摘要

The diverse nature of entrepreneurship often leads to conflicts when different models for an entrepreneurial ecosystem clash. These disagreements arise from diverging ideas about the goals and priorities needed to foster human flourishing. We explored the social dynamics and motivations behind these conflicts in the extremely rural setting of Puerto Natales, Chilean Patagonia. The city’s remoteness allowed us to analyze unique, place-based motivations among its residents. Using a multi-method approach, we identified three distinct stakeholder perspectives on rural entrepreneurship: policymakers, foreign resident entrepreneurs, and local entrepreneurs. These contrasting views influence which entrepreneurial activities are prioritized and how interventions are designed. Our findings emphasize that building effective rural ecosystems requires considering non-monetary metrics alongside traditional measures of success.
