Five decades of corporate entrepreneurship research: measuring and mapping the field
2021
AbstractResearch on corporate entrepreneurship—venturing activities by established corporations—has received increasing scholarly attention. We employ bibliometric methods to analyze the literature on corporate entrepreneurship published over the last five decades. Based on the results of citation and co-citation analyses, we reveal central works in the field and how they are interconnected. We investigate the underlying intellectual structure of the field. Our findings provide evidence of the growing maturity and interdisciplinarity of corporate entrepreneurship and provide insight into research themes. We find that resource-based view and its extensions still remain the predominant theore…

Entrepreneurship of an institutional field: the emergence of coworking spaces for digital business model
2020
AbstractCoworking spaces have been proliferating world-wide in urban and rural areas while facilitating entrepreneurship and new, especially digital business models. Our research analyzes the worldwide expansion by drawing upon mechanisms from institutional theory. We argue that the sense of community, emotional activation, the local communities together with the digital linkages and the open office allowed coworking spaces to evolve as a real space for entrepreneurship. The common lifestyle and the high digital identity of the users further explain the emergence of this entrepreneurship field that shows high convergent forms of coworking spaces. The key divergence comes with different owne…
Social Problems, Entrepreneurial Behaviour and NEETs
2021
Since its origins, the idea about the NEET collective (a diverse group composed mostly of young people who neither study nor work) has been linked to school failure, unemployment and occupational vulnerability. However, in the last decade it has attracted considerable attention by educational and occupational policies. These policies, guided by the logic of activation, have been introducing entrepreneurship-based programmes addressed to NEETs, orienting their career paths towards self-employment and business creation. This chapter explores the complex binomial between NEETs and entrepreneurship and studies its feasibility through an analysis of the programmes that have been initiated by int…
Promoting innovation and entrepreneurship skills in professionals in software engineering training: An approach to the academy and bodies of knowledg…
2018
Bodies of Knowledge (BOK) contain the most relevant knowledge for a discipline. BOK must embody the consensus reached by the community for which a specific BOK will be applied. This consensus is a prerequisite for the adoption of the BOK by the community. In this context, at the level of higher education, especially in the field of software engineering, the academic world shows a significant enthusiasm for the development of various competencies related to entrepreneurship and innovation, focusing on both the promotion of opportunities and the strengthening of existing connections between university and software industry. The reality is that one of the main challenges in software engineerin…

Superdiversity perspective and the sociolinguistics of social media
2018
This chapter shows how the superdiversity perspective suggested in recent critical sociolinguistics provides the study of social media discourse and communication with a useful approach to conceptualizing and empirically investigating complex and multiple axes of diversity and difference in social media practices. It discusses recent work in sociolinguistics of social media, highlighting how social media practices illustrate many of the aspects of contemporary social life and communication that are considered symptomatic of superdiversity. It shows how research in this field has moved from viewing superdiversity as a quality or quantity characterizing specific places, spaces, groups and net…
Linking Women Entrepreneurship with Social Entrepreneurship
2011
In recent times, the number of women entrepreneurs in the world has grown steadily, motivated by necessity or by reasons related to the identification and exploitation of a gap in the market via which they can exploit and develop the experience and knowledge acquired. However, a new phenomenon is emerging in the field of entrepreneurship: the creation of organizations to attain social goals. It is precisely within this new framework that women can take on a relevant role due to a certain extent to a greater sensitivity towards the social problems in their environment. In this paper, we discuss several cases of women entrepreneurs that have allowed us to relate the motives for entrepreneuria…
Sustainable Entrepreneurial Orientation: A Business Strategic Approach for Sustainable Development
2017
This paper proposes sustainable entrepreneurial orientation (SEO) as a multidimensional construct that offers researchers the possibility of empirically testing their theoretical proposals in the sustainable entrepreneurship field. The authors propose an integration of different theories. In accordance with the dynamic capabilities view, SEO is approached under an organizational paradigm of strategic orientations delimited by competitive culture and multiple orientation perspectives. Furthermore, SEO's nature is conceived at a firm-based entrepreneurship level and is based on an integrated triple bottom line sustainability. This approach is conceptualized using a categorization scheme and d…
Socio-cultural factors and transnational entrepreneurship
