Purpose: This exploratory study aimed to provide a description of the experiences and perceptions of survivalist entrepreneurs in under-resourced communities. These survivalist entrepreneurs perceived themselves as ‘temporary’ entrepreneurs. They engaged in entrepreneurial ventures, whilst actively searching for secure formal employment. Design/methodology/approach: Qualitative interviews were conducted with four informal survivalist microenterprise entrepreneurs (ISM-E entrepreneurs). Narratives relating to their experiences and perceptions of their environment, community and government support and their experience of owning a microenterprise in an impoverished community were analysed inductively. Findings/results: Fourteen themes were identified and were grouped under two broad topics, namely the characterisation of the entrepreneur and the surrounding setting of the ISM-E entrepreneur. The discussion of the findings was presented in a positive deviance framework. Practical implications: It was proposed that the ingenuity and strengths of these ISM-E entrepreneurs be acknowledged and that their positive discourses be cultivated and encouraged in order to inspire unemployed people around them. These ISM-E entrepreneurs could, ideally, point social scientists to possible context-appropriate solutions to the huge unemployment challenge experienced in disadvantaged communities. Originality/value: This study addresses a knowledge gap pertaining to the exploration of micro-entrepreneurship in under-resourced communities within a positive deviance framework.

积极的异常失业者:边缘化社区中的幸存企业家

目的:这项探索性研究旨在描述资源贫乏社区中生存主义企业家的经历和看法。这些生存主义企业家将自己视为“临时”企业家。他们从事创业,同时积极寻找安全的正式就业机会。设计/方法/方法:对四位非正式的生存主义微型企业企业家(ISM-E企业家)进行了定性访谈。归纳分析了有关他们对环境,社区和政府支持的经验和看法以及在贫困社区拥有微型企业的经验的叙述。结果/结果:确定了14个主题并将其分为两个主题:即企业家的特征和ISM-E企业家的周围环境。对结果的讨论是在积极偏差框架内进行的。实际意义:提议承认这些ISM-E企业家的才智和力量,并培养和鼓励他们积极的话语,以激励周围的失业人员。理想情况下,这些ISM-E企业家可以为社会科学家提供针对背景的解决方案,以解决处境不利社区面临的巨大失业挑战。原创性/价值:本研究解决了在积极偏差框架内与资源贫乏社区中的微型企业家精神探索有关的知识差距。对结果的讨论是在积极偏差框架内进行的。实际意义:提议承认这些ISM-E企业家的才智和力量,并培养和鼓励他们积极的话语,以激励周围的失业人员。理想情况下,这些ISM-E企业家可以为社会科学家提供针对背景的解决方案,以解决弱势社区遭受的巨大失业挑战。原创性/价值:本研究解决了在积极偏差框架内与资源贫乏社区中的微型企业家精神探索有关的知识差距。对结果的讨论是在积极偏差框架内进行的。实际意义:提议承认这些ISM-E企业家的才智和力量,并培养和鼓励他们积极的话语,以激励周围的失业人员。理想情况下,这些ISM-E企业家可以为社会科学家提供针对背景的解决方案,以解决弱势社区遭受的巨大失业挑战。原创性/价值:本研究解决了在积极偏差框架内与资源贫乏社区中的微型企业家精神探索有关的知识差距。有人建议承认这些ISM-E企业家的才智和力量,并培养和鼓励他们积极的话语,以激励周围的失业人员。理想情况下,这些ISM-E企业家可以为社会科学家提供针对背景的解决方案,以解决处境不利社区面临的巨大失业挑战。原创性/价值:本研究解决了在积极偏差框架内与资源贫乏社区中的微型企业家精神探索有关的知识差距。有人建议承认这些ISM-E企业家的才智和力量,并培养和鼓励他们积极的话语,以激励周围的失业人员。理想情况下,这些ISM-E企业家可以为社会科学家提供针对背景的解决方案,以解决处境不利社区面临的巨大失业挑战。原创性/价值:本研究解决了在积极偏差框架内与资源贫乏社区中的微型企业家精神探索有关的知识差距。
