ECSB SocChange SIG Webinar: A critical discussion of the role of social entrepreneurship in social change
March 16 @ 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm UTC+1
Please join us for the SocChange SIG webinar on social entrepreneurship and its relationship with positive social change.
In this webinar we will explore critiques and potentials of social entrepreneurship? Under what circumstances can social entrepreneurship foster fundamental positive social change, and under what circumstances does it end up reinforcing the market economy that produces increasing social inequality and environmental degradation? The webinar will feature short presentations by prominent entrepreneurship scholars before inviting a reflective and inclusive conversation about the potentials, limitations and dark side of social entrepreneurship.
The webinar follows from our earlier online event about the work of Karl Polanyi and how it can inform entrepreneurship research. We continue the conversation, picking up on how the insights of Polanyi generates critical questions about the role of social entrepreneurship. We combine this with perspectives from recent work by prominent social entrepreneurship scholars exploring the dark side of social entrepreneurship.
Confirmed speakers include Frank Janssen (UC Louvain), Sophie Bacq (IMD), Anne Sophie Sabbatuci (Kelley School of Business), Vicky Nowak (Manchester Metropolitan), and Paola Raffaelli (IQS School of Management).
The webinar should be of interest to all entrepreneurship scholars interested in new conversations about the role of social entrepreneurship – in particular those looking for new alternative theoretical vocabularies to engage in reflective and critical explorations of this topic.
The webinar will take place on the 16th of March 15.30 to 17:00 Central European Time
Webinar Facilitator: Steffen Korsgaard (University of Southern Denmark) and Verena Meyer (Leuphana University of Lüneburg)
