Beyond the paradigm of literacy – Developing a research agenda in entrepreneurship

Pia Arenius and Anna-Katharina Lenz

Journal of Business Venturing Insights, 2024, vol. 21, issue C

Abstract: Illiteracy, the lack of ability to read and write, affects how people engage with entrepreneurship and the possible outcomes of entrepreneurial actions. Yet entrepreneurship as a discipline has paid little direct attention to illiterate entrepreneurs. We offer a glimpse of what recognition of illiteracy in entrepreneurship research might enable, and how it can challenge researchers to reach beyond our existing knowledge horizons to develop a future of impactful, integrative, and inclusive entrepreneurship scholarship.
