Abstract
This paper reviews and integrates research from both within and outside the entrepreneurship
field under the label of ‘situated cognition’. Situated cognition is the notion
that cognitive activity inherently involves perception and action in the context of a
human body situated in a real-world environment. The review concentrates on three
areas of the situated cognition literature that have significant implications for research
in entrepreneurial cognition: embedded, grounded and distributed cognition. While
these three aspects of cognition differ in terms of foci and core theses, they share the
common emphasis of viewing and investigating cognitive processes by going beyond the
individual mind and paying attention to the human body, (material) objects and other
people. Using the theoretical lens of situated cognition provides new insights into
current entrepreneurship phenomena such as co-creation and interaction in a shared
economy based on new technologies.
