政策制定者通常将创业视为不发达的“金字塔底部”（BOP）地区实现包容性增长的灵丹妙药，但它也可能导致意想不到的负面后果，如犯罪和社会排斥。我们的目标是提高对创业政策如何促进BOP社会包容性增长的理解。根据从具有不同创业、创新和社会包容政策的巴西旅游目的地收集的数据，我们认为，薄弱的制度加上警惕的企业家会鼓励破坏性的结果，特别是在创业政策仅基于经济指标的情况下。解决经济和社会问题的政策可能会促进更富有成效的创业成果，尽管经济发展速度受到更多限制。该研究通过考察穷人作为企业家、地方创新的作用以及创业政策如何在贫困社区产生不同的社会影响，扩展了相关的BOP、企业家精神、全球价值链和可持续旅游的文献。
Policy makers often see entrepreneurship as a panacea for inclusive growth in underdeveloped ‘Base of the Pyramid’ (BOP) regions, but it may also lead to unanticipated negative outcomes such as crime and social exclusion. Our objective is to improve the understanding of how entrepreneurship policies can lead to socially inclusive growth at the BOP. Drawing on data collected from Brazilian tourism destinations with varying entrepreneurship, innovation, and social inclusion policies, we argue that weak institutions coupled with alert entrepreneurs encourage destructive outcomes, especially if entrepreneurship policies are based solely on economic indicators. Policies addressing both economic and social perspectives may foster more productive entrepreneurial outcomes, albeit at a more constrained economic pace. The study extends the related BOP, entrepreneurship, global value chain, and sustainable tourism literatures by examining the poor as entrepreneurs, the role of local innovation, and how entrepreneurship policies generate different social impacts within poor communities.
