- Strategies for entrepreneurship in the educational system are present not only in the Nordic countries, but also in the majority of other Western countries. Linked to these strategies different research efforts have been made. Although the research efforts have a common origin in supranational policies on entrepreneurship, there has been little research analysing the similarities and differences in how the topic is addressed by researchers in different countries. Being able to relate to both the policy and the available research in a nuanced way is important especially in the context of teacher education. The purpose of this article is to review the most recent research in pedagogical entrepreneurship from three countries: Finland, Iceland and Sweden. The aim is to discover whether the common phenomena of entrepreneurship in an educational context are approached differently in these three countries. The review of 21 articles in all, covering aim, method, concepts, references and results, draws a rather fragmented picture of the research. The main results are that the reviewed research was mostly qualitative and covered the entire spectrum from theoretical research to practice-oriented research. A variety of concepts were used. The analysis of the use of references uncovered a need to be more aware of including research from neighbouring regions. The research field seems to be quite lively and is still developing. However, it would benefit from a better dialogue between researchers in order to strengthen the contribution of Nordic research on pedagogical entrepreneurship.

Gender and entrepreneurship in the horse-related industry
- 2013
-
Ingår i: Journal of Business Diversity. - 2158-3889. ; 12:2, s. 75-93
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper, we examine the horse-related industry in terms of entrepreneurship and gender. Based on reports of the industry, a mapping of the entire sector (N= 7504) and a questionnaire (N=520) we find that the industry is portrayed as female gendered, but dominated by men. However, we also find evidence that the industry is changing gender, as women dominate among younger entrepreneurs. The strongest motives for the horse-related entrepreneurs (regardless of gender) are realizing a dream and being able to combine interest with work. We also found that entrepreneurs in this industry mainly network inside the industry.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to present and develop models of educational approaches to entrepreneurship that can provide complementary analytical structures to better study, enact and reflect upon the role of entrepreneurship in higher education.Design/methodology/approachA general framework for entrepreneurship education is developed by using theory as well as practical experiences from the fields of business, engineering and pedagogy. The paper is mainly conceptual where the unfolding Swedish practice is used as contextual backdrop.FindingsThe FOR/IN/THROUGH/ABOUT (FITA) taxonomy is presented and used to develop three models of how to approach entrepreneurship in higher education depending on purpose. As there exists a didactical divide between entrepreneurial education for business and entrepreneurial approach to teaching and learning, educators and researchers ought to let their specific context influence the adoption of the taxonomy as well as the presented models.Research limitations/implicationsThe differentiations suggested by the presented models can be used to both structure the designs and limit claims of future research. More heuristic research is called for.Practical implicationsThe use of FITA in the designing of entrepreneurship education offers new opportunities for enhancing complementary student learning in higher education.Social implicationsThe study suggests that any political or scholarly initiative must acknowledge the diversity of entrepreneurship education and chose different approaches depending on what is to be achieved.Originality/valueThe multidisciplinary approach has made it possible to present and create models that denote a common ground for a productive discussion on how to better understand and make use of entrepreneurship in higher education.

The duality of strategic managerial work in SMEs: A structuration perspective
- 2012
-

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter examines strategic managerial work in SMEs using a theoretical framework based on structuration and entrepreneurship theory. Three managerial episodes illustrate how CEOs deal with strategic situations in SMEs. Several propositions about strategic managerial work in SMEs, which is multifaceted and complex, are offered. Such work is a social practice that is ingrained with symbolism, emotions, and power. The propositions of this study are that the level of strategic intensity is an influential contingency factor that affects the balance of those aspects of the practice, and that strategic intensity depends on whether strategic managerial work relies more on already established structures or on managers’ original actions. The conclusion is that structuration provides a promising framework for understanding the subtle complexities of strategic managerial work in SMEs.

Ascribed functions of the balanced scorecard: a study of politicians, managers and accountants in Swedish local governments
- 2009
-
Ingår i: Performance Measurement Association Conference.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper takes a novel approach to investigate functions ascribed to the Balanced Scorecard in local governments. First, we develop a measurement scale of balanced scorecard functions based on a literature review. Then, by combining qualitative interviews and quantitative data (based on 101 respondents) from four local governments in Sweden, we examine the measurement scale and put it to use. The results show that politicians, managers and accountants in local government recognize multiple functions, instrumental as well as symbolic. Based on the results, we generate propositions to be tested in future research.
