The objective of this thesis is to extend effectuation theory by looking at it through the lens of a rather new context such as Africa. By doing this, we can broaden our understanding of effectuation to promising dynamics – namely - to institutional plurality, resource scarcity, and entrepreneurial activities in the informal economy. In the following chapters we will present three papers which will pick up the outlined topics and hence, they demonstrate the fertility of the African territory for entrepreneurship research.
L'obiettivo di questa tesi è di estendere la teoria di effectuation guardando attraverso la lente di un contesto piuttosto nuovo come l'Africa. In questo modo, possiamo ampliare il nostro comprensione dell'effectuation delle dinamiche promettenti - in particolare - della pluralità istituzionale, della scarsità di risorse e delle attività imprenditoriali nell'economia informale. Nei seguenti capitoli presenteremo tre articoli che raccoglieranno gli argomenti delineati e quindi, essi dimostrare la fertilità del territorio africano per la ricerca imprenditoriale.

Abstract
The objective of this thesis is to extend effectuation theory by looking at it through the lens of a rather new context such as Africa. By doing this, we can broaden our understanding of effectuation to promising dynamics – namely - to institutional plurality, resource scarcity, and entrepreneurial activities in the informal economy. In the following chapters we will present three papers which will pick up the outlined topics and hence, they demonstrate the fertility of the African territory for entrepreneurship research.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
