Antisocial entrepreneurship: Conceptual foundations and a research agenda

Erik Lundmark and Alf Westelius

Journal of Business Venturing Insights, 2019, vol. 11, issue C, -

Abstract: Whereas social entrepreneurship has been extensively studied, its antipode—antisocial entrepreneurship—is all but neglected in the literature. This article identifies and elucidates this glaring conceptual and research gap; it provides a conceptual foundation for making sense of antisocial entrepreneurship, demonstrating how it is distinct from related constructs such as illegal and destructive entrepreneurship; and it suggests an agenda for future research on antisocial entrepreneurship. Through studying antisocial entrepreneurship, a broader spectrum of entrepreneurial intentions, actions and outcomes becomes visible, potentially furthering our understanding, not only of antisocial entrepreneurship, but also of other, more commonly studied, facets of entrepreneurship.
