Must innovation and entrepreneurship results in the demolition of old buildings? When demolition occurs, what is destroyed is not just an object, but also the cultural context embedded within it. Objects do not merely possess substance, but also spirit. Blindly demolishing buildings may also destroy a cultural fabric consisting of people's relationships, feelings, and lives. Entrepreneurship should not necessarily involve the removal and replacement of existing objects, and should consist of the way in which the entrepreneur interacts with an object, and is involved in a learning process. This paper recounts the stories of how the two startup businesses ''Yuan'' and ''Piefee coffee shop'' made innovative use of old buildings, and relies on philosophical and entrepreneurial perspectives to engage in a dialogue between theory and the case studies. The study discovered that listening and interpretation constitute two methods of subjective intervention that can be used to bring about innovation. If entrepreneurs have the wisdom to make alternating use of these two types of subjective intervention, they can develop new life and new meaning for the entrepreneurs and objects. Philosophical thinking and entrepreneurial practice are used in analysis and comparison of these two cases, yielding four discoveries: First, subjective intervention in objects has the two pathways of listening and interpretation. Second, this expresses the innovative process by which interpretation and listening intervene in spaces in alternating fashion. Third, entrepreneurship does not consist of destroying an object, but rather actively extracting the object's meeting. Fourth, the entrepreneurial spirit consists of creativity, creation of differences, and creation of convenience. Finally, this study's findings have significant implication for theoretical stream and management practice. |
