The notion of institutional entrepreneurship has become very popular in the last decade. Starting from a review of the literature on the topic, I first focus on the use of the idea of individual entrepreneurs and point out three theoretical incongruities it produces. I then discuss notions of collective entrepreneurship and institutional work to see if they can overcome these incongruities. I conclude that although they can remedy some of the problems, these notions run the risk of describing everything until they describe nothing. In order to limit and enable the entrepreneurship literature to discuss agency meaningfully, I argue, it needs to develop analytical frames of agency derived either from existing sociological theories or from further developing its own brand of agency theory.

Like business executives and politicians, academics form part of the super-mobile population of the global north. Their freedom to travel, which entails a freedom from certain local obligations, is not always voluntary but part and parcel of professional expectations and is subject to peer and managerial evaluation. In this article, we argue that there are a lot of structural and institutional constraints built into academic mobility. The original notion of intellectual detachment and academic freedom has developed into a demand for social and moral detachment by the ever-growing circuit of international 'visibility' as celebrated at international conferences. It excludes all those whose attachment to persons or causes requires bodily presence, and such an exclusion transforms the contents and values of academic knowledge -not for the better, we believe.

This paper attempts a typification of processes views in organization studies. As a basis for our analysis, we assume that distinctions may be drawn is the way that entities are conceptualised in the analysis, what we refer to as the process of "entification". From this point of departure we explore four different process views, namely: process as flows, process as programmes, process as recursive reproduction and process as connectivity. The first two views; process as flows and process as programmes tend to build on the assumption that the processes take place within relatively stable entified contexts, such as the organization or the institutional environment. This we refer to as an "exogenous" view. A second set of views of process is what we refer to as "endogenous" views. These two views are what we call endogenous, as they assume that entification resides in the process itself. Organization as process

In this paper, I propose a middle way between current process and substance theorising as I argue that both "pure" views are fraught with theoretical problems. I base my proposal on the ontologies of Aristotle and A.N. Whitehead, who both maintain that being and becoming are equally important for a comprehensive analysis of change processes. Drawing on their insights, I develop a conceptual frame that distinguishes between change and becoming, and proposes to use the pairs of potentiality-actuality and activity-relationality as notions that are less fraught with conceptual baggage and more relevant empirically than the distinction between substance and process.

To compensate for that, their cruises were sometimes cut short -often terminally so -by two horrible monsters called Scylla and Charybdis. This bad luck also befell Odysseus on his extended cruise:"Scylla was a supernatural creature, with twelve feet and six heads on long, snaky necks, each head having a triple row of sharklike teeth, while her loins were girt with the heads of baying dogs. From her lair in a cave she devoured whatever ventured within reach,
