Under a Creative Commons license Open access Highlights• Entrepreneurial resourcefulness is an essential aspect of entrepreneurship that merits further research. •Resourcefulness is a boundary-breaking behavior of creatively bringing resources to bear and deploying them to create value. •The special issue on entrepreneurial resourcefulness expand scholarship in each of the three agreas above. •There are opportunities to better understand resourcefulness as detailed in a research agenda. AbstractEntrepreneurial resourcefulness is a concept that resonates with practitioners and scholars alike from a diverse set of theoretical and empirical backgrounds. Despite the prevalence and promise of this concept, the literature on entrepreneurial resourcefulness is fragmented and lacks cohesion in how it is labeled, conceptualized, measured, and deployed. In many cases, it appears that bringing resources to bear for entrepreneurial purposes is taken for granted, which limits theoretical development of if and how ventures emerge and grow. In this editorial, we explore the theoretical underpinnings of resourcefulness, offer a definition, and provide a roadmap for future scholarship. In addition, we introduce the six articles that comprise the Special Issue on entrepreneurial resourcefulness, discuss their contributions, and explore how they relate to our overall perspective on resources and resourcefulness. It is our hope that this Special Issue will mobilize additional scholarship to enhance our knowledge on resourcefulness, which we view as a fundamental part of entrepreneurship.

Mind Your Ethics Directions: Read and analyze the article below and then answer the guide questions that follow. Write your answers on a one whole sheet of paper. YOUR READINESS CHECKYOUR INITIAL TASKEthics in Qualitative Research Ethical issues are present in any kind of research. The research process creates tension between the aims of research to make generalizations for the good of others and the rights of participants to maintain privacy. Ethics pertains to doing good and avoiding harm. Harm can be prevented or reduced through the application of appropriate ethical principles. Thus, the protection of human subjects or participants in any research study is imperative. Violations of human rights in the name of scientific research have been among the darkest events in history. From 1932-1972 more than 400 African American people who had syphilis were deliberately left untreated to study the illness. Although the Tuskegee syphilis study was sponsored by United States Public Health Service, the disclosure of the 40-year study caused public outrage (Caplan, 1992). Another example of unethical research is the experiment conducted between 1950-1952 in which more than 1,000 pregnant women were given diethylstilboestrol to prevent miscarriages. These women were subject to a double-blind study without consent. Only 20 years later, when the children of these women had high rates of cancer and other abnormalities did the participants learn they were subjects of these experiments (Capron, 1989). Guide Questions
The nature of ethical problems in qualitative research studies is subtle and different compared to problems in quantitative research. For example, potential ethical conflicts exist in regard to how a researcher gains access to a community group and the effects the researcher may have on participants. The literature provides few examples of ethical issues in qualitative health research. Punch (1994) claimed that one hardly ever hears of ethical failures in qualitative research. However, Batchelor and Briggs (1994) claimed that the failure of researchers to address ethical issues has resulted in those researchers being ill-prepared to cope with the unpredictable nature of qualitative research. Qualitative researchers focus their research on exploring, examining, and describing people and their natural environments. Embedded in qualitative research are the concepts of relationships and power between researchers and participants. The desire to participate in a research study depends upon a participant’s willingness to share his or her experience. Nurse researchers have to balance research principles as well as the well-being of clients (Ramos, 1989). Qualitative health research is focused on the experiences of people in relation to health and illness. Yet nurse researchers may find that their roles as researchers and as clinicians may be in conflict. Qualitative studies are frequently conducted in settings involving the participation of people in their everyday environments. Therefore, any research that includes people requires an awareness of the ethical issues that may be derived from such interactions. Ethics in health research includes appropriateness of the research design, the methodological design, and the funding sources, as well as behaviors in reporting data. The purpose of this paper is to show these and related ethical issues and ethical principles to be used in qualitative research. Source: Ethics in Qualitative Research by A. Orb, L. Eisenhauer, and D. Wynaden (2000)
The Research ProcessResearch is a process that requires patience and thought. There is no easy way to make certain that you have exhausted every resource and found the best research. Research is more of an art rather than a science. Below is a diagrammatic presentation of the steps taken when doing research. Define Research Problem Review the Literature Formulate the Hypothesis Design Collect Data Research Analyze Data Interpret and Report Step One: Define the Research Problem The first step in research process is to develop a research question. This can be a problem that needs to be solved or some piece of information that is missing about a particular topic. Answering this question will be the focus of the research study.(Offord Centre for Child Studies, 2017) Step Two: Review the Literature The researchers must now learn more about the topic they are investigating. This not only provides important background information about the issue they are researching., but it also tells them what other studies have already been conducted, how they were designed, and what those studies found. In research, you often do not want to repeat old studies, but rather add something new to the field. (Offord Centre for Child Studies, 2017;Cornell University Library,2016) Step Three: Formulate the Hypothesis The hypothesis is a clear statement of what is intended to be investigated. It should be specified before research is conducted and openly stated in reporting the results. Step Four: Design Research The research design refers to the overall strategy that you choose to integrate the different components of the study in a coherent and logical way, thereby, ensuring you will effectively address the research problem; it constitutes the blueprint for the collection, measurement, and analysis of data. Step Five: Collect Data The collection of data is a critical step in providing the information needed to answer the research question. Every study includes the collection of some type of data-whether it is from the literature or from subjects –to answer the research question. (Blankenship, 2010)Depending on the plan of the research, data can be collected in the form of words on a survey , with a questionnaire, through observations, or from the literature.(Offord Centre for Child Studies, 2017; Human Kinetics, 2017) Step Six: Analyze Data Analysis of data plays an important role in the achievement of research aim and objectives. (Dudovskiy, 2016) Once the data have been collected , these must be analyzed in order to answer the original research question. Step Seven: Interpret and Report In this final part, you will have to justify why you think that research aims and objectives have been achieved. (Dudovskiy, 2016) Profread the paper you have created and report the results. There are different ways to share the results of your research, among them is by publication either in print or on the internet. Another is by sending or submitting the research report to those persons concerned or stakeholders such as policy makers, government officials, company or business executives, etc. Another way to share the results of your research is through a colloquium where the researcher presents orally the research report to an audience or to the public. Let’s see if you have learned something from that. Answer the following activities. Social Responsibility: Strive to promote social good and prevent or mitigate social harms through research, public education, and advocacy. Non-Discrimination: Avoid discrimination against colleagues or students on the basis of sex, race, ethnicity, or other factors that are not related to their scientific competence and integrity. Competence: Maintain and improve your own professional competence and expertise through lifelong education and learning; take steps to promote competence in science as a whole. Legality: Know and obey relevant laws and institutional and governmental policies. Animal Care: Show proper respect and care for animals when using them in research. Do not conduct unnecessary or poorly designed animal experiments. Human Subjects Protection: When conducting research on human subjects, minimize harms and risks and maximize benefits; respect human dignity, privacy, and autonomy.
