Investigation of The Role of Resilience Amongst Disadvantaged Entrepreneurs Through The Lens of Effectual Logic Shrivastava, Umesh Entrepreneurship has been understood by scholars as something magnificent which leads to a novel economic ecosystem. However, depending upon different streams, different scholars have understood entrepreneurship in social context, with regards to cognition, behavior, personality, etc. While there are significant studies in the extant literature that focus on the bright side of entrepreneurship, there are a few that discuss stress (Alstete, 2008) relating to cognition and behavior (Hmieleski et al., 2008), effects of external environment resulting in physical fatigue (Burger, 2008), grief (Shepherd et al., 2009), and entrepreneurship causing health issues (Burger, 2008). With known knowledge of entrepreneurship’s murky side, the confidence of an individual to pursue his/her entrepreneurial venture largely depends upon his/her cognition and formative years and especially the disadvantage, if any, with which he/she has lived through the years that results in a resilient behavior (Fisher, 2011). Entrepreneurs face obstacles daily and if one is a disadvantaged entrepreneur, the magnitude increases manifolds (Burt, 2019). Disadvantage of an individual can stem from various factors viz. natural causes like earthquake, tsunami, etc., from political turmoil, immigration, race, color, marginalization, gender and in countries like India where caste system is prevalent, a disadvantaged entrepreneur might find himself/herself at the helm of it facing social exclusion and neglect. At the core of this discussion, lies the fact that early experiences of social exclusion may trigger some individuals to become entrepreneurs and change things around them (Fisher, 2011). How they start their entrepreneurial journey may have some connection to entrepreneurial logic of effectual action, and resilience of a disadvantaged entrepreneur.

A Theoretical Framework to Analyze The Aspects of Internal and External Environment in Innovation Adaptation in Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) Aggarwal, Ansita Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) have been regarded as the driving force behind economic development worldwide. They also provide resources, critical components, and backward linkages to large-scale industries, serving them as an auxiliary. MSMEs are typically labor-intensive, creating job opportunities for an ever-increasing population of India. They are also suitable for Indian farmers who require seasonal employment. The sector’s goal is to help people break down the cycle of poverty, unemployment, and injustice, instead of using the welfare method. The MSMEs’ performance has caused the majority of the current economic growth (Gupta & Barua, 2016; Vrgovic et al.., 2012). In developing nations such as India, there are many roadblocks for large organizations to join any industry. Roadblocks can relate to limited resources, labor issues, etc. Small businesses have a golden opportunity in those economies to become productive and achieve overall industrial growth (Vrgovic et al.., 2012; Biswas et al.., 2007).
