Expanding entrepreneurial solution spaces in times of crisis: Business model experimentation amongst packaged food and beverage ventures 2020-11-30 .txt text/plain 6817 288 37 Examining 844 social media posts of 66 ventures between March and May 2020 and interviewing 17 of these ventures, we found ventures to experiment with new business model variations, which not only expanded their set of solutions directly, but resulted in action-based learning leading to longer-term changes and increased capabilities for subsequent value creation. The current study sheds light into how entrepreneurs can experiment with new opportunities and business models to expand entrepreneurial solution spaces in such times of wide-spread collective crisis, examining the activities of packaged food and beverage ventures during the Covid-19 pandemic in Finland. Although further research into the post-crisis effects of such solution space expansions, as well as if, when and how new capabilities are subsequently put to use for business model innovation is still needed, at its best, entrepreneurial experimentation can create new value, capabilities and lasting resilience for both ventures and those in their ecosystem. ./cache/cord-285435-fu90vb2z.txt ./txt/cord-285435-fu90vb2z.txt
