Resumen

Esta investigación tiene como objetivo elaborar un enfoque sistémico y holístico del desarrollo

del espíritu empresarial, en relación con la compleja interacción de factores culturales y

económicos. Los objetivos de la investigación incluyen proponer un nuevo paradigma

económico y cultural para estudiar el espíritu empresarial y fundamentar la disposición sobre la

naturaleza endógena de la relación entre cultura y empresa. La hipótesis de investigación

implica el supuesto de que la cultura económica debe considerarse como un marco de apoyo de

una sola realidad económica, y la cultura empresarial debe considerarse como la estructura

principal de los modelos de comportamiento empresarial. Los métodos de investigación se

basan en el análisis y la comparación de las teorías convencionales y alternativas, en cuyo marco

se formaron las ideas sobre la actividad empresarial. Se propuso una metodología alternativa

que surgió bajo la influencia del giro cognitivo-cultural en las ciencias sociales basada en la

complementariedad de los enfoques estructural-funcional y comunicativo-semántico. El

significado conceptual de esta metodología es aclarar el papel de la cultura como factor

vertebrador en el desarrollo de la actividad emprendedora. La relevancia del estudio está

determinada por el cambio en la naturaleza y los mecanismos de las actividades empresariales,

Abstract

This research is aimed at working out a systemic and holistic approach to entrepreneurship

development, regarding the complex interaction of cultural and economic factors. The research

objectives include proposing a new economic and cultural paradigm to study entrepreneurship

and to substantiate the provision on the endogenous nature of the relationship between culture

and business. The research hypothesis implies the assumption that economic culture should be

considered as a supporting frame of a single economic reality, and entrepreneurial culture

should be regarded as a backbone structure of entrepreneurial behavior models. The research

methods are based on the analysis and comparison of the mainstream and alternative theories,

within the framework of which ideas about entrepreneurial activity were formed. An alternative

methodology was proposed that arose under the influence of the cognitive-cultural turn in the

social sciences based on the complementarity of the structural-functional and communicative-

semantic approaches. The conceptual meaning of this methodology is to clarify the role of

culture as a backbone factor in the development of the entrepreneurial activity. The relevance

of the study is determined by the change in the nature and mechanisms of entrepreneurial

activities, the growing role of culture in the economy, and the lack of satisfactory theoretical

and methodological approaches.

Keywords: methodology, culture, entrepreneurship, paradigm, mainstream.

Introduction

Current qualitative changes in the development of national economies are caused by

profound changes in the conditions of economic activities, their nature, and implementation

mechanisms. They are accompanied by the emergence of a new system of interrelated factors,

driven by the growing importance of knowledge and innovation to increase productivity and

create sustainable competitive advantages (Alesina & Giuliano, 2016; Atkin, 2016; Barsbai,

Rapoport, Steinmayr, & Trebesch, 2017). Nowadays, an ever-increasing number of

representatives of heterodox economics are inclined to believe that the problem of the proper

inclusion of culture in the economy is determined primarily by the development of a scientific

worldview of economic reality and the appropriate system of principles employed by the

economics to study its aspect of the integral world of social reality. According to Phillip O’Hara

(2009), the analysis of the role of culture in the socio-economic process is the starting point of

circular and cumulative causality. It is necessary to realize the importance of ideology, values,

various norms, and customs. We will be able to give precise wording to stylized facts at the

level of technology if we understand the causal links between the assessment of reality by

economic agents and the relationship between them.

The evolution of economics over the past century was accompanied by its division into

two coexisting and weakly interacting parts – the dominant and alternative theories, in which

ideas about entrepreneurship were formed (Biryukov, 2016; Akhmetshin & Gayazova, 2017).

At the same time, it acquired a complex structure as a result of differentiation of the subject

area and fragmentation of knowledge, covering various aspects of economic life and differing

in methodological status and research methods, the degree of reliability, and practical

significance. Concurrently, none of the competing research programs has been able to offer a

holistic and fairly complete picture of the economy, taking into account the complex interaction

of cultural and institutional factors (Biryukov and Romanenko, 2017a). Many researchers

consider the current state of the economy as a crisis caused by the need to revise the research

paradigm that has become established in the mainstream. They see a way out of the crisis of

conventional teachings in the creation of a new theory that can combine economic and cultural

value-based components since axiological problems affect the essence of economic

constructions (Alesina, 2016; Frolov, 2016; Biryukov, 2016).

In these conditions, it is very important to develop a systematic and holistic approach to

entrepreneurship development, taking into account the complex interaction of cultural and

economic factors and the endogenous nature of the relationship between culture and

entrepreneurship.

Literature review

Currently, the significance of culture is generally recognized. Many contemporary

studies empirically show that the peculiarities of culture significantly affect the results of

economic activities, the development of the national economy, and economic exchange (Guiso

et al., 2006; Guiso et al., 2009; Fernandez, 2008; Fernandez, 2010); innovation and knowledge

management at the national and organizational levels (Couto and Vieira, 2004; King, 2007; Ang

and Massingham, 2007; Kaywozth and Leidner, 2004); and economic performance of

individuals and firms (Algan and Cahuc, 2014).

Subsequent to the dominance of ideas that arose under the influence of distancing from

the cultural measurement of the economy in current economics, various concepts have spread

which are based on the interpretation of the exogenous relationship between the cultural and

economic spheres of human activities (Biryukov and Romanenko, 2017b; Akhmetshin and

Gayazova, 2017). Conceptual features of advanced approaches to the study of entrepreneurship

are determined by the principle of methodological individualism that underlies the basic

economic theory. In these conditions, the search for a meaningful answer to the causes and

motivational-behavioral mechanisms of entrepreneurial activity inevitably reveals the

inadequacy of standard tools, actively used concepts, and economic models, which are usually

based on the theory of rational choice of individualistic methodology (Kurniady, Komariah, and

Karnati, 2019).

Within the framework of heterodox leadership based on the methodology of holism,

several structural theories arose in which culture was recognized as a key structural

phenomenon, and its relationship with economic behavior seemed to be endogenous (Tahir,

Hattab, and Mappatoba, 2020). At the same time, hyper-deterministic interpretations of the role

of cultural factors developed, which presented cultural values that shaped economic behavior

as being outside the boundaries of the subjects’ initiative and decisions (Williamson, 1965).

The limitations of established approaches based on the absolutization of the

individualism and holism methodologies required the development of a broader economic and

cultural paradigm supported by the ideas arising from the cognitive and cultural turn in the

social sciences and associated with the formation of a methodological paradigm. In economics,

the methodological “turn to culture” implies a break with positivism, which dominated in the

cognitive domain for most of the 20th century. This turnaround of the last decade has allowed

the humanities and social sciences to rethink the tools of methodological research and

conceptual apparatus, and also contributed to the emergence of new cognitive domains.

Fukuyama (2004) sees a way out of the current situation of economic science in the

following: a modern economic theory should withdraw as far as possible from the narrowness

of the neoclassical version and return to the classical scope, considering how culture affects

human behavior in general and economic behavior in particular. Today, as Lal (2007) notes,

many theoretical economists find the issue of culture and economic development vague,

confusing, and stupid, although professionals involved in elaborating economic development

programs emphasize the significance of culture.

Current social practice has mainstreamed a new class of complicated socio-economic

problems, the scale of which exceeds the gnoseological capabilities of special sciences. And, in

this regard, it becomes increasingly important to study society as a self-developing and complex

whole, established by the category “culture”. The term “culture” is still not defined in economic

studies; in many publications, culture is considered as a phenomenon expressed in values,

preferences, or beliefs (Guiso et al., 2006). Over the past decade, the sociological, and

philosophical, and cultural literature provides the widespread understanding of culture as a

socio-code, a complex and historically developing system of supra-biological programs,

manifested in symbolic forms, which help preserve, disseminate and generate knowledge and

ideas about the world used for solving practical problems and adapting to the material and social

environment (Biryukov and Romanenko, 2017c). Values form the core of culture; mutual

understanding and interaction of business entities arise on their basis. Individual beliefs

acquired through cultural transmission are gradually updated as experience is being gained,

from generation to generation (Guiso et al., 2008).

Competing theories based on methodological individualism and holism fail to explain

the behavior of the economic agent, the national economy, and world markets. A satisfactory

solution to any economic and institutional problem requires going beyond these methodologies

and finding new boundaries. The proper inclusion of the cultural and axiological context in the

economic system can become such a new boundary in understanding economic reality, enabling

to regard changes in economics and entrepreneurial behavior as a manifestation of the cultural

process and the development of the value system as the core of culture (Saubanov and Nikolaev,

2018). According to Klamer (2003), today there is an alternative to the positivist vision of the

economy, focused exclusively on the theory of rational choice, and this alternative, in contrast

to the path of choice, plays the role of the path of values.

Methodology

An interdisciplinary methodology that combines the provisions of the theory of

synergetics and complex systems, socio-cultural systems and multicultural modernization,

social constructivism and communications, metaethics and the systemic-proactive concept;

methods of theoretical and empirical research (abstract-logical, and comparative-analytical

methods, interpretation, typologization, observation, grouping and generalization) form the

methodological background of the research. The study is based on the developed

methodological approach that provides a synthesis of the methodology of individualism and

holism and expands its problem field in accordance with the intersubjective nature of economic

reality (Hodgson, 2008; Biryukov, 2016). Within the framework of this methodological

approach, a new economic and cultural paradigm for the study of entrepreneurship was

proposed.

Results

The research is relevant because of the formed qualitatively new wave of global changes

in the national economy that is caused by an alteration of the nature and mechanisms for

entrepreneurial activities, the growing role of culture and its systemic impact on the formation

of the key parameters of economic processes.

A new economic and cultural paradigm for the study of entrepreneurship was proposed.

Significant progress has been made in understanding the phenomenon of entrepreneurship,

studying the functions of the entrepreneur, characteristics and features of his behavior. First,

the entrepreneur performs a valuable cognitive function. This function is related to the study

of the business environment and the identification of technological and market trends for to

get a systemic effect. Secondly, entrepreneurs’ functions involve the introduction of technical

and economic innovations based on the search for new opportunities and the formation of new

combinations of economic resources. Thirdly, the introduction of organizational and economic

innovations makes it possible to eliminate barriers and restrictions established by the level of

knowledge and existing forms of business organization. Fourth, entrepreneurs implement

cultural and axiological changes in the organization of relations in the internal and external

environment. Fifth, entrepreneurship serves as a special mechanism and vehicle for structural

changes in an innovative economy, which act as a factor of economic growth. Sixth,

entrepreneurs’ functions include the formation of the transformational path of the national

economy, a change in the models of its development, and a change in the type of

modernization.

The study showed that various agency theories are formed within the framework of the

economic “mainstream” based on the methodology of individualism. They cannot solve the

problem of endogenizing cultural variables because of their paradigmatic vision of the

specifics of structuring the space in which economic processes take place. These variables act

as exogenous factors in the environment of individual actions, although they are used as non-

economic variables to explain the influence of the cultural context.

Conclusions substantiated that agency theories inevitably interpret the role of culture to

a very limited extent – most often as one of the factors that represent an obstacle (barrier) and

affect the value of transaction costs in the implementation of innovative changes. At the same

time, the peculiarities of cultural and value-based orientations are not taken into account and

the fact that they can change and act as a powerful organizational resource is overlooked.

Within the framework of economic and cultural paradigm, the provision concerning the

endogenous nature of the ties of culture with economic behavior and entrepreneurial activity is

substantiated (Figure 1).

Figure 1. The relationship between culture, economy and entrepreneurship.

This allowed for determining the role of cultural and value tools in making

entrepreneurial choices and to identify the basis for building a holistic vision of the process of

forming motivational and behavioral mechanisms of entrepreneurship. The importance of the

influence of culture on the economic development of countries and companies, and cultural

factors and variables – on the implementation of certain business activities and making various

business decisions is proved. This made it possible to expand the subject area and meaningfully

interpret entrepreneurial activities as a special form of implementing the cultural process, to

deepen the existing ideas about the mechanism of the influence exerted by culture on the logic

of decision-making and entrepreneurs’ behavior.

Discussion

Guided by the complementarity of the structural-functional and communicative-

semantic approaches, we proposed an alternative to competing approaches based on the

methodology of individualism and holism. This methodology is based on ideas that arise under

the influence of the cognitive-cultural turn in the social sciences. The essential significance of

the proposed economic and cultural paradigm lies in clarifying the role of culture as a backbone

factor of business activities (Alesina & Giuliano, 2015; Boyer & Petersen, 2012; Caroll, 1996;

Schultz, 2001; Schwartz & Weber, 2006).

The proper inclusion of culture in economic processes is associated with a paradigmatic

revision of the traditional view that culture as a separate sphere of society’s life has external

exogenous connections with other spheres, including economics. As a result, their mutual

influence occurs. In contrast to the dominant theories of entrepreneurship and economic

development, which are based on the methodological principles that absolutize the autonomy

of culture and interpret its impact on the business as the influence of purely non-economic

factors, economic culture should be regarded as a supporting structure of a single economic

reality (Berger, 1994; Кlamer, 2003; North, 1997; Staveren, 2009; Fukuyama, 2004). We

should consider entrepreneurial culture as a special segment of economic reality and its culture

as a structure that forms systems of models of entrepreneurial behavior and complex

entrepreneurial practices.

As opposed to static, universalist, relativistic, linear-deterministic, and other simplified

concepts, culture today is perceived as a complex, multi-level and dynamic system that

manifests itself in various forms (national, economic, entrepreneurial, etc.). It provides the

reproduction and alteration of reality based on cultural creativity embodied in mental structures

containing elements of tradition and innovation. The economic culture of each country

characterizes the originality of the national culture, national peculiarities of the world cognition

and a model of thinking that combines values, cognitive and expressive (affective) elements

and absorbs accumulated experience and knowledge, all the variety of ideas, and various topics

about business processes (Ang & Massingham, 2007; Biryukov, 2018; Romanenko & Rakhuba,

2018). In the context of economic culture, three main mechanisms of its impact on the behavior

and communicative practices of corporate entities can be distinguished: subjective, local-

collective, and macro-collective, which are based on specific ways of semantic perception of

the value of economic reality and the decision-making process. The core of corporate culture is

a system of economic values. It is a particular economic culture of the country, and it plays a

crucial role in the formation and transformation of positive and negative elements of the general

appearance of economic culture, which in turn are significantly influenced by the latter

(Romanenko & Rakhuba, 2018).

Acting as a form of manifestation of collective consciousness, the entrepreneurial

culture combines general and individual elements that characterize the peculiarities of the

entrepreneur’s perception of systemic connections and trends in the economic reality. It

underlies the formation of expectations of possible target orientations and behavioral

characteristics of various actors. Since it is a complex and multidimensional phenomenon, the

culture of entrepreneurial activity characterizes the totality of mental and creative skills and

abilities associated with its implementation, a combination of knowledge, beliefs, values, and

ideological views acquired in the process of socialization. The culture of entrepreneurial activity

is a kind of a set of symbolic tools used by entrepreneurs in everyday life to increase the

production of added value based on the construction of innovative business ideas and business

programs concerning socio-cultural conditions and other structures.

Entrepreneurial activities are best manifested in characterizing an entrepreneur as a

subject. An entrepreneur can take risks and effectively combine factors of production on a

proactive and innovative basis, and with economic responsibility, aiming to obtain additional

income in the future through synergistic effects. The proposed economic and cultural paradigm

contributes to the formation of a systemic and holistic vision of entrepreneurship.

There are two approaches to the analysis of the content of business activity in current

conditions (Afanasieva, 2010). The first approach is that of linear equilibrium; it is based on a

closed chain “entrepreneur – company – environment for its development” and focuses

attention on the entrepreneurs and their activities in specific conditions of the business

environment. In this case, the entrepreneur is perceived as an objective factor that does not

change over time. This approach is justified in the terms of local “problems of survival”.

However, in passing to “development goals”, when the question arises why entrepreneurship is

developing dynamically in some countries and fails in others, the self-sufficiency of the

approach disappears.

The second approach is an interactive, non-linear, non-equilibrium, or synergistic one.

It draws attention to the interdependencies between the entrepreneur, the firm, and the business

environment. According to this approach, entrepreneurship is defined as the process of self-

renewal and self-organization of people and business, carried out in interaction with the micro-

and macro-environment of their functioning. The goal is to maximize the entrepreneur’s ability

to meet a complex of socio-economic needs within the uneven dynamic balance of conflicting

interests of the participants (individuals, business entities, and society as a whole). “An

entrepreneur is defined here as “a self-organized person with intuition, creative energy, ability

to be an innovator, patriot, and philanthropist, committed to the principles of social

responsibility” (Akhtyamov and Likholetov, 2008, p. 137). Most interpretations of the concept

of “entrepreneur” relate rather to people of a certain type than to professions. Hizrich and Brush

(1985) notes that entrepreneurs can be found in all areas – education, medicine, science, law,

architecture, manufacturing, social sphere, and distribution. “Entrepreneurship is the process of

Revista de Investigación Apuntes Universitarios

152

creating something new having some value; it is a time-and-effort-consuming process,

involving the assumption of financial, moral, and social responsibility; a process that results in

monetary income and personal satisfaction with what has been achieved” (p. 18).

In the modern economy, entrepreneurship is becoming the most important factor in

determining the success of the entire innovation cycle. The entrepreneurial function is

implemented at all stages of the innovation process, including functional and applied research,

development, implementation in production, and product replication. Nevertheless, it is

important to distinguish between the roles that the research engineer and the entrepreneur play

in the life cycle of creating and using innovations. According to Schumpeter (1982, p. 185),

“new discoveries and inventions are constantly replenishing the existing stock of knowledge...

The function of the inventor and general technician does not coincide with the function of the

entrepreneur. As such, an entrepreneur is not a spiritual creator of new combinations of

resources”.

Culture is the most important element of entrepreneurial activities and a prerequisite for

the normal functioning of an innovative economy. Increased activity is one of the most

important factors in economic growth. Entrepreneurship performs various functions, including

general economic ones, the introduction of technical and economic innovations, the

introduction of organizational and economic innovations, the provision of cultural and value-

based changes in the organization, the spread of local economic innovations, and the

transformation of models of national economic development (Biryukov, and Biryukova, 2010).

The role of entrepreneurship is implemented through these functions.

As Teece (2009) notes, the business management function is a new hybrid of business

management capitalism and includes identifying problems and trends, targeting resources,

changing organizational structures and systems to create and use technological capabilities to

meet consumers’ needs. To be successful, companies must create and use three classes of skills

(skills to recognize, explore, and change opportunities). If an entrepreneur is good at all three

abilities, the organization has much better chances of success.

The formation of a particular mode of production depends on the technologies used in

society; in turn, they are directly related to the knowledge accumulated and created in this

society. However, knowledge by itself does not yet lead to the emergence of new, more

advanced industries. The introduction of new technologies and the creation of a new product,

the emergence of a certain technical and economic structure largely depends on the

entrepreneurial talent of people who contribute to the creation of new technologies based on

certain knowledge and disseminate new technologies throughout the society and the culture of

entrepreneurial activities.

Conclusion

As a result of the research, an approach has been developed that provides a systemic and

holistic vision of entrepreneurship development, with special attention paid to cultural and

economic factors. The conceptual meaning of the developed economic and cultural paradigm

for the study of entrepreneurship lies in clarifying the role of culture as a backbone factor in the

development of entrepreneurial activities, which can be presented as a special form of the

implementation of the cultural process, enabling to deepen the existing understanding of the

mechanism for the culture to influence the logic of decision making and the entrepreneurs’

behavior.

The main provisions and conclusions presented in the article contribute to the expansion

of the problematic field and the deepening of theoretical ideas about culture as a special sphere

of society’s life, which has external links with the economy. These provisions and conclusions

can be used for the further development of theoretical and empirical research on this issue and

in practice when developing strategies and tactics that need to be implemented to improve the

effectiveness of economic policy and entrepreneurial activities.
