“…Thus, narrators construct their stories against a particular demand (Silverman, 2017) even if no questions are asked. Prior research has also demonstrated that when interviews are kept fully open ended, women entrepreneurs often spontaneously include family and children in their entrepreneurial life stories (Mallon & Cohen, 2001), whereas men limit their narrations to the professional and business arenas and assign family to a minor position (Drakopoulou Dodd, 2002). For these reasons, we asked the participants questions about family, free time, and hobbies to prompt more encompassing life narratives.…”

This article investigates how fatherhood (or the prospect thereof) shapes entrepreneurial masculinities. Drawing on constructivist grounded theory, we analyze 22 life story interviews with Finnish men technology founders and identify three entrepreneurial masculinities enacted by men to accommodate concurrent normative ideals at the intersection of work and family life. These entrepreneurial masculinities alternatively maintain, restructure, and resist entrepreneurial and parental hegemonic masculinities and are subject to generational and situational scripts. We contribute to the gender and entrepreneurship literature by revealing that the neoliberal new father discourse blurs hegemonic masculinities leading entrepreneurial masculinities to emerge as hybrid hegemonic masculinities.

“…We believe that the six images could have wider application, framed metaphorically as images of serving, planting, building, resourcing, risking and coaching. The value of metaphor and analogy in entrepreneurship literature has been argued by Clarke and Holt (2017); (Dodd, 2002).…”

Entrepreneurship Education and Pedagogy

The Lighthouse was a learning activity that offered entrepreneurship pedagogy outside the academic structures of higher education, in a religious context, and among grassroots practitioners. Over three years, participants passionate about their local communities were gathered nationally from across Aotearoa New Zealand. A weekend workshop introduced two artifacts: an Idea to Mission Opportunity Canvas and a Next Steps template. These were process-facilitation structures that through contextualised approaches, empowered participants to embed entrepreneurship processes in their local context. Pedagogical concepts of boundary-crossing and collaborative spirals of learning provides ways to understand the Lighthouse as a transdisciplinary learning innovation. Boundary-crossing learning mechanisms, including identification, coordination, perspective-making and transformation, inform analysis of the weekend. The mechanisms of identification and coordination provided ways to subvert traditional clergy structures. A collaborative spiral of learning provided a way to weave together religious resources with entrepreneurial processes. Participants felt empowered by the perspective-making of the Apostle Paul as an innovator. Participant feedback pointed to the need for a fifth boundary crossing learning mechanism, life-long learning.

“…The business language used in the course, therefore, should be explained and connected using metaphors with non-business concepts, e.g. cash is the lifeblood of a business (Dodd, 2002).…”

Entrepreneurship in the General Education Curriculum: Ready or Not?

The general education curriculum is the foundation of the American higher education structure. Course topics in the curriculum span the boundaries of knowledge from the sciences to the humanities. Through these courses, students develop the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary for successfully navigating life. In this paper, we examine how entrepreneurship education extends the purpose and mission of a general education program. Our proposal is that an Introductory Entrepreneurship course exist in the GenEd curriculum, alongside the more established courses, so as to best prepare the 21 st century student for life beyond academia. The process of doing so is an entrepreneurial endeavor in itself and requires the development of relationships across campus. The goal herein is to offer a specific framework for understanding sources of resistance and how faculty can overcome these challenges to develop key strategies for initiating successful change.
