Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the Base of the Pyramid: A Recipe for Inclusive Growth or Social Exclusion? (2012, background): “However, at the BOP, social instability and weak public sector institutions are the norm (Sachs, 2005; Stiglitz, 2002; Webb et al., 2010), making it infeasible to expect entrepreneurs within poor regions to be concerned about social impacts.”
The Influence of Formal and Informal Institutional Voids on Entrepreneurship (2020, background): “In addition, enforcement agents may disagree with the formal institutional guidelines they are tasked to uphold (Webb et al., 2009) or empathize with the plight of disadvantaged entrepreneurs (Cross, 1998), undermining their motivation to enforce formal institutions’ prescriptions.”
Innovation for Inclusive Business: Intrapreneurial Bricolage in Multinational Corporations (2012, background): “Both companies have a strong presence in developing and emerging countries, and have shown interest in innovation aimed at poverty alleviation (ABB, 2005; EgelsZanden and Kallifatides, 2009; Nikkari, 2009; NSN, 2007a, 2007b, 2008a, 2008b, 2009a, 2009b; Rainisto, 2009; Webb et al., 2010).”
Sourcing for the base of the pyramid: Constructing supply chains to address voids in subsistence markets (2015, unknown): “Subsistence markets are characterized by poverty and isolation from mainstream markets, which has important consequences for the business environment in these markets, both in terms of the institutions that govern business transactions and of gaps in business ecosystems (Ricart et al., 2004; Webb et”
Entrepreneurship Education in a Poverty Context: An Empowerment Perspective (2019, result): “In contrast to the existing work on poverty and entrepreneurship in developing countries (i.e., Bruton, Ketchen, and Ireland 2013; McMullen 2011; Webb et al. 2010), where poverty conditions are more ubiquitous, our work focuses on the (increasing) gap between different socioeconomic contexts in…”
Toward a theory of transformative entrepreneuring: Poverty reduction and conflict resolution in Rwanda's entrepreneurial coffee sector (2013, background): “…how entrepreneurs combine resources (Meyskens et al., 2010), develop original business models alone or in collaboration (Seelos & Mair, 2005; 2007; Webb et al, 2010), face institutional challenges (Kistruck et al, 2011), and alter existing institutional arrangements (Mair & Marti, 2009) in order…”
Toward a Greater Understanding of Entrepreneurship and Strategy in the Informal Economy (2014, background): “An additional motivation underlying our efforts was based on the consideration that scholars have predominantly addressed research questions related to entrepreneurship within largely developed contexts where formal institutions provide structures to support efficient market transactions, surfacing ”
Delineating the Domain of Development Entrepreneurship: A Market–Based Approach to Facilitating Inclusive Economic Growth (2011, background): “Recognition that SE is most likely the product of distributed agency (owing to the fact that knowledge of supply and demand are likely to be dispersed) increases the complexity of coordination and the necessity for trust (Webb et al., 2010; Zacharakis et al., 2007).”
Revitalizing Entrepreneurship: The Search for New Research Opportunities (2011, unknown): “Scholars are now identifying significant research opportunities associated with BOP markets (e.g. Webb et al., 2010).”
