- Organizational emergence theory: addressing invisible conflicts and emerging dynamics in entrepreneurshipPublication . Leite, Eduardo Manuel de Almeida; Audretsch, David; Leite, EduardoAbstract This study presents the Theory of Organisational Emergence (TOE), an interdisciplinary framework for understanding non-linear dynamics, emergent resilience, and invisible conflicts in entrepreneurial settings. TOE integrates Interacting Q’s and the PIE model (Politics, Ideology, Economy) to address gaps in established theories like Dynamic Capabilities and Effectuation. Through a qualitative analysis of the House of Mendes and Tesla Inc., TOE demonstrates how organisations adapt under systemic pressures. The framework also provides a practical diagnostic toolkit to detect tensions, simulate disruptions, and inform strategic action. By bridging theory and application, TOE offers a novel and actionable perspective for navigating uncertainty, fostering innovation, and enhancing resilience in complex environments. It equips organisations with tools to thrive amid systemic volatility and institutional complexity.
- Redefining entrepreneurship: philosophical insights in a post-individualist eraPublication . Leite, Eduardo Manuel de Almeida; Audretsch, David; Leite, AnaIn the dynamic landscape of post-individualist entrepreneurship, this study delves into the profound interplay between philosophy and entrepreneurship. Guided by foundational philosophical tenets, including Spinoza’s ‘conatus’ and ‘affects’, Schopenhauer’s asceticism, and Nietzsche’s diverse perspectives, their implications for modern entrepreneurship are dissected. Employing a critical and analytical approach, the convergence and divergence between philosophy and entrepreneurship are explored. The methodology integrates philosophical works, entrepreneurship theories and social network concepts to unveil fresh insights into contemporary entrepreneurial behaviour. This study not only identifies significant resonances between these philosophical underpinnings and entrepreneurship but also confronts the challenges posed by philosophical contrasts. For instance, while Spinoza’s concept of ‘conatus’ resonates with the entrepreneurial drive for innovation and perseverance, Schopenhauer’s asceticism introduces a contrasting perspective, questioning the sustainability of entrepreneurial desires in the face of materialism and temporary gains. This juxtaposition challenges individuals to reevaluate the essence of entrepreneurial success, suggesting that it extends beyond mere financial gain to include deeper satisfaction and a more meaningful purpose that transcends fleeting desires. The study’s results offer tangible benefits for entrepreneurs, illuminating the emotional complexities, ethical implications and the intricate dynamics within entrepreneurial networks.
