We then introduce a number of scholars that help us "sketch our alternative account of how artifacts mediate the creative interplay between inquiring humans and the worlds they inhabit".

But for this you have you to read the actual paper ;-)

The "venture" is still a quite abstract thing. We therefore distinguish between ventures and "entrepreneurial artifacts", i.e. the theories, prototypes and more tangible things that instantiate aspects of the emerging venture and are used to drive the venture development process forward.

Opportunity thus denotes circumstances that an entrepreneur believes are such that they can design a successful venture. However, it is the specific venture and its associated elements that the entrepreneur actually designs and aims to make work.

The active framing is key!

Interestingly, the idea that opportunities are actively framed situations is very similar to Shane's case examples. However, being constrained by the dual-nexus framework he was forced to theorize opportunities as objective (a pattern carried on by Ramoglou and others).

The emerging design perspective is based on a triadic framework that comprises individuals, artifacts, and environments. Artifacts include both ventures (the things entrepreneurs actively design) AND opportunities (the broader situations—as framed by entrepreneurs—within which this takes place).

As the title promises, we aim to ground and develop the design perspective in several ways. Below are some excerpts from the paper that illustrate the main points made.

First off, the dual-nexus framework has proven incoherent and problematic.

🚨🚨🚨 New paper alert! 🚨🚨🚨

"Grounding and Developing the Design Perspective on Entrepreneurship: from Individual-Opportunity Nexus to Artifact-Centered Triad", coauthored by me and Dimo Dimov, was just accepted for publication in Journal of Management Inquiry.

Looks about right. Perhaps stick to long-since-ended historical events?
