A Research Agenda for the Entrepreneurial University
This far-reaching Research Agenda highlights the main features of entrepreneurial university research over the two decades since the concept was first introduced, and examines how technological, environmental and social changes will affect future research questions and themes. It revisits existing research that tends to adopt either an idealised or a sceptical view of the entrepreneurial university, arguing for further investigation and the development of bridges between these two strands.
New Movements in Academic Entrepreneurship
Focusing on academic entrepreneurship in the university context, the authors explore how researchers, teachers, students, academic managers and administrators make sense of entrepreneurship and of the paradoxes and contradictions involved. The book investigates how these diverse entrepreneurial actors and their stakeholders interpret and analyse entrepreneurial activities within the university ecosystem.
A Research Agenda for Organization Studies, Feminisms and New Materialisms

Gender, Identity and the Culture of Organizations
Gender, Identity and the Culture of Organizations considers how organizations operate as spaces in which minds are gendered and men and women constructed. This edited collection brings together four powerful themes that have developed within the field of organizational analysis over the past two decades: organizational culture; the gendering of organizations; post-modernism and organizational analysis; and critical approaches to management. A range of essays by distinguished writers from countries including the UK, USA, Canada, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, the Netherlands and Sweden, explore innovative methods for the critical theorizing of organizational cultures. In particular, the book reflects the growing interest in the impact of organizational identity formation and its implications for individuals and organizational outcomes in terms of gender. The book also introduces research designs, methods and methodologies by which can be used to explore the complex interrelationships between gender, identity and the culture of organizations.
Understanding the Small Family Business
It is estimated that family businesses comprise between 60-90 % of all firms in Europe and the United States. This book makes an important contribution to the understanding of small family firms by bringing together a number of key themes in management/organisation studies. Reviewing a range of theoretical approaches, examining key literature and drawing from an international range of primary research, it also points to the future of research in this arena, and indicates how support and policy initiatives may be directed in the future.
Gender und Diversity: Albtraum oder Traumpaar?
Seit den 1990er Jahren haben neue Ansätze und Begriffe in Deutschland Bewegung in die schwerfällig gewordene gleichstellungspolitische Debatte gebracht und diese Problematik wieder stärker in das öffentliche und wissenschaftliche Interesse gerückt. War es zunächst die auf europäischer Ebene vereinbarte Strategie des Gender Mainstreaming, die die gleichstellungspolitischen Debatten belebte, ist es inzwischen die ursprünglich in den USA entwickelte Unternehmensstrategie des Managing Diversity, von der die neuesten Impulse ausgehen. Beide Innovationen gehen mit grundlegenden Infragestellungen der bisherigen Praxis von Gleichstellungspolitiken einher und haben damit einen enormen Bedarf auch an wissenschaftlich begründeter Reflexion und Orientierung ausgelöst. Hierzu möchte dieses Buch einen Beitrag leisten.
