| description |
After Shane’s seminal work in 2000 which highlighted the importance of entrepreneurial opportunities, the number of studies focusing on entrepreneurial opportunity increased rapidly. Different definitions of this concept were provided in the field, ranging from subjective to objective ones, which gave rise to a lack of consensus among researchers and this, in turn, was an obstacle that slowed down theorizing in entrepreneurship. Taking into account the past trends in management sciences, it seems to be the right moment to re-conceptualize the core construct of opportunity. The major critique of existing definitions is their operationalization. To provide a better operationalization, the present study aimed to offer a more accurate conceptual definition. To this end, the study first examined current debates on opportunity, which revealed the major problem causing the debates. Then, through a systematic literature review, from among more than seven thousand documents in the Scopus database containing opportunity keywords, 74 papers were selected following different phases of filtration. The papers were analyzed in detail to extract different constructs. Then, using the framework of Hansen et al, they were classified along six dimensions. The concepts under each dimension were examined to finally provide a bigger picture of the construct of opportunity and offer a re-conceptualization. The results of this study highlight the gaps for future research and pave the ground for other systematic literature reviews in the field. |

En el campo se aportaron distintas definiciones de este concepto, que van desde las subjetivas hasta las objetivas, lo que generó una falta de consenso entre los investigadores y esto, a su vez, fue un obstáculo que frenó la teorización en el emprendimiento. Teniendo en cuenta las tendencias pasadas en las ciencias de la administración, parece ser el momento adecuado para reconceptualizar el constructo central de la oportunidad. La principal crítica de las definiciones existentes es su operacionalización. Para brindar una mejor operacionalización, el presente estudio tuvo como objetivo ofrecer una definición conceptual más precisa. Con este fin, el estudio examinó en primer lugar los debates actuales sobre las oportunidades que revelaron el principal problema que suscitan los debates. Luego, mediante una revisión sistemática de la literatura, de entre más de siete mil documentos en la base de datos Scopus que contienen palabras clave de oportunidad, se seleccionaron 74 artículos siguiendo diferentes fases de filtración. Los artículos se analizaron en detalle para extraer diferentes constructos. Luego, utilizando el marco de Hansen et al, se clasificaron en seis dimensiones. Se examinaron los conceptos de cada dimensión para finalmente proporcionar una imagen más amplia del constructo de oportunidad y ofrecer una reconceptualización. Los resultados de este estudio destacan las brechas para futuras investigaciones y preparan el terreno para otras revisiones sistemáticas de la literatura en este campo.application/pdfengUniversidad EAFIThttps://publicaciones.eafit.edu.co/index.php/administer/article/view/7174https://publicaciones.eafit.edu.co/index.php/administer/article/view/7174Copyright © 2021 Jahagir Yadolahi Farsi, Abolghasem Arabiun, Ali Akbar FarjadianAcceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2AD-minister, Núm. 39 (2021)Reconceptualizing opportunity construct: An answer to a theoretical dilemma through a systematic literature reviewReconceptualizar el constructo de oportunidad: una respuesta a un dilema teórico a través de una revisión sistemática de la literaturainfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlearticleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionpublishedVersionArtículohttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1OpportunityConceptualizationReconceptualizationOperationalizationEntrepreneurshipOportunidadConceptualizaciónReconceptualizaciónOperacionalizaciónEmprendimientoYadolahi Farsi, JahangirArabiun, AbolghasemAkbar Farjadian, AliUniversidad de Teherán en Teherán, IránUniversidad de Teherán en Teherán, IránUniversidad de Teherán en Teherán, IránAD-minister394772ORIGINALReconceptualizing opportunity construct.pdfReconceptualizing opportunity construct.pdfTexto completo PDFapplication/pdf589004https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/4b1829c4-46c8-4fdb-8e9b-d3f52ea2e0ae/download3cccbf1205fce4e278bf8b34e447109bMD51Reconceptualizing opportunity construct.htmlReconceptualizing opportunity construct.htmlTexto completo HTMLtext/html292https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/dd4a0977-2a70-49cb-9f4d-a16402faa9a0/download4200c3541180d0d91549f592b8eafea5MD52THUMBNAILminiatura-administer (1).jpgminiatura-administer (1).jpgimage/jpeg8755https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/1d402bcf-d01e-468d-84d6-421fe0d238f3/download87c28d32b620f3408b1c70a3c505fbd8MD5310784/30977oai:repository.eafit.edu.co:10784/309772022-06-17 21:02:00.46open.accesshttps://repository.eafit.edu.coRepositorio Institucional Universidad EAFITrepositorio@eafit.edu.co |
