Our Research
What
We study entrepreneurship as a discourse and model for social action. As managers urge their employees to become more entrepreneurial and newspapers debate the controversial role of the entrepreneurial “gig economy”, we want to understand how entrepreneurship as a social discourse shapes society. What is the influence of entrepreneurship beyond the marketplace? How does entrepreneurship shape our understanding of social inequality, careers, and how to approach grand societal challenges?
Why
Our research is a deep dive into the intricate ways in which the social discourse of entrepreneurship has the power to reshape not just organizations but the very fabric of societal relationships. We meticulously uncover the subtle yet profound social mechanisms fueling this transformation, with a strong emphasis on the pivotal role played by entrepreneurialism in influencing our historical roots and future trajectories. We critically examine the diverse spectrum of entrepreneurial activities and, in doing so, strive to comprehend their far-reaching influence on sweeping social transformations that transcend time and context.
