Overview

The second of two volumes bringing together researchers from an array of disciplines including sociology, organization theory, strategy, and organizational behaviour, Entrepreneurialism and Society: Consequences and Meanings addresses the question of how entrepreneurship has transformed from an organizing activity into an ideology that is changing society. The authors investigate how the transformed meanings of entrepreneurship are causal in new social phenomenon such as organizational misconduct and driving inequality, but also how it may offer a promise to resolve those issues. Examining into the role of organizations in society, Entrepreneurialism and Society invigorates academic research by developing new perspectives on how entrepreneurs and their organizations shape our social world.

Reviews

The two volumes are a tour de force that serve to crystallize a novel way of conceptualizing the interplay between society and entrepreneurship. They have led to a sea change in scholarship on entrepreneurship and will inspire new and exciting research for years to come. -- Sarah Soule, Ph.D. Stanford University Graduate School of Business Entrepreneurship has morphed from what startups and small businesses do into a pervasive ideology. From Shark Tank to university curricula, entrepreneurship is everywhere now. How did everyone become an LLC, ready to toss an elevator pitch at a moment's notice? The articles in these volumes examine the societal impact of entrepreneurialism -- what happens when the process of starting a business becomes a set of values and a how-to guide for appropriate action far beyond the context of startups. They reflect an engaging mix of disciplines and methods taking on a vital problem. -- Gerald Davis, Ph.D., University of Michigan Entrepreneurship has been the rage for several decades, escaping serious scrutiny of its ramifications for those who experience its second and third-order consequences. The authors remedy that omission, deftly revealing the many societal costs and limitations that stem from worshipping at the altar of entrepreneurship. -- Walter Powell, Ph.D., Stanford University
