Purpose

Entrepreneurship in the rural hospitality and tourism sector (RHT) has received wide attention in the past decade. However, a systematic review on this topic is currently lacking. This study aims to track the progress of the RHT and entrepreneurship literature by examining the various thematic research areas, identifying the research gaps and forecasting avenues of future research on the topic.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper catalogs and synthesizes the body of literature from the year 2000–2020 using a systematic literature review methodology. After discussing a brief history of RHT and entrepreneurship, the current study presents a review of 101 research articles.

Findings

The review highlights that RHT and entrepreneurship have received relatively limited attention from entrepreneurship journals. The content analysis revealed different gaps and limitations in the understanding of entrepreneurship in RHT, including a predominance of qualitative studies with limited theoretically-grounded and generalizable empirical studies. Furthermore, a high concentration of studies is from European countries. Six main thematic research areas were identified, namely, barriers and enablers, the roles of an entrepreneur, women in RHT, influencers of firm performance, innovation and value creation and methodological commonalities. The review also advances an RHT entrepreneurship ecosystem framework to summarize the findings.

Originality/value

Six promising research avenues are outlined based on the six themes identified. The suggested research questions draw from allied literature on small and medium businesses, innovation, women entrepreneurship and institutions to encourage the interdisciplinary cross-pollination of ideas. The findings are summarized in a novel research framework.

乡村酒店和旅游业的企业家精神。对过去成就和未来承诺的系统文献回顾

目的

在过去十年中,乡村酒店和旅游业 (RHT) 的创业受到了广泛关注。然而,目前缺乏对这一主题的系统评价。本研究旨在通过检查各个主题研究领域、确定研究差距和预测该主题未来研究的途径来跟踪 RHT 和创业文献的进展。

设计/方法/方法

本文使用系统的文献综述方法对 2000-2020 年的文献进行了编目和综合。在讨论了 RHT 和创业的简史之后,本研究对 101 篇研究文章进行了回顾。

发现

该评论强调,创业期刊对 RHT 和创业的关注相对有限。内容分析揭示了对 RHT 创业精神的理解存在不同的差距和局限性,包括定性研究占主导地位,而理论基础和可推广的实证研究有限。此外,高度集中的研究来自欧洲国家。确定了六个主要的专题研究领域,即障碍和促成因素、企业家的角色、RHT 中的女性、公司绩效的影响因素、创新和价值创造以及方法论的共性。该审查还提出了一个 RHT 创业生态系统框架来总结调查结果。

原创性/价值

根据确定的六个主题概述了六个有前途的研究途径。建议的研究问题来自关于中小企业、创新、女性创业和机构的相关文献,以鼓励跨学科的思想交流。研究结果总结在一个新的研究框架中。
