European entrepreneurship research and practice : a multifaceted effort towards integration of different perspectives
- 2020. - 1
-
Editorial collection (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The time of publishing this research volume marks the tenth anniversary of the Strategic Interest Group (SIG) Entrepreneurship of the European Academy of Management (EURAM). After various back-office formation efforts in 2010 (see Lundberg, 2014: vii-xiv for more details), the SIG Entrepreneurship was founded and launched in 2011 with a dedicated symposium, and had its first full scale operations in 2012. This new SIG Entrepreneurship acknowledges the growing interest in entrepreneurship as a major knowledge domain with high practical and political relevance. With its contrasting perspective of value and venture creation, entrepreneurship both complements and challenges traditional management research in its research topics as well as its methodological approaches.Rather than dictating topics and trends, the SIG Entrepreneurship has pursued since its beginning in 2010 a bottom-up approach by letting its active members determine the research foci, which are captured each year anew in the conference tracks of the EURAM annual meeting. The growth of the SIG Entrepreneurship is the result of the strong commitment of its current and all past SIG officers – the editors of this research volume – to promote entrepreneurship as a strong an innovative field of research with a broad spectrum of socially and politically relevant themes, which can be addressed through a variety of modern methodological approaches. This approach has resulted in attracting ever and ever more members devoted to share their research results, to develop networking activities together, and to be actively involved in the management of the SIG. We are proud to say that after 10 years, Entrepreneurship is the SIG featuring the most research contributions at the annual EURAM conference in Dublin 2020.To emphasize and promote the diversity of innovative research topics, as well as the multiple nationalities of the researchers representing the SIG Entrepreneurship, we decided in 2014 to publish our first research volume on “entrepreneurship as a working attitude, as a mode of thinking and an everyday practice.” With the growing diversity of the field and our SIG, we see today the necessity of a renewed snapshot of what is currently going on within the European entrepreneurship research community. Accordingly, our second volume on “European Entrepreneurship Research and Practice” carries the representative subtitle “A Multifaceted Effort Towards Integration of Different Perspectives.” In the subsequent chapters, we are very fortunate and proud to present eight innovative contributions by researchers of our SIG. By promoting these advances in entrepreneurship, we wish to invite, in particular, young entrepreneurship researchers from Europe and all over the world to join our SIG and contribute to a distinct European perspective of entrepreneurship research, practice, and policy.

A conceptual framework for social entrepreneurship and social innovation in Mexico
- 2020
-
In: Entretextos. - León, Mexico : Universidad Iberoamericana León. - 2007-5316. ; 11:33, s. 20-37
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In order for social entrepreneurship and social innovation to take off for real in Mexico, two major inhibitors on structural level needs to be addressed and eliminated/reduced. One inhibitor is material and the other is discursive in nature. The material inhibitor is the lingering power of oldmoney, old elites, old solutions, old thinking, and old ways of organizing economic activity that still dominates economic and social life in Mexico. Inter-twinned with this material inhibitor is the discursive inhibitor; the skills of old power representatives in using “new and fresh vocabulary” to discursively obscure, blur and distort that their activities still are based on the aforementioned old power logic. The purpose of this article is to contribute to remedy the problem with the discursive inhibitor, via proposing an actionable conceptual framework for social entrepreneurs and social innovators in Mexico. If achieving some success on the discursive arenas, gains and wins therefrom can be used to take on the material inhibitor on the political-legal arenas. The henequen industry in Yucatan is used as an illustrative case to support the purpose.

Radically Overperforming Women Entrepreneurs in Mexico City : Alimentos Para Todos as a High Impact Social Innovation Case
- 2022
-
In: Research Handbook on Women's Entrepreneurship and Value Creation. - Cheltenham : Edward Elgar Publishing. - 9781789901368 - 9781789901375 ; , s. 327-344
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This is a case about the largest independent food bank in Mexico. Alimento Para Todos (APT) collect, organize, dignify and distribute food to over 65,000 people per week, every week, year around, year after year. The case narrates and analyses the societal value generated by these high impact social entrepreneurs in Mexico City, where all key management positions except one are held by women entrepreneurs. First, readers are brought "right in" to case context with a method for presenting narrative data aiming at evoking readers emotionally/emphatically before becoming rationally/analytically involved. Thereafter, more conventional sections with theoretical framework and methodology are presented. In the findings section then following, a method for presenting narrative data aiming at balancing "the teller" (author) and "the told" (respondents) is used to unfold "A day in the life of Alimento Para Todos" mainly from the perspectives of "the told". Finally, a more conventional discussion and conclusion section focus on the contributions from this case to improve our knowledge about social value creation through woman entrepreneurship at societal level.

Social Innovation in Emerging Economies and Developing Countries

-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Many social problems in emerging economies and developing countries remain unsolved. This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book introduces social innovation of ventures in emerging economies and developing countries as a relevant concept and a theoretical field. It presents five conceptual and/or empirical contributions that underpin attributes, processes and practices for building social innovation in the Americas. The book introduces the positive deviance approach to the social innovation domain, Victoria Konovalenko Slettli and Arvind Singhal broaden our understanding of processes nurturing distributed and generative problem-solving via cases in the rural Misiones Province of Argentina and in New Hampshire in USA. It relies on the theoretical perspectives of entrepreneurial resourcefulness and bricolage, which are well established within entrepreneurship research, and linking these concepts with the social innovation domain will further stimulate exchange between related scholarly domains.

The other within as entrepreneurial agency for subsistence entrepreneurs
- 2020
-
In: Entrepreneurship and the community. - Cham : Springer. - 9783030236038 - 9783030236045 ; , s. 7-27
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this chapter, we do a minor close reading of the concept “the other within” (TOW) with the purpose to delineate potential conceptual advancement (MacInnis. J Marketing, 75(4), 136–154; 2018) that TOW as a specific form of entrepreneurial agency for subsistence entrepreneurs bring to entrepreneurship studies in general and subsistence entrepreneurship studies in particular. TOW is here elaborated conceptually upon as an entrepreneurial agency practiced subtly, on-going and insistently in everyday life by entrepreneurs embedded in more constraints (real and/or perceived) relative to the average entrepreneur. Our point of departure is the work of Michel de Certeau (The Practice of Everyday Life, 1988/1984; originally published 1974 as Arts de faire), from which we proceed toward the few other authors who have explicitly used TOW as a concept. After having derived central properties of the proposed conceptual construct (TOW) out of these texts, we sum up the core characteristics for the other within as a specific agency for subsistence entrepreneurs, a form of entrepreneurial agency practiced by necessity due to constraints and limitations imposed upon subsistence entrepreneurs out of their control.
