NOVO iz svijeta poduzetništva na PSP-u – Effectual Entrepreneurship

15.04.2010.

Istraživanje poduzetništva relativno je mlada disciplina koja je do nedavno bila usmjerena gotovo isključivo na prepoznavanje i otkrivanje prilika. Saras Sarasvathy, profesorica poduzetništva sa Darden Garduate School of Business, University of Virginia, SAD kroz svoj znanstveno istraživački rad uvela je novi način gledanja na poduzetništvo kao na aktivnost koja ne samo da otkriva već i “stvara” nove prilike, poduzeća, tržišta i institucije.
Imamo jedinstvenu priliku upoznati Saras Sarasvathy, svjetski priznatog stručnjaka iz područja Effectual Entrepreneurship sudjelovanjem na doktorskoj radionici (DREAM)  Doctoral Retreat on Entrepreneurship As „Making“ koja će se održati 31.05. – 04.06.2010. na Ekonomskom fakultetu u Osijeku, u trajanju od 30 sati.

Radionica je namijenjena:

– onima koji su zainteresirani za doktorat iz područja poduzetništva

– članovima akademske zajednice (profesorima, asistentima, poslijediplomskim studentima)

– zainteresiranima za nova saznanja iz područja poduzetništva

Uz Saras Sarasvathy u radionici sudjeluju profesori Stuart Read, IMD, Švicarska i Robert Wiltbank, Williamette University, Oregon, SAD. Za dodatne informacije i sudjelovanje na doktorskoj radionici prijavite se na e-mail dream@psp.efos.hr . Prijave se primaju do 23.04.2010., a broj polaznika je ograničen na 20.
Background for DREAM

Entrepreneurship research is a relatively young discipline that has until recently been focused on the recognition and discovery of opportunities. As it grows up and engages in a more serious conversation with the history of ideas, an additional exciting agenda might consist in researching entrepreneurship not only as finding but also as ‘making’ new opportunities, firms, markets and institutions. Intellectual inspiration for this agenda comes from works such as Herbert Simon’s Sciences of the Artificial, Nelson Goodman’s Ways of Worldmaking, and James Buchanan and Victor Vanberg’s Market as a Creative Process.

 

The DREAM Agenda

Through DREAM we will think through and map the possibilities for an agenda for entrepreneurship research that relaxes the assumption that most key variables in our models are exogenous to the decision process; that outcomes are largely determined through pre-existing stable relationships between those variables; and that we are caught in a strict dichotomous choice between micro and macro levels of analysis.
