This book - the third in the Movements in Entrepreneurship series -
examines entrepreneurship as a societal phenomenon. It provides an
in-depth study of the social aspects of entrepreneurship,
illustrating how entrepreneurship affects society. The need to move
beyond economy to disclose entrepreneurship in its societal forms
is demonstrated, as is the relevance of our understanding of
entrepreneurship as a societal phenomenon. The contributors show
that entrepreneurship is a society-creating force and as such, it
evokes new questions for entrepreneurship research and attempts to
engage with new theoretical formulations. They begin with
discussions on early Schumpeter and a rhetorical analysis of the
current academic literature on social entrepreneurship. They go on
to present myriad contextual examples of how entrepreneurship can
shape social change, and indicate how this is initiated through
various social settings, relationships and communities. Through
rich empirical work this book explores the social of 'social
entrepreneurship' and in doing so shows us how entrepreneurship is
at home where society is created. As such, it will prove a
fascinating read for academics, researchers and students with an
interest in entrepreneurship, sociology and economic sociology.
Incorporating linguistic, cultural, and narrative turning points in
the social sciences that have changed the way we think, study,
analyse and practice research, this book demonstrates new ways of
examining entrepreneurship as a societal phenomenon. Following on
from New Movements in Entrepreneurship, this is the second volume
in a mini-series on movements in entrepreneurship. It aims to
forward the study of entrepreneurship by stimulating and exploring
new ideas and research practices in relation to new themes,
theories, methods, pragmatic stances and contexts. The book
explores different experiences and accounts of entrepreneurship, as
well as reflections on 'story telling' in entrepreneurship
research, discursive studies, and debates on how to interpret
narrative and discursive work. This fascinating book will provide
students and researchers of entrepreneurship, business
administration and management with inspiring empirical research,
and valuable discussions on how to study and write (on)
entrepreneurship.

Entrepreneurship, as the creation of new organizations, has
globally become an appealing call for individuals and governments
alike. Too often still, it is simply associated with the idea of
'enterprise', thus sustaining a pervasive politics of homo
economicus agents living a 'measured life' in competition-based
individuality. Organizational Entrepreneurship, Politics and the
Political disconnects entrepreneurship from the politics of
enterprise to more fully explore its potential to resist the
economic and ethical demand of the enterprise to be instrumentally
innovative and instead to disrupt and disturb the established
order. As such, entrepreneurship is seen as inevitably political
– it is a constant attempt at declassifying existing structures
and institutions, de-normalizing practices and sensemaking to make
room for and initiate the new. The chapters invite the readers to
revisit key concepts in entrepreneurship studies – opportunity,
motivation, identity, experimentation, creative destruction and
experimentation – by approaching them through a political process
lens. This book offers a new conceptual repertoire and vocabulary
that reconnects entrepreneurship studies with the socio-political
dimensions of organization-creation, opening up multiple
possibilities for understanding and questioning the meanings and
effects of entrepreneurship in society. Combining philosophical
reflections with organizational and processual perspectives, this
book will be of interest to academics, students and researchers in
the areas of business, social and political entrepreneurship,
organization studies and management. The chapters in this book were
originally published as a special issue of the Entrepreneurship and
Regional Development.
At last, a book that focuses on trendsetting thinking and research
in the field of entrepreneurship and sets an agenda for current and
future movements in the field. The aim of the book is to advance
entrepreneurship research, focussing on the following four key
movements: * broad movements within the academic field of
entrepreneurship and how to move it further in terms of new
frameworks, theories and methodologies * movements in the concept
of entrepreneurship through project-based, action-based, enactment
based and discourse-based approaches * knowledge-based
entrepreneurship and the processes in which the role of
universities, new organisations, regions and cities are connected
and exemplified * global, ethnic, transformed and new economies and
how entrepreneurship contributes to renewing economies and moving
beyond just economics to view the effects of entrepreneurship on
societies. Students and scholars of entrepreneurship and business
administration will find this a clear yet far-reaching account of
the movement of entrepreneurship research.
This fourth book in the New Movements in Entrepreneurship series
focuses on the politics and aesthetics of entrepreneurial
processes, in order to shed light on entrepreneurial creation
itself. Presenting original empirical material, the eminent
contributors examine control and entrepreneurship in various
organizational contexts. They go on to demonstrate how control can
be exercised entrepreneurially, how art brings an entrepreneurial
force into society, and how entrepreneurship operates by aesthetic
moves. The need to move beyond the traditional focus on the
economic and business implications of entrepreneurship is also
discussed, as is the relevance of political and aesthetic theory to
our understanding of entrepreneurship as a creative force. The book
provides entrepreneurship studies with a new language, that in
itself is an aesthetic effort with political implications,
resulting in new theoretical, empirical and practical
possibilities. It will prove a fascinating read for students,
academics and researchers with an interest in entrepreneurship and
management and creativity and aesthetics.

This Handbook brings together pioneering, original work on
organisational entrepreneurship. It provides a broad coverage and
rich agenda for future research and teaching on the
entrepreneurship-organisation relationship.Organizational
entrepreneurship represents an interdisciplinary field of research
that relates organisation, entrepreneurship and innovation studies
in new ways. This Handbook establishes the scope of this
interdisciplinary domain, challenges our perception of
relationships between organization(s) and entrepreneurship, and
asks new questions central to our capacity to describe, analyze and
understand organizational entrepreneurship. Providing a broad and
rich set of examples of interdisciplinary research and bridging the
fields of strategic management, organization studies,
entrepreneurship, innovation, art and aesthetics, this important
compendium will prove invaluable to graduate students and scholars
in these fields. Contributors: H. Ahl, H.E. Aldrich, E. Barinaga,

Process approaches to organization studies focus on flow,
activities, and evolution, understanding organizations and
organizing as processes in the making. They stand in contrast to
positivist approaches that see organizations and phenomena as
fixed, static, and measurable. Process approaches draw on a range
of ideas and philosophies. The Handbook examines 34 philosophers
and social theorists, both those commonly linked to process
thinking, such as Whitehead, Bergson and James, and those that are
not as often addressed from a process perspective such as Dilthey
and Tarde. Each chapter addresses the background and context of
this thinker, their work (with a focus on the processual elements),
and the potential contribution to organization and management
research. For students and scholars in the field of Organization
Studies this book is an entry point into the work of philosophical
thinkers and social theorists for whom the world is far from being
a solid place.
