This book offers a critique of social justice theory and its impact
on entrepreneurship scholarship. It traces its deep roots in
postmodernism by positioning entrepreneurship within these new
intellectual, social, and economic environments. It highlights
current philosophical assumptions, with implications for boundary
conditions that we apply as scientists. Science depends on
theoretical assumptions and boundary conditions. Unfortunately, a
glaring weakness in entrepreneurship research has been its general
failure to identify these premises. No theory is universally
applicable, so its assumptions and boundary conditions are what
give it analytical power. Where do they come from? Simply stated,
they come from a theory's philosophy of science. However, even more
rare than stating assumptions and boundary conditions is to discuss
a study's governing philosophy. In fact, no known research
published in entrepreneurship has discussed a study's philosophical
orientation. This provocative work details postmodern concerns
related to critical theory, their origins, their status, and
specifically how they impact entrepreneurship and those who are not
designated as either the victimized or part of the white
patriarchy. It will challenge the current direction of
entrepreneurship research and confront the general acceptance of
the tenets of postmodernism among management scholars.
