Rethinking Entrepreneurship
in Society

A Research Environment at Copenhagen Business School

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.
