Spatial embeddedness in indigenous rural entrepreneurship: a systematic literature review

Mauro Vivaldini, Victor Silva Corrêa · 2025 · Journal of Enterprising Communities People and Places in the Global Economy

Summary. Indigenous entrepreneurs succeed by building strong internal ties within their close social networks while simultaneously creating external connections across different networks. The paper reviews 14 years of research and finds that spatial embeddedness—how location shapes entrepreneurial networks—remains largely unexplored in indigenous entrepreneurship literature. The authors argue that understanding entrepreneurs as spatially embedded agents offers new insights for indigenous rural business development.
