Abstract: The entrepreneurial context in China is changing due to the emerging industry has become an important force in driving economic transition. As the ventures started in emerging industry are increasing and team entrepreneurship has become a trend, the prior entrepreneurial learning theory faces a new challenge as it focused on the traditional industry and individual learning. To address this gap, the paper proposed a new concept named entrepreneurial action learning that based on entrepreneurial learning and action learning theory. The new concept was defined as the process that entrepreneurs learn from resolving entrepreneurial problems/challenges by the means of social interactions. Then the research designed a conceptual model encompassing four phases and carried out a multi-case study to refine it. Results showed that the process of entrepreneurial action learning was a spiral model that contained experience search, interactive reflection, systematic integration and action verification which were driven by entrepreneurial problems. The paper discussed the role of these elements played in the learning mechanism.

摘要： 随着新兴产业成为经济转型的重要动力，我国创业情境特征在发生变化：创业领域向新兴产业转移；经营模式往团队项目形式发展。聚焦于传统行业和个体学习行为的创业学习理论面临新挑战，创业学习的概念模型需要修正。基于创业学习与行动学习理论，本文提出创业行动学习新构思：创业者通过社会互动方式来解决创业问题进而促进学习的过程。遵循亲验学习理论，本文建构创业行动学习的过程框架，并采用多案例研究方法提炼该概念模型。通过对新兴产业三个创业案例的长期跟踪研究发现：创业行动学习受创业问题驱动，是由体验搜集、交互反思、系统整合和行动验证四个要素组成的螺旋上升模型。文章最后深入讨论该过程模型产生学习效果的机理。
