Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary.There is growing recognition that entrepreneurship can be better understood within its context(s). This carefully designed book invites readers to take a journey: from reflecting critically on where the discussion on context and entrepreneurship stands today towards identifying future research questions and themes that deserve the attention of entrepreneurship scholars. This collection draws attention to the research challenges the entrepreneurship field faces by reviewing the many facets of contexts and by reflecting on methods and theoretical approaches that are required in order to contextualize entrepreneurship research. Written by renowned international scholars, the book's leading-edge contributions provide a thorough exploration of how to contextualize entrepreneurship research. Taking a multidisciplinary approach, comprehensive coverage of the entrepreneurship/contexts debate is included, in addition to reading lists and a chapter dedicated to advancing future research avenues. Students and academics interested in context and entrepreneurship will benefit from this far-reaching and forward-thinking book.

Context, time, and change : Historical approaches to entrepreneurship research
- 2020

In: Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal. - : John Wiley & Sons. - 1932-4391 .- 1932-443X. ; 14:1, s. 3-19

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Research Summary We articulate the value of historical methods and reasoning in strategic entrepreneurship research and theory. We begin by introducing the papers in the special issue, contextualizing each within one of five broader methodological approaches, and elaborating on the applicability of each to other topics in entrepreneurship research. Next, we use the papers to induce a framework for integrating history into entrepreneurship theory. The framework demonstrates how historical assumptions play a formative role in operationalizing time and context in entrepreneurship research. We then show how variations in these treatments of time and context shape theoretical claims about entrepreneurial opportunities, actions, and processes of change. We conclude by discussing why this may be a particularly opportune time for strategic entrepreneurship research to develop a deeper historical sensibility. Managerial Summary History can serve as an especially important guide to understanding entrepreneurship during moments of change. We draw on articles from the special issue on "Historical Approaches to Entrepreneurship Research" to illustrate different forms of historical reasoning and research about entrepreneurship. Moreover, we use the articles to develop a framework for understanding how historical context and time shape entrepreneurial opportunities, actions, and processes of change. We emphasize, in particular, the value of history in understanding variations in entrepreneurial practices.

Advancing our research agenda for entrepreneurship and contexts

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The Editors offer their views about important issues for advancing a research agenda on entrepreneurship and contexts, and they offer an invitation to readers to add their own ideas to this agenda. We suggest that scholars talk about contexts (plural) instead of context (singular). Furthermore, in building on the chapters in this volume, we suggest that more attention needs to be paid to: the ‘subjective’ aspects of contexts as reflected in: cognitions, language, and sense-making; the intersectionality of temporal, historical and spatial contexts; together with the process elements of contexts. In order to tackle the theoretical and methodological challenges in contextualizing entrepreneurship we put forward a call for more transdisciplinary work in the entrepreneurship field.

Everyday entrepreneurship : a call for entrepreneurship research to embrace entrepreneurial diversity
- 2017
-
In: Entrepreneurship. - : John Wiley & Sons. - 1042-2587 .- 1540-6520. ; 41:3, s. 311-321
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This essay contrasts a perspective that places an excessive focus on technology businesses and growth with a view of entrepreneurship that embraces its heterogeneity. We challenge a taken-for-granted belief that only certain kinds of entrepreneurship might lead to wealth and job creation and additionally suggest that these two outcomes (wealth and job creation) need to be placed within a broader context of reasons, purposes, and values for why and how entrepreneurship emerges. We suggest that a wider and nondiscriminatory perspective on what constitutes entrepreneurship will lead to better theory and more insights that are relevant to the phenomenon.
