Process approaches to organization studies focus on flow, activities, and evolution, understanding organizations and organizing as processes in the making. They stand in contrast to positivist approaches that see organizations and phenomena as fixed, static, and measurable. Process approaches draw on a range of ideas and philosophies. The Handbook examines 34 philosophers and social theorists, both those commonly linked to process thinking, such as Whitehead, Bergson and James, and those that are not as often addressed from a process perspective such as Dilthey and Tarde. Each chapter addresses the background and context of this thinker, their work (with a focus on the processual elements), and the potential contribution to organization and management research. For students and scholars in the field of Organization Studies this book is an entry point into the work of philosophical thinkers and social theorists for whom the world is far from being a solid place.

Entrepreneurship, as the creation of new organizations, has globally become an appealing call for individuals and governments alike. Too often still, it is simply associated with the idea of 'enterprise', thus sustaining a pervasive politics of homo economicus agents living a 'measured life' in competition-based individuality.Organizational Entrepreneurship, Politics and the Political disconnects entrepreneurship from the politics of enterprise to more fully explore its potential to resist the economic and ethical demand of the enterprise to be instrumentally innovative and instead to disrupt and disturb the established order. As such, entrepreneurship is seen as inevitably political – it is a constant attempt at declassifying existing structures and institutions, de-normalizing practices and sensemaking to make room for and initiate the new. The chapters invite the readers to revisit key concepts in entrepreneurship studies – opportunity, motivation, identity, experimentation, creative destruction and experimentation – by approaching them through a political process lens. This book offers a new conceptual repertoire and vocabulary that reconnects entrepreneurship studies with the socio-political dimensions of organization-creation, opening up multiple possibilities for understanding and questioning the meanings and effects of entrepreneurship in society. Combining philosophical reflections with organizational and processual perspectives, this book will be of interest to academics, students and researchers in the areas of business, social and political entrepreneurship, organization studies and management. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the Entrepreneurship and Regional Development.

When re-imagining, re-thinking, and re-writing entrepreneurship in this book, the authors have come to the conclusion that the concept that describes it most precisely is one that signifies a process that includes imagining, seductively describing, playfully organizing, political agility in navigating common sense, and business sensibility before possible commerce.This book develops a process theory of entrepreneurship by exploring how key concepts in such a theory – affect, desire, assemblage – allow us to think about entrepreneurship differently. This makes a significant contribution to bridging the fields of entrepreneurship and organization studies. Using literature and literary characters and their stories as main sources, entrepreneurship research is here revitalized, and the result provides students of entrepreneurship processes with new conceptual opportunities. The book is also a contribution to a multi-disciplinary research tradition in social sciences more broadly where humanities is a key “conversation partner”. Undergraduates in entrepreneurship, PhD students, and entrepreneurship and organization scholars will find this to be a refreshing renewal of research into entrepreneurship and the creation of organization.

A critical exploration of how passion can create more effective organizations, Passionately Transforming Management restores curiosity and joy to management education. Climate change and the rapidly shifting balance of global geo-political power are changing the conditions within which organizations operate, and big data and AI are altering the criteria for a successful manager. By critically disrupting existing literature on management in education, O’Doherty and Hjorth reimagine a syllabus for management and organization by drawing on research that shows how successful businesses and entrepreneurs are those that have followed their private passions.Authored by leading members of the management and organization studies community with a wealth of experience, this concise book exposes the diverse potential of management in contributing to business success by foregrounding how passion – be it for science fiction, computer games, drum and bass, poetry or football – is vital to become a reflexive and effective manager. This is the ideal book for researchers in search of playful alternatives and advances in management theory and practice, original teachings in organization studies and critical management studies, and regenerative university course outlines and reading lists.

At last, a book that focuses on trendsetting thinking and research in the field of entrepreneurship and sets an agenda for current and future movements in the field. The aim of the book is to advance entrepreneurship research, focussing on the following four key movements: broad movements within the academic field of entrepreneurship and how to move it further in terms of new frameworks, theories and methodologiesmovements in the concept of entrepreneurship through project-based, action-based, enactment based and discourse-based approachesknowledge-based entrepreneurship and the processes in which the role of universities, new organisations, regions and cities are connected and exemplifiedglobal, ethnic, transformed and new economies and how entrepreneurship contributes to renewing economies and moving beyond just economics to view the effects of entrepreneurship on societies.Students and scholars of entrepreneurship and business administration will find this a clear yet far-reaching account of the movement of entrepreneurship research.

Incorporating linguistic, cultural, and narrative turning points in the social sciences that have changed the way we think, study, analyse and practice research, this book demonstrates new ways of examining entrepreneurship as a societal phenomenon.Following on from New Movements in Entrepreneurship, this is the second volume in a mini-series on movements in entrepreneurship. It aims to forward the study of entrepreneurship by stimulating and exploring new ideas and research practices in relation to new themes, theories, methods, pragmatic stances and contexts. The book explores different experiences and accounts of entrepreneurship, as well as reflections on 'story telling' in entrepreneurship research, discursive studies, and debates on how to interpret narrative and discursive work.This fascinating book will provide students and researchers of entrepreneurship, business administration and management with inspiring empirical research, and valuable discussions on how to study and write (on) entrepreneurship.

This fourth book in the New Movements in Entrepreneurship series focuses on the politics and aesthetics of entrepreneurial processes, in order to shed light on entrepreneurial creation itself.Presenting original empirical material, the eminent contributors examine control and entrepreneurship in various organizational contexts. They go on to demonstrate how control can be exercised entrepreneurially, how art brings an entrepreneurial force into society, and how entrepreneurship operates by aesthetic moves. The need to move beyond the traditional focus on the economic and business implications of entrepreneurship is also discussed, as is the relevance of political and aesthetic theory to our understanding of entrepreneurship as a creative force.The book provides entrepreneurship studies with a new language, that in itself is an aesthetic effort with political implications, resulting in new theoretical, empirical and practical possibilities. It will prove a fascinating read for students, academics and researchers with an interest in entrepreneurship and management and creativity and aesthetics.

This book - the third in the Movements in Entrepreneurship series - examines entrepreneurship as a societal phenomenon. It provides an in-depth study of the social aspects of entrepreneurship, illustrating how entrepreneurship affects society. The need to move beyond economy to disclose entrepreneurship in its societal forms is demonstrated, as is the relevance of our understanding of entrepreneurship as a societal phenomenon. The contributors show that entrepreneurship is a society-creating force and as such, it evokes new questions for entrepreneurship research and attempts to engage with new theoretical formulations. They begin with discussions on early Schumpeter and a rhetorical analysis of the current academic literature on social entrepreneurship. They go on to present myriad contextual examples of how entrepreneurship can shape social change, and indicate how this is initiated through various social settings, relationships and communities.Through rich empirical work this book explores the social of 'social entrepreneurship' and in doing so shows us how entrepreneurship is at home where society is created. As such, it will prove a fascinating read for academics, researchers and students with an interest in entrepreneurship, sociology and economic sociology.

Börsrätt är ett allmänt begrepp för regleringen av värdepappersmarknaden. I Sverige började börsrätten utvecklas i samband med EU-inträdet i mitten av 1990-talet. Under senare år har den genomgått en omfattande och snabb förändring. Utvecklingen betingas bland annat av de många EU-rättsliga direktiv och förordningar som successivt arbetas fram, globaliseringen av värdepappersmarknaden, finansmarknadens kriser samt finansiell och teknisk innovation.För alla som på något sätt utsätts för den massiva utvecklingen på värdepappersmarknaden söker denna bok åstadkomma en sammanhållen plattform av information som utgångspunkt för praktisk tillämpning och utbildning. Läsaren får i denna femte upplaga såväl en uppdaterad presentation av de aktuella regelverken som en god inblick i praktik och systematik, genom bidrag från experter verksamma på värdepappersmarknaden. Exempel på börsrättsliga områden som beskrivs är:• notering, emissioner och prospekt• kontoföring, clearing och avveckling• information, insynspersoners rapportering och flaggning• tillsyn, övervakning och sanktioner• investerarskydd och minoritetsskydd• offentliga uppköpserbjudanden• återköp och incitamentsprogram • bolagsstyrning och hållbarhetsrapportering.Börsrätt vänder sig till ledande befattningshavare på börsbolag, advokater, revisorer, bolagsjurister och rådgivare som kommer i kontakt med börsrättsliga frågor samt till studerande på specialkurser på juristutbildningar, finansiell ekonomi och affärsjuridiska program.
