Cultural Entrepreneurship in Action: Innovative Methods and Research Designs
Saturday, Aug 8 2015 10:15AM - 12:30PM
Offsite in UBC Robson Square- Room C130
Sponsors: OMT, TIM, RM, GDO, PNP
Now in its fourth year, this year we focus on innovative methods!
This PDW is designed to offer participants hands-on experience with methodologies for studying entrepreneurship and innovation through theoretical approaches associated with cultural sociology. The backdrop for the PDW is increasing recognition across entrepreneurship and innovation research that cultural resources such as frames, discourses or narratives are an integral part of an on-going process by which entrepreneurs create new ventures or innovations and communicate about them with their stakeholders to acquire much needed capital and support. Although the role of culture in general has been acknowledged in prior research and there has been important theoretical progress, researchers in this area often face steep methodological challenges. Given growing interest in adopting cultural approaches to understanding the nature of entrepreneurship and innovation, in this PDW we aim to provide direct access to a valuable set of methodological resources and protocols for exploring these issues in different contexts. Thus, the purpose of this PDW is to bring together methodological experts from different disciplines who are experienced in the use of cultural and narrative approaches to run a PDW, which will enable others to do more work in this area. In particular, PhD students and junior scholars with data on entrepreneurial or innovative activities who are interested in adopting such an approach will benefit from the workshop.
Meets at UBC Robson Square Room C130 from 10:15-12:30. UBC Robson Square is located at 800 Robson Street (between Hornby and Howe Streets).
