A one day symposium organized by the Warwick Organization Theory
Network,
Full Time MBA Teaching Centre, Room A2
In the
past twenty-five years we have witnessed the unprecedented spread of the
concept of entrepreneurship. The idea of enterprise has moved out of its heart
land of small businesses and into most sectors of social and economic life. We
now talk about employees of large corporations as intrapreneurs, government
officers as public sector entrepreneurs, policy makers as institutional
entrepreneurs, gangsters as violent entrepreneurs, and charities as engaging in
social entrepreneurship. We would like to ask: what are the theoretical,
social, and political implications of such a radical generalization of
entrepreneurship?
In
order to explore this question, The Warwick Organization Theory Network is
organizing a one day symposium on ‘entrepreneurship outside enterprise’. The
aim is to explore whether the idea of entrepreneurship is applicable and
relevant outside the formal business enterprise. During the day we will explore
three specific areas:
1. Institutional
entrepreneurship. In this session we will consider the potential of institutional
entrepreneurship as a theoretical framework for understanding entrepreneurship
of different kinds.
2.
3. Social entrepreneurship. During this
session we will explore the concept of social entrepreneurship, and its
application in different sectors of the economy.
Each
part of the symposium will comprise two presentations, and some time for
discussion and feedback from the audience.
