Aim |
||
|
The aim of this course is to introduce students to current theories of social entrepreneurship and how these are being used to explain and tackle current and emerging social problems. Particular emphasis is placed on providing students with the analytical means to analyse and discuss social entrepreneurship in the context of society. With this, we believe, follows a concern with the political, philosophical and ethical. In order to thoroughly grasp social entrepreneurship we approach the topic and phenomenon from the perspective of inquiring into the relationship between economy and society as this was articulated in early economic thinking (Adam Smith) as well as in early entrepreneurship theory (Joseph Schumpeter). From there we can ask what the ‘social’ of social entrepreneurship is. This inquiry places emphasis on politics as important aspects of deciding precisely how the relationship between the social and the economic should be balanced in the context of a flourishing society. We also take the social to be inherently ethical, which makes our engagement with theorists and philosophers of ethics necessary. |

Course content |
||
|
This course will offer a nuanced set of perspectives on social entrepreneurship. We build on a tradition of studying social entrepreneurship from an interdisciplinary approach. We will make use of empirical research and engage students in discussions, including discussions of selected readings and student-presentations. The morning of four of the five days will be devoted to disseminating and discussing the ideas, theories and empirical material with which the researcher is working. In the afternoons students will be asked to apply various theoretical perspectives on their own projects and elaborate on implications in groups and in presentations. Additionally, the course will include discussions of some methodological challenges of studying, analyzing, and publishing on social entrepreneurship from such a more interdisciplinary, social science and humanities oriented reflexive perspective. We will be analyzing various cases of social entrepreneurship and in doing so be given opportunities to ask what social entrepreneurship is, and how the social-economic relationship could be understood in the context of today’s society. Emphasis is placed on PhD-students’ development of an approach and perspective in which their research problems and empirical material can be enriched and made more precise to the extent that they relate to social entrepreneurship (broadly). The course covers the areas of entrepreneurship and innovation studies, critical management studies, art, philosophy and management/leadership. In class, students will be given material from research literature to read and these will be used as illustrations, forming the basis for group discussions and presentations. One of the benefits of using an interdisciplinary approach is that it teaches students about the need to sensitise oneself to multiple perspectives and the negotiated nature of truth claims. The course design reflects this conversational, relational nature of learning. |
||
Teaching style |
||
| The form of the PhD course seminars is a combination of lecture-driven presentations of previous research literature and related concepts, group work and discussions with the professors, who will join for several days of the course, creating a form of “summer-school”. | ||

Learning objectives |
||
|
The course objective is to establish familiarity with contemporary business administration research in the field of social entrepreneurship (from an interdisciplinary perspective), and to develop a framework for analyzing the conditions for and nature of social entrepreneurship in the context of today’s society. Students will learn how to review and critique contributions to social entrepreneurship and learn to analyse and discuss the politics, philosophy, and ethics of social entrepreneurship. They will also learn to apply theory to their empirical studies (PhD projects) and assess its relevance for their project. Students will learn what relevance and use an interdisciplinary perspective on social entrepreneurship has for our capacity to study, analyze and teach social entrepreneurship today. Students will develop new knowledge about how the relationship between the social (including the ethical) and the economic, in the context of today’s society, has implications for the study and practice of social entrepreneurship. They will also learn how to apply this knowledge in studies of social entrepreneurship. |
