    This paper proposes and tests a new conceptual framing for franchisee performance that draws on institutional complexity to explore the interaction of corporate, market, and relational logics of performance. Extant research draws on corporate and market logics to explain performance; however, this does not explain individual franchisee performance in complex institutional environments such as Base‐of‐the‐Pyramid (BoP) markets where relational logics may be more important, thereby limiting explanations of how franchisee outlets perform. Drawing on data from a network of 58 franchise outlets in the context of Kenya, we conduct a configurational analysis related to sales outcomes. We leverage fuzzy‐set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) to map out the conditions under which franchisees exhibit higher sales performance. Results show that three distinct configurations can lead to increased sales performance. Our results paint a nuanced picture of combinations of factors that result in franchisee success with relevance to the BoP context and beyond.

    Outcomes-based contracts and the hidden turn to public value management
    (2024)

    MUÑOZ ROMÁN, PABLO ANDRÉS  
    <jats:p> Despite long-standing criticisms of the paradigm, New Public Management (NPM) retains a strong influence over organizations in public administration. Social Impact Bonds (SIB) are an outcomes-oriented investment entity which has emerged from NPM with grand promises of social change. Building on a longitudinal case study of a health-based SIB, this paper identifies how key actors move away from NPM by resisting such management principles and shift toward Public Value Management (PVM). The paper finds that this is possible when the public interest and performance objectives are designed with a public value orientation whilst other NPM principles shift over time through resistance and negotiation. The paper provides insight into how key actors re-organize to embed public value in a financing and public service delivery structure that is often regarded as flawed and inefficient. The paper offers several contributions to public value literature, including the role of the state, as well as the emerging literature on SIBs and outcomes-based contracts. </jats:p>

    Entrepreneurship and financial inclusion through the lens of instrumental freedoms
    (2017)

    MUÑOZ ROMÁN, PABLO ANDRÉS  
    <jats:p> This article investigates the interrelated nature of instrumental freedoms and how they combine to engender financial inclusion among low-income entrepreneurs. Drawing from Sen’s capabilities approach, we emphasize a need for understanding the freedoms associated with institutional arrangements and the complex causal processes that lead to financial inclusion among micro-entrepreneurs. We perform a fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis of 19 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. The findings indicate four causal combinations for financial inclusion. Our findings indicate that no single instrumental freedom is necessary for financial inclusion; it does not necessarily depend on the provision of microfinance and that political freedom is an important peripheral condition for inclusion. This allows us to question some of the assumptions about how microfinance operates amid a set of complex institutional instrumental freedoms. </jats:p>

    Trans-contextual work: doing entrepreneurial contexts in the periphery

    <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>This study explores how entrepreneurs “do” contexts in peripheral areas. Through the examination of changes in roles, practices, and relationships across peripheral areas in Chile, we found that substantive transformations result from the momentary repurposing of systems of provision, types of inter-dependencies, and sources of reliance within public, community, and family contexts. Drawing from the perspective of interstitial spaces and extensive data, this is done through three interwoven interaction rituals: support seeking, neighboring, and nesting. We abductively theorize the connection between these rituals as <jats:italic>trans-contextual work</jats:italic>. As entrepreneurs do contexts through <jats:italic>trans-contextual work</jats:italic> new entrepreneurial ideas, practices and artifacts begin to reorganize community resources and transform the commune’s social into an entrepreneurial life. Our research expands the current understanding of contextual change in peripheral areas and contextualization in entrepreneurship more broadly.</jats:p>

    Sensemaking the ‘social’ in social entrepreneurship
    (2018)

    MUÑOZ ROMÁN, PABLO ANDRÉS  
    <jats:p> In the collective imagination, the practices and outcomes of social entrepreneurship seem to hold hope for a better future. So far, these practices have been largely assumed as idealised types with the ‘social’ in social entrepreneurship underexplored. Such assumed neutrality, we argue, is hampering the development of a more robust theoretical corpus for understanding the phenomenon and inspiring practices that are more effective. In this article, we analyse the sensemaking of the social in social entrepreneurship by exploring the ways in which social entrepreneurs make sense of social problems and develop solutions for addressing them. Our empirical analyses of the stories of 15 social entrepreneurs indicate two distinct types of sensemaking and sensegiving practices, aligned with Amartya Sen’s notions of social justice. Drawing on these findings, sensemaking and social justice theory, we elaborate a two-type social sensemaking model pertaining to the appreciation and assessment of circumstances and the differing problem/solution combinations emerging from alternative ontological views of what constitutes a social problem. </jats:p>
