  • QUALITATIVE ENTREPRENEURSHIP AUTHORSHIP: ANTECEDENTS, PROCESSES AND CONSEQUENCES

    May 1, 2013 Editor 0

    Abstract

    Purpose – This paper reports on a systematic review of the writing practices and experiences of scholars who have published qualitative papers in the field of entrepreneurship. It evaluates existing knowledge about how ‘well-published’ entrepreneurship scholars go about writing up qualitative research. It identifies good practices in qualitative research authorship as self-described by authors. It identifies the antecedents, processes, and consequences of qualitative research authorship as self-described by authors.

    Design/methodology/approach – Scholars who had published qualitative papers in five top ranked entrepreneurship journals over a twenty year period, were asked to complete a qualitative survey about their writing practices. A qualitative analysis of 37 usable replies was undertaken.

    Findings – Entrepreneurship scholars perceive their qualitative research writing to be more enriching and philosophical than quantitative research. Although they feel strong connections with their research subjects, they find qualitative research difficult and time consuming to write up. It is hard to bridge the gap between working with large amounts of transcribed data and the editorial requirements of journals, without losing the vitality of data. Qualitative research and subsequent writing skills have often been learned by trial and error. Many are inspired by specific texts, which may include novels, poems or plays.

    Research limitations/implications – This work shows how useful it is to discuss qualitative writing processes so that we may learn from the “blood, toil, tears and sweat” of those who have already successfully navigated both the writing and publishing of qualitative research.

    Originality/value – Although there is a vigorous debate within the Entrepreneurship literature about the prevalence and suitability of different methods and methodological approaches, there is no explicit discussion of how researchers engage with writing up qualitative research for publication. The paper addresses this gap and shares insights and guidance from our community of practice.
