Even though the study of innovation and entrepreneurship is a
diverse, multi-disciplinary endeavour, the role of culture is often
neglected or under-emphasized. Building on the cultural turn that
has swept across the social sciences and humanities over the past
couple of decades, Culture, Innovation and Entrepreneurship
provides cutting-edge theoretical and empirical insights about how
culture shapes innovation and entrepreneurship. It features novel
contributions that enhance our understanding about a variety of
important theoretical issues related to symbolic management,
framing, legitimacy, optimal distinctiveness, institutional logics
and the dynamics of cultural entrepreneurship in and across
organizations. This book also addresses a diverse range of topics
such as the design of craft goods, the creation of the Guggenheim
museum, entrepreneurial ecosystems, open innovation, crowdfunding,
the mafia and grand challenges. The chapters in this volume will be
of interest to a diverse array of scholars, from those interested
in entrepreneurship and innovation to cultural studies,
contemporary social theory, organization studies and management.
The chapters in this book were originally published as a special
issue of the journal Innovation: Organization and Management.

Categorization pervades economic life; products, services, firms
and industries are continuously being classified by rivals,
clients, experts and critics. A stream of research highlighting the
importance of market and product categories for organizations and
individuals has grown in importance during the past 40 years. This
volume contains ten essays on categorization authored by some of
the world's leading scholars within sociology of markets,
organization theory, and strategy research. It opens with
revisiting the influential theory of "the categorical imperative",
and moves on to present various accounts of the social processes
that form part of categorization and elaboration of their
consequences. Together, the different chapters effectively show
that categorization is a process, tightly connected to actors
involved and their specific acts, the characteristics of the entity
being categorized, and the context and timing informing these
activities. As such, it complements the earlier cognitive
perspectives by discussing the evaluative, social, and political
manifestations of categorization.
