| Abstract: | Generational relations and entrepreneurialism in organizations are attracting increasing attention from organizational scholars. These areas of interest are bridged in this paper by examining how entrepreneurial identity is shaped by generational encounters within a small organization context. In so doing, it contributes to ongoing challenges to the scientistic orthodoxy regarding the formation of entrepreneurial persons. Evidence from an ethnographic study of two joint owner-managers in the port fendering industry is presented. |
