However, a comprehensive methodological approach to this topic is lacking, especially in the context of new definitions of rural entrepreneurship. This article focuses on the results of a systematic analysis of the literature on rural entrepreneurship aimed at distinguishing emerging research trends. The authors base their conclusions on research of articles from the international databases of Scopus and Web of Science journals. The paper also proposes an original model of rural entrepreneurship, based on the relationship between a rural entrepreneur and the place of activity, concerning new ways of defining this type of entrepreneurship. This model may help understand the mechanisms of rural entrepreneurship and the factors determining its development and may constitute a conceptual framework for further empirical research. Moreover, the conclusions from the study have application values, as they can be helpful for decision-makers in formulating local policy assumptions and strategic development plans, especially for rural areas.}, type={Text}, title={Understanding rural entrepreneurship: A literature review of research directions and a proposal of conceptual framework based on the entrepreneur-place relationship}, URL={http://rcin.org.pl./Content/243334/WA51_279963_r2024-t97-no4_G-Polonica-Kulawiak.pdf}, keywords={rural entrepreneurship, rural entrepreneur, place, literature review, research in rural entrepreneurship, conceptual framework, model}, }
