Description
This thesis focuses on entrepreneurial rule-breaking, a purposeful and discrete behaviour that entrepreneurs utilise to alleviate the regulating power of rules and institutions, which assists them to survive and thrive in the demanding entrepreneurial game. Challenging the popular belief that entrepreneurs are rule breakers and that their rule-breaking is rooted in deviance, a new construct—constructive rule beliefs—was conceptualised as a potential driver of rule-breaking and a theoretical model was proposed to explain how rule-breaking behaviour is embedded in social and commercial contexts. This research has important practical implications for entrepreneurs, policymakers, and society.
Impact and interest:
