Abstract [en]

Considering entrepreneurship as a processual phenomenon, as entrepreneuring, means that it materializes as a stream of situated practices that sediment into ventures and entrepreneurial careers. This view triggers ontological, epistemological and methodological challenges. Adopting a social-constructionist paradigm entrepreneuring then appears as creative organizing of activities that originates in a dialogue between the entrepreneur and an enacted environment. This dialogue concerns concrete situations that are heedfully as well as shrewdly dealt with by the entrepreneur. Accordingly the 'enactive methodology' is introduced as an appropriate inside approach, implying that the researcher also adopts the identity of an entrepreneur and thus as an 'entresearcher' launches ventures for self-reflection. The interpretation of two enacted ventures, concerning cultural and social entrepreneuring respectively, generated six formative dispositions, i.e. generic attitudes associated with entrepreneuring as practice: (1) considering change and experimenting a natural state; (2) experiencing the personal network as a bodily extension; (3) recognizing venturing as a collaborative undertaking; (4) rationalizing and imputing agency to one's own actions over random events; (5) safeguarding room for manoeuvring and (6) regarding institutions as competitors, indifference as an enemy and resistance as an energizer. An axiological audit of the two projects suggests that the chosen approach corresponds with the issues being addressed and that they both pay due respect to fellow humans being involved.

Abstract [en]

Some contemporary practice theories are not well suited to studying entrepreneurship as ongoing creative organizing. In order to catch the emergence of entrepreneurship, the scholar has to adopt a dwelling mode and immerse themselves into the concrete doings, the practices, of ‘entrepreneuring’, thus amalgamating the researcher and entrepreneur identities.Enactive research thus means that the scholar enacts a real-life venture and uses auto-ethnographic methods to organize the insights being gained. Two enacted, year long, projects, are reported in detail and the methods used and the findings from the research are reported in this thought-provoking book.

Abstract [en]

Entrepreneurship scholars have become increasingly aware of the need to recognize situated and temporary practices as the core of organizing in general, and of entrepreneuring as a processual phenomenon in particular. Close-up and longitudinal empirical inquiry into a Swedish work-integrating social enterprise, and its everyday procedures, uncovered several core process practices. The transformation of this enterprise into a national franchisor constructed further processual practices. These practices are comparable with the principles constituting the logic of effectuation. The findings tell that a different kind of effectuation logic rules in social enterprises, as much as the task is not profit-making but supporting people with social needs. The notion of necessity effectuation' is thus introduced to denote this logic. The empirical research in the social enterprise also reveals structural practices, here interpreted as dualities, that frame the processual practices. In social entrepreneuring a weaving metaphor, with the structural practices as the warp and the processual ones as the weft elements, thus appears as appropriate.

Abstract [en]

Process philosophy has drawn attention to the world as ambiguous and ever changing, however, also enactable. This makes entrepreneurship a processual phenomenon, rightly addressed as ‘entrepreneuring’. Recognizing not only their cognitive, yet also affective and conative capabilities, makes it possible for human actors to mobilize forces that bring the world to a standstill long enough to create a venture for value creation. This, however, calls for insight that is different to universal scientific knowledge – episteme and techne – namely situated insights addressed as m_tis and phronesis. M_tis then concerns alertness and shrewdness and phronesis is about prudence in the context of action. Academic education can only provide the latter competencies able to train for entrepreneuring by letting the students travel across the boundaries of the university. In addition, the dominance of management as an ideology must be pro-actively dealt with in order to create space for entrepreneurial practices. Three cases in academic training for entrepreneuring, all in the Swedish context, which show radically different ways of dealing with these challenges, are presented in a comparative analysis. The lessons are summarized as general conditions for providing training that advances entrepreneurship students’ situated and actionable insights.
