This assignment delves into the entrepreneurial mindset through various lenses. It covers key theories like effectuation (Runping, 2016) and self-efficacy (Mauer et al., 2017), and explores how context shapes innovation (Newth & Woods, 2014) and influences small business performance (Stam et al., 2014). Additionally, it examines social entrepreneurship resistance (Newth & Woods, 2014), entrepreneurial intentions (Pfeifer et al., 2016), and the impact of Brexit on small businesses (smallbusiness.co.uk, 2017). The assignment also touches upon academic entrepreneurship (Wright, 2014) and contextualization in entrepreneurship research (Zahra et al., 2014).
