexts, which are characterized by resource constraints and institutional changes but are rich in intangible resources of a socio-cultural nature. Drawing on qualitative data of individuals engaged in informal cross border activities in EU borderlands, we theorize resourcefulness along two core dimensions: continuity and change in relation to socio-cultural, spatial and institutional conditions and, development and coping as outcomes. We identify six configurations of resourcefulness patterns and outcomes that extend current understandings of the variations in how individuals interact with their contexts offering, therefore, a nuanced view of resourcefulness.
