Are you following recipes? Mapping about the phenomenon “entrepreneurship on stage” in web reports

Abstract

Studies and research on respect for entrepreneurship have increased over time. However, the interest on this topic goes beyond the academic environment, appearing in the business media. Thus, it is possible to verify the phenomenon “entrepreneurship on stage”, which recently gained space in the business world. The general objective of this article is to map through reports released on the internet, on Brazilian websites, reports that have been addressed about this phenomenon. It is expected that when analyzing the content of these reports, it will be possible to obtain relevant data to encourage a discussion on the respect of this theme. The study presents a qualitative and exploratory approach. As a data analysis technique, use content analysis, under Bardin's precepts. The results presented are discussed according to the categories of analysis: definitions of stage entrepreneurship; fake promises; entrepreneurship as self-help; dream industry; focus on concrete tools. Thus, it was identified that the reporting approach is aimed at alerting readers about the widespread content of entrepreneurship, showing that there is a great motivational appeal, to the detriment of concepts and practices with theoretical-scientific basis. In this sense, it is clear that, through “entrepreneurship on stage”, ideas are misunderstood in terms of respect for entrepreneurship, as it presents “ready-made recipes” that show how suffering is, the desired goals that are achieved. It then presents an idea that the same configuration is suitable for all people and companies.
