The entrepreneur–opportunity nexus: discovering the forces that promote product innovations in rural micro-tourism firms

Jonathan Moshe Yachin · 2017 · Scandinavian Journal of Hospitality and Tourism

Summary. This study examines what drives product innovation in small rural tourism businesses by analyzing 40 new tourism products created by micro-firm owners in rural Sweden. The research identifies three types of forces that trigger innovation: internal factors within the firm, supply chain dynamics, and reactions to external changes. The findings show that entrepreneurial opportunities emerge through a specific nexus between entrepreneurs and opportunities, with triggering forces playing a critical role in initiating the innovation process.
