... From a conceptual overlap approach between leadership and entrepreneurship (Roomi & Harrison, 2011), factors such as vision, influence, leadership of innovative and creative people, and planning (Cogliser & Brigham, 2004) stand out. From the perspective of personality traits and attributes or holistic vision, we find factors like achievement orientation, flexibility, passion, perseverance, overconfidence, stress resistance, assertiveness, competitiveness, opportunity detection, risk aversion, among others (Fernald et al., 2005;Harrison & Burnard, 2016;Nicholson, 1998;Renko et al., 2015;Vecchio, 2003). However, information on how these attributes have been able to help entrepreneurs to overcome challenges, whether they can be learned or exercised, and whether a gender prism has been identified, is insufficient to date Kempster & Cope, 2010). ...

... Besides one chapter that adopts a quantitative approach, the rest of the chapters locate their inquiry through a range of qualitative approaches. We may observe that qualitative inquiry, among other things, appears to be indicative of strong African traditions in locating the investigator within the real-world of local actors (Harrison, Paul, & Burnard, 2016;Harrison, Burnard, & Paul, 2018;Omeihe, Simba, Rae, Gustafsson, & Khan, 2021). The use of such an approach facilitates an analysis through which patterns in the data can be examined and explored (Harrison et al., 2016). ...
... The field of entrepreneurship is fast gaining attention and interest in the research domain as well as a central focus for government and policy makers. It is hardly surprising as the activities of entrepreneurship have been associated with growing economic development, wealth generation, job creation for the nation and increased level of innovation [1].

... This study uses Paul et al. (2007) findings on "communities of practices," where investors may understand the investment opportunity and firms' limitations. One may understand the audit plan as the primary information vehicle between auditors and audit requesters and use an approach based on studies on entrepreneurship in this respect (Karlsson & Honig, 2009;Sort & Nielsen, 2018). ...
... According to Sohl (2021), business angels' investors are a significant source of funding for entrepreneurs and early-stages technology-based firms.

Ainsi, le sponsor (Brimm, 1988;Maia & Claro, 2013), l'expert (Dedehayir et al., 2018;Goduscheit, 2014;Mansfeld et al., 2010) ou encore le gatekeeper (Aldrich & Herker, 1977;Haas, 2015;Paul & Whittam, 2010;Tushman, 1977) consubstantielle (Markham, 2000;Markham et al., 1991;Witte, 1977).
