Explaining Management Phenomena
One key objective of management research is to explain business phenomena. Yet understanding the nature of explanation is essentially a topic in philosophy. This is the first book that bridges the gap between a technical, philosophical treatment of the topic and the more practical needs of management scholars, as well as others across the social sciences. It explores how management phenomena can be explained from a philosophical perspective, and renders sophisticated philosophical arguments understandable by readers without specialized training. Covering virtually all the major aspects of the nature of explanation, this work will enhance empirical and theoretical research, as well as approaches combining the two. With many examples from management literature and business news, this study helps scholars in those fields to improve their research outcomes.
Philosophical Reflexivity and Entrepreneurship Research
"‘Philosophy is inescapable’. This is the powerful mantra and call to action of this authoritative and informative collection of essays. Acting upon the conviction that empirical scrutiny only takes us so far in understanding the full nature of entrepreneurship, this text provides a set of thoughtful, and refreshing commentaries on the different ways in which philosophical assumptions shape entrepreneurship research. Entrepreneurship scholarship will be richer for the reading of it." Denise Elaine Fletcher, Professor of Entrepreneurship and Innovation, University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg.

Kirche neu gründen
Auch wenn Kirche nicht wie eine Firma oder ein Verein im Ganzen neu gegründet werden kann, so ist doch unverkennbar, dass die Kompetenz zu pastoralen Neugründungen und Innovationsvorhaben zum notwendigen Rüstzeug einer zukunftsfähigen Kirche gehört. Kirche lebt hierzulande in Gründerzeiten. Die Studie begeht daher erstmals das interdisziplinäre Querschnittsfeld von ökonomischer Entrepreneurship-Forschung und einer Theologie des Gründens. Abduktiv wird die Konzilsmetapher der "Zeichen der Zeit" als kairologisch-unternehmerische Gelegenheit interpretiert. Hieraus erwachsen ungewohnt präzise Hypothesen zu einer ko-kreativen Pastoraltheologie der Innovation. Diese belässt es nicht bei kriteriologischen Vermutungen, sondern gipfelt in klaren Hinweisen, wie "Gründerkompetenz" entlang der gesamten Personalwertschöpfungskette modelliert und vermittelt werden kann. Das Grundlagenwerk zum 2017 erschienenen Gründer*innenhandbuch für pastorale Start-Ups und Innovationsprojekte.
