本研究探討創業者的創業學習與塑意歷程，探究創業歷程中創業者是如何進入創業歷程，並如何在其中進行思考與行動，形成不同類型的創業行動模式。
採用敘說探究法，並以Weick提出的塑意概念探討三位創業者的創業學習歷程分析三位來自不同創業背景與產業的創業者，透過研究發現以下重要意涵:
1.三位創業者經歷了啟動開創、混亂中摸索、在歷解的意義中行動的歷程。
2.因創業者與他人的關係、認知的創業環境、創業者與環境的互動影響塑意的不同，形成了操作型創業行動模式、規制型創業行動模式、變形型創業行動模式。

This study discusses the entrepreneurs’ entrepreneurial learning and sensemaking process, exploring how entrepreneurs enter the entrepreneurial process in the entrepreneurial process, and how to think and act in it to form different types of entrepreneurial action mode.
Three entrepreneurs from different entrepreneurial backgrounds and industries were analyzed by using narrative inquiry method and the concept of shaping meaning proposed by Weick to explore the entrepreneurial learning process of three entrepreneurs. Through research, the following important implications were found:
1. The three entrepreneurs went through the process of starting up, exploring in chaos and acting in the meaning of historical solution.
2. Operational entrepreneurial action mode, regulatory entrepreneurial action mode and deformation entrepreneurial action mode are formed due to the differences in the relationship between entrepreneurs and others, the perceived entrepreneurial environment and the interaction between entrepreneurs and environment.
