“…However, linking time into institutional change is much more complicated issue (discussed e.g. by Granqvist & Gustafsson, 2016) and spans outside the scope of this analysis but clearly forms an important avenue for the future research.…”

“…Cultural entrepreneurship (Lounsbury & Glynn, ) and rhetorical history (Suddaby et al, ) approaches that are based on narrative forms of entrepreneurial action (Garud & Giuliani, ; Hjorth & Steyaert, ) gravitate to the bottom right. Recent research on entrepreneurial action as temporal work could be categorized toward the bottom left (Granqvist & Gustaffson, ; Wood et al, ). And, entrepreneurship research based in social movements (Hiatt et al, ) and institutional change (Hargadon & Douglas, ) would cluster in the center.…”

Research Summary We articulate the value of historical methods and reasoning in strategic entrepreneurship research and theory. We begin by introducing the papers in the special issue, contextualizing each within one of five broader methodological approaches, and elaborating on the applicability of each to other topics in entrepreneurship research. Next, we use the papers to induce a framework for integrating history into entrepreneurship theory. The framework demonstrates how historical assumptions play a formative role in operationalizing time and context in entrepreneurship research. We then show how variations in these treatments of time and context shape theoretical claims about entrepreneurial opportunities, actions, and processes of change. We conclude by discussing why this may be a particularly opportune time for strategic entrepreneurship research to develop a deeper historical sensibility. Managerial Summary History can serve as an especially important guide to understanding entrepreneurship during moments of change. We draw on articles from the special issue on “Historical Approaches to Entrepreneurship Research” to illustrate different forms of historical reasoning and research about entrepreneurship. Moreover, we use the articles to develop a framework for understanding how historical context and time shape entrepreneurial opportunities, actions, and processes of change. We emphasize, in particular, the value of history in understanding variations in entrepreneurial practices.

“…However, whilst both these studies are crucial in highlighting the importance of actors’ construction of time, they largely remain silent on how time is active in the innovation process. That is to say, we know that ‘temporal structures’ (Orlikowski and Yates, 2002; Granqvist and Gustafsson, 2016; Schultz and Hernes, 2020), which reflect the structuring of time [by actors] into past and future events and horizons that are particular to an organisation are important. However, we do not yet fully understand how time itself structures or at least participates in the management of innovation, in terms of how it recursively influences actors and innovation activities.…”

In search of lost time: the temporal construction of innovation management

This paper presents a methodology that is new to the field of innovation management research (IMR), and which is founded upon current interest in theories of time and temporality within organisation studies. We argue that although time is of central importance to innovation management, established methodologies treat time as simply the background against which organisation is done. Even when research is conceptually framed to afford greater attention to time, established methodologies only succeed in highlighting the importance of managers' mobilisation of the past, present and future of innovations. In contrast, we present a methodology that affords time (rather than innovation actors) the more prominent role in analyses and explanations of innovation management. While established research methodologies might offer accounts of the social construction of organisational innovation, we elaborate its temporal construction. The paper reviews the ways in which time and temporality have been deployed (conceptually and methodologically) within IMR. Following a detailed account of the new methodology, its value to innovation management scholarship is demonstrated with a short illustration in which new insights are presented into the emergence of novelty during the management of innovation. The paper concludes with suggestions of areas within IMR where this methodology may generate new insights.
