Against Entrepreneurship : A Critical Examination Hardback
Edited by Anders Ortenblad
Hardback
Description
This book explores whether there is reason to be against entrepreneurship.
Just like literature on the darker sides of entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship, the book is an answer to the one-sided, overly positive and uncritical image of entrepreneurship.
The “twist” in this book, in comparison with literature on dark sides of entrepreneurship, is to explore being against entrepreneurship.
From various perspectives such as lexical semantics, Marxism, philosophy of science and psychology, the contributors contemplate on why there may be reason to be against entrepreneurship discourse as well as entrepreneurship practice.
Some chapters are based on first-hand empirical data, others are conceptual.
The main overall conclusion is that there are some strong arguments for being against entrepreneurship discourse, as well as for being against certain aspects of entrepreneurship practice.
Before it is reasonable to be against entrepreneurship practice in total, a convincing and practicable alternative needs to be developed.
This book will be valuable reading for entrepreneurship scholars, as well as academics working in the fields of business ethics, (critical) management, and international business.
