PL

We wczesnych latach badań nad przedsiębiorczością działalność przedsiębiorczą traktowano jako proces sekwencyjny, wywodzący się z planowania i prowadzony przez jednostki z wrodzonymi zdolnościami. Od czasu pojawienia się nowych podejść do przedsiębiorczości, takich jak efektuacja i bricolage, proces przedsiębiorczości zaczął być postrzegany w inny sposób. Artykuł ma na celu wprowadzenie i omówienie kontekstowych aspektów przedsiębiorczości priorytetyzujących tę zmianę paradygmatu. Dokonano tego z wykorzystaniem danych na temat środowiska przedsiębiorczości w Brazylii, która jest wschodzącą gospodarką o złożonym i burzliwym kontekście gospodarczym. Zaobserwowano tam bowiem, że pandemia COVID-19 uwydatniła trudności napotykane już wcześniej przez brazylijskich przedsiębiorców w dostępie do zasobów, a także przyspieszyła rejestrację przedsięwzięć opartych na potrzebach. Tekst wnosi nowe spojrzenie do dyskusji dotyczącej potrzeby rozumienia przedsiębiorczości jako zjawiska kontekstualnego.

During the early days of the field of entrepreneurship research, entrepreneurial activity was taken as a sequenced process, derived from planning, and carried out by individuals with innate capabilities. Since the rise of newly emerging approaches to entrepreneurship, such as effectuation and bricolage, the entrepreneurial process has come to be perceived differently. This article aims to introduce and discuss the contextual aspects of entrepreneurship, prioritising this paradigmatic shift. A survey with data on the entrepreneurial environment in Brazil, an emerging economy with a complex and tumultuous economic context, was conducted. It was observed that the COVID-19 pandemic has accentuated difficulties already encountered in access to resources by Brazilian entrepreneurs, as well as catapulted the registration of need-based ventures. The article provides new insights to the discussion regarding the need to understand entrepreneurship as a contextual phenomenon.
