This paper offers a market-compatible perspective of the emancipatory entrepreneurship of marginalized groups. We identify two dimensions of market-emancipation compatibility that derive from tensions inherent in the emancipatory entrepreneurship of marginalized groups. Ends-compatibility reflects the misalignment of emancipatory outcomes with market outcomes. Means-compatibility reflects the constraint entrepreneurs from marginalized groups encounter in market structures. We engage with these tensions in the context of the businesses, processes, and products that emerge from the entrepreneurship of marginalized groups. We use these tensions to derive propositions that speak to the likelihood emancipatory opportunities develop and that these opportunities are exploited by marginalized groups. With these propositions, we contribute to debates about entrepreneurship's overall emancipatory capacity. Specifically, we contribute a conceptual space in which the market forces that structure entrepreneurial activity and the material realities of venturing from marginalized social positions are incorporated into theorizing and testing entrepreneurship's capacity to enable marginalized groups with respect to structural disadvantage.

There is a growing interest in exploring the practice-based foundations of entrepreneurship education. Despite significant advancement in scholarship regarding entrepreneurship education, our understanding of the ‘educator’, especially how they develop and sustain their abilities to enable learning in practice-based entrepreneurship education, remains sorely understudied. In contrast to existing cognitive learning approaches, we suggest practice-based knowing as an alternative pathway to develop entrepreneurial practice expertise. We build on Heidegger's existential ontology and use the ideas of entwinement and breakdown to build—quasipractice—a process of developing entrepreneurial practice expertise through proximal engagement in the actions, emotions, and cognitive experiences of an entrepreneur, including the experience of temporary breakdowns, and reflection on the breakdowns experienced. Quasipractice helps advance the literature on both the professional development of the entrepreneurship educator and the larger area of practice-based entrepreneurship education.

This study investigates which local conditions enable community-based enterprises (CBEs) to create impact. Advancing our limited understanding of the various contexts that enable CBEs to tackle societal issues locally, we investigate supportive conditions across 77 CBEs driving the energy transition in their geographic community. Through qualitative comparative analysis, we identify four condition configurations for CBE impact creation. Across these configurations, we reveal transferable mechanisms helping CBEs to engage community members ( Opportunity- and Community-anchoring ) and handle the absence of a supportive condition (Circumventing and Compensating). Our study suggests how CBEs can combine these mechanisms to create impact in varied local contexts. • Our study informs how community-based enterprises (CBEs) can generate local impact based on available local conditions. • No single condition is necessary or (by itself) sufficient for impact creation. • CBEs can build upon various condition combinations that can help deal with a barrier (lacking condition). • CBEs enhance resourcefulness by passing barriers with Circumventing and overcoming them with Compensating strategies. • CBEs engage communities by highlighting benefits ( Opportunity-anchoring ) or emphasizing relationships ( Community-anchoring ).

Drawing from expectancy violation theory, we investigate how entrepreneurs' language-based expressions of their political ideology influence the performance of their crowdfunding campaigns. We argue that crowdfunding funders expect campaigns to be apolitical, suggesting that entrepreneurs' expressing their political ideologies – regardless of the specific ideology – create a negative expectancy violation that decreases funding performance. As source credibility is a central boundary condition for expectancy violation theory predictions, we also suggest this relationship is mitigated by three indicators of entrepreneurial credibility: prior successful experience, media usage, and third-party endorsements. Using a sample of 19,898 Kickstarter campaigns and a randomized experiment, we find support for our theoretical predictions.
