Purpose

The experiences materialising as learning tasks in the entrepreneurial context do not automatically transform into effective learning for a novice entrepreneur. In this paper, we develop a comprehensive and situational role taxonomy for entrepreneurial mentoring meant to address this challenge.

Design/methodology/approach

Entrepreneurial mentoring builds on the assumption that it can facilitate the transformation of experience and consequently enhance the learning outcomes for a novice entrepreneur. By integrating and extending the extant research on entrepreneurial learning and mentoring, we argue for a dynamic and situational approach, scrutinising the fit between discrete entrepreneurial learning modes and the mentoring functions targeting them.

Findings

We complete our theorising by developing four propositions and a taxonomy of mentor roles. The role taxonomy comprises a repertoire of four different roles that target the learning modes through learning-enabling mechanisms drawn from the learning literature.

Originality/value

The role taxonomy poses important implications for future entrepreneurship research. The role taxonomy can be directly employed in more targeted, formal training programmes for both mentees and mentors.

通过指导加强创业学习:情境和通用导师角色分类法

目的

在创业环境中作为学习任务的体验不会自动转化为新手创业者的有效学习。在本文中,我们为旨在应对这一挑战的创业指导制定了一个全面的情境角色分类法。

设计/方法/方法

创业指导建立在这样一个假设之上,即它可以促进经验的转变,从而提高新手创业者的学习成果。通过整合和扩展现有的创业学习和指导研究,我们主张采用动态和情境方法,仔细审查离散创业学习模式与针对它们的指导功能之间的匹配。

发现

我们通过发展四个命题和导师角色分类来完成我们的理论化。角色分类法包含四种不同角色的曲目,这些角色通过从学习文献中提取的学习启用机制来针对学习模式。

原创性/价值

角色分类对未来的创业研究具有重要意义。角色分类法可以直接用于针对学员和导师的更有针对性的正式培训计划。
