Value Creation in Start-Up Discourse: Linking Pitch and Venture Through Logics of Justification
(2023) Varas, German; Sabaj-Meruane, Omar; Cabezas, Paula; Spinuzzi, Clay; Fuentes, Miguel; Gerard, Valentin
How do start-ups create value through the language of their business pitches? In this article, we investigate that question by identifying the logics of justification they use, traditionally conceptualized as orders of worth. In this study of short written pitches in a 6-month Chilean accelerator program, we describe how we detected logics of justification through pitch language, and we identify (a) co-occurrence patterns among logics of justification, (b) associations between logics of justification and industry sectors, and (c) associations between logics and a firm’s customer segment (B2B, B2C). This study provides unique insights into how start-ups sometimes justify innovations by using specific patterns of language depending on a venture’s features.
“The Basis of Aaaalll of Our Program!” The Start-Up Chile Playbook as Metagenre
(IEEE, 2023) Sabaj-Meruane, Omar; Spinuzzi, Clay; Varas, German; Cabezas, Paula; Gerard, Valentin
Background: Following previous professional communication research into entrepreneurship, we examine key genres of a specific business accelerator, Start-Up Chile (SUP). Through a triangulated study of interviews, texts, and videos, we examine how the Playbook serves as a regulatory metagenre that represents the SUP experience to the participating firms. We find that aspects of the Playbook's representation are at odds with the other data, divergences that we argue emerge from a broader tension among SUP's stakeholders and goals. Literature review: We review the professional communication literature on entrepreneurship, literature on startups and accelerators, and on writing, activity, and genre research (WAGR). Specifically, we examine WAGR research on metagenres and professional identity formation. Research question: How does this successful international accelerator regularize the learning experience of its exceedingly diverse startups? Specifically, how does SUP regulate the startups' different experiences, reframing the experience of entrepreneurship and teaching these startups to form their professional identity as entrepreneurs? Research methodology: We structured this research as a qualitative case study of SUP. Data included documents, videos, interviews, and social media. We triangulated these data sources to identify points of convergence (in which different data sources supported the same assertions) and divergence (in which data sources contradicted each other). Results: SUP provides the Playbook and Newsletter as metagenres that regulate complex interactions among other genres and events, guiding firms into having roughly equivalent experiences as well as maintaining relationships among volunteers such as mentors. But the Playbook also reframes the experience of entrepreneurship so that it can fit into SUP's program: it reframes the cyclical entrepreneurship process as linear, and it reframes promises of future action as tracking of past actions.
Caracterización discursiva del género dictamen producido por dos instituciones de la Administración Pública en Chile
(2023) Meza, Paulina; Moyano, Francisca
El objetivo de esta investigación es determinar la variación de las características discursivas del género Dictamen producido por dos instituciones de la Administración Pública en Chile: la Contraloría General de la República (CGR) y la Dirección del Trabajo (DT). En el marco de un estudio cualitativo, a partir de los criterios caracterizadores del género propuestos por Parodi et al. (2009), analizamos un corpus constituido por 81 Dictámenes (48 de la CGR y 33 de la DT). Entre los principales hallazgos destacamos que los dictámenes de ambas instituciones, a pesar de tener el mismo nombre, poseen propósitos comunicativos diferentes, hecho que permite establecer que corresponden a géneros distintos. Así, el Dictamen de la CGR tiene como macropropósito comunicativo ordenar algo a los jefes de servicio de entidades públicas, mientras que el de la DT pretende informar la legislación laboral a los trabajadores. En conclusión, el Dictamen de la CGR y de la DT corresponden a géneros distintos con elementos en común (contexto de circulación, modos de organización discursiva predominante y auxiliar, modalidad semiótica predominante), pero también diferenciadores (propósito comunicativo, relación entre los participantes y artefacto semiótico prototípico).
Generating Subjective Theories After a Disaster: The Role of Personality Generación de teorías subjetivas después de un desastre: el papel de la personalidad Geração de teorias subjetivas após um desastre: o papel da personalidade
(2021) González-Palta, Ingrid; Castro-Carrasco, Pablo; Cabrera, Enzo; Jamet, Paulina; Leal-Soto, Francisco
The role of people's beliefs in their perception of disasters has been scarcely studied. In this study, we analyzed how people who experienced an earthquake and a subsequent tsunami employ subjective theories (ST) to explain their traumatic experience. This study aimed to interpret the explanations developed by a group of people about the earthquake and tsunami that took place in Chile in 2015. Thirteen episodic interviews were conducted as part of a qualitative case study. The participants' theories were grouped into four categories: the impact of personality on one's reaction to hardships; the existence of a link between personality and coping styles; the limited influence of personality on one's way of coping with difficulties; and changes in personality after experiencing hardships. These findings are discussed analyzing whether the participants' explanations could foster personal growth and psychological well-being after the catastrophe.
