The issue of the relationship between a rural entrepreneur and a place in rural entrepreneurship research

Summary/Abstract: Rural entrepreneurship has become a prevalent research topic in Polish and foreign literature in recent years. However, there is a noticeable lack of conceptual and methodological approaches, especially concerning the new way of understanding the term rural entrepreneurship, with an overrepresentation of positivist approaches. Therefore, the article focuses on presenting research results related to the literature analysis on rural entrepreneurship, particularly in terms of its contemporary understanding and research methods. The article is theoretical and methodological and was based on a literature search on the subject taken from databases, i.e. Scopus and Web of Science. The analysis made it clear that since the mid-2000s, there has been a significant increase in interest in the issue of rural entrepreneurship. However, it is interpreted differently in Poland and abroad. Consequently, the research in this field shows significant differences. In the face of the paradigm shift and the turn in understanding rural entrepreneurship that has taken place in the world literature, the article proposes an original model of rural entrepreneurship based on the relationship between a rural entrepreneur and the place. Although it still requires empirical verification, it can be a beneficial research pattern, useful not only for understanding the mechanism of functioning of rural entrepreneurship but also for determining the factors that govern its development in the context of the relationship between a rural entrepreneur and the place. The conclusions from the work also have application value because the proposed model can be helpful for decision -makers (mainly local government authorities, especially of rural communes) in formulating planning and strategic documents
