ABSTRACT

The concept of knowledge and the process of knowledge sharing in ethnic minority microbusinesses remain neglected in contemporary debates even if their role for economic development is recognized. Drawing on a culturalist view, we explore how knowledge is defined and shared in a local niche market. Thematic analysis of semistructured qualitative interviews with 32 owner-managers and 11 employee-managers reveals that, contrary to studies on larger firms, local knowledge creation and sharing narrowly based on ethnic strengths are valuable sources of competitive advantage. Our study has implications for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners in exploring, supporting, and integrating ethnic minority microbusinesses.

“知识最多的人将赢得比赛”:微型企业中的知识概念化

摘要

少数民族微型企业的知识概念和知识共享过程在当代辩论中仍然被忽视,即使它们对经济发展的作用得到承认。借鉴文化主义的观点,我们探讨了知识在当地利基市场中是如何定义和共享的。对 32 名所有者-经理和 11 名员工-经理的半结构化定性访谈的主题分析表明,与对大型公司的研究相反,狭隘地基于种族优势的本地知识创造和共享是竞争优势的宝贵来源。我们的研究对研究人员、政策制定者和从业者探索、支持和整合少数民族微型企业具有重要意义。
