Abstract (English): With the growth of activism in our societies, research has begun to explore the possible links between activism and entrepreneurship. Three main streams of research - social entrepreneurship, institutional entrepreneurship, and sustainable entrepreneurship - have already approached the links between activism and entrepreneurship. Reinterpreting an emblematic case from each research stream through an activist lens allows us to identify previously untheorized elements. The result is an integrative framework for the phenomenon of activist entrepreneurship organized around three main components: 1) cause advocacy; 2) community generation; 3) boundless action. The framework provides a common reading grid for all phenomena combining activism and entrepreneurship. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (French): Avec le développement de l'activisme dans nos sociétés, la recherche a commencé à explorer les liens existants entre l'activisme et l'entrepreneuriat. Trois courants de recherche majeurs - entrepreneuriat social, entrepreneuriat institutionnel et entrepreneuriat durable - ont déjà approché ces liens. La réinterprétation d'un cas emblématique de chacun de ces courants de recherche dans une perspective purement activiste nous permet d'identifier des éléments qui n'avaient pas été théorisés auparavant. Un cadre intégratif du phénomène de l'entrepreneuriat activiste en découle; il s'articule autour de trois composantes principales: 1) défense d'une cause; 2) création d'une communauté; 3) action sans frontière. Ce cadre fournit une grille de lecture commune pour tous les phénomènes combinant l'activisme et l'entrepreneuriat. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
