Our Research
WHAT
We study entrepreneurship as a discourse and model for social action. We want to understand how entrepreneurship as social discourse, or „entrepreneurialism”, shapes society. What is the influence of entrepreneurialism beyond the marketplace? How does entrepreneurialism shape our understanding of social inequality, careers, and grand societal challenges?
WHY
This research group explores the social mechanisms by which entrepreneurialism links to processes of social change. Understanding entrepreneurialism is core to critically reviewing the various activities described as entrepreneurship and to exploring how this discourse shapes broad processes of social change.
HOW
We study the past, present, and future of entrepreneurialism in interdisciplinary and internationally comparative perspective. Our objective is to analyze key evidence produced in the process of venturing in relationship to its broader societal context. This allows us to ask how particular forms of entrepreneurial agency are legitimized and others marginalized.

Through our research, we uncover how the discourse of entrepreneurship reshapes the landscape of organizational structures. By delving into historical shifts and contemporary narratives, we discern how entrepreneurialism redefines the nature of work, blurring the lines between traditional employment and freelance models.
