This book provides new insights into how the concept of bricolage
is used to foster research on social entrepreneurship. The
contributors assess the relevance of the concept from a theoretical
point of view, questioning the concept and its relationships with
similar concepts or theories, like those of effectuation and
improvisation; use the concept of bricolage to study processes by
which social entrepreneurs make their business grow; and
investigate the diversity of social entrepreneurial situations and,
as a consequence, the variety of forms (and effects) of bricolage
practices. The primary objective of this book is thus to shed light
on bricolage in social entrepreneurship, especially at the
intersection of different levels of analysis and in different
contexts. It takes stock of existing research at the intersection
of both concepts and looks at future research avenues. This book
was originally published as a special issue of Entrepreneurship and
Regional Development.
Sustainable entrepreneurship has attracted growing attention in
both scholarly and practitioner circles. Focusing on generating
social, environmental and business value, the notion has been
raised more recently to address the contribution of entrepreneurial
activities to sustainable economic and social development.
Sustainable Entrepreneurship and Social Innovation builds on a
theoretical framework that addresses related topics via a
combination of insights from sustainability, policy, managerial,
strategic, innovation and institutional perspectives. Providing
empirical casework as well as a conceptual and theoretical
framework, the book takes a global, interdisciplinary approach to
the emergent field of sustainable entrepreneurship. The book
highlights elements of sustainable entrepreneurship which have a
societal impact as well as regional relevance and related aspects
of innovation are also presented. Definitional issues are further
elaborated in order to encompass the main inter-connected fields of
study, sustainable entrepreneurship and social innovation. This
book is an important resource for academic researchers, and
postgraduate and advanced undergraduate students in the fields of
entrepreneurship, innovation and sustainability.
