Incorporating linguistic, cultural, and narrative turning points in the social sciences that have changed the way we think, study, analyse and practice research, this book demonstrates new ways of examining entrepreneurship as a societal phenomenon.
Following on from New Movements in Entrepreneurship, this is the second volume in a mini-series on movements in entrepreneurship. It aims to forward the study of entrepreneurship by stimulating and exploring new ideas and research practices in relation to new themes, theories, methods, pragmatic stances and contexts. The book explores different experiences and accounts of entrepreneurship, as well as reflections on ‘story telling’ in entrepreneurship research, discursive studies, and debates on how to interpret narrative and discursive work.
这本引人入胜的书将为企业家精神，企业管理和管理的学生和研究人员提供鼓舞人心的经验研究，并就如何研究和写作（开）进行企业家精神进行有价值的讨论。

‘。。。the four books comprising the series would certainly be a valuable addition to any entrepreneurship library. However, each book also stands alone as an individual purchase.’
– Lorraine Warren, International Journal of Entrepreneurial Behaviour and Research
‘The book delivers what it promises: a map of the uses of narrative methods in entrepreneurship studies. It is both an interesting contribution to the field and an important methodological handbook for all entrepreneurship researchers who are thinking of adopting qualitative methods in their inquiries. However, it may also be read with advantage by other researchers using ethnography as their main methodological approach to social studies. . . The aim of the book is to show how narratives can enrich entrepreneurship
studies, a goal that in my opinion is aptly fulfilled.’
- 莫妮卡·科斯特拉（Monika Kostera），斯堪的纳维亚管理杂志
‘。。。本文中的贡献者呼吸了新鲜和想象力的语言资源以及参考的叙事/话语框架，以探究企业家活动。因此，轶事，叙事，隐喻，话语和戏剧性是重要的，不仅是因为它们带来了（日常）企业家活动的表面声音，情感，过程和关系，这些活动可能先前沉默。而且，为了解释Steyaert，这些方法突出了研究过程中有争议的互动方面。。。欢迎文本是因为它以严肃而学术的方式对待叙事。’
– Denise Fletcher, International Small Business Journal
“编辑书叙述和散漫的应用roaches in Entrepreneurship, Daniel Hjorth and Chris Steyaert provide a fascinating glimpse into a perspective on entrepreneurship that will be enlightening for many readers. Entrepreneurship authors typically talk about theory, methods, and data as if a straight-forward linear process united them all, and making sense of entrepreneurship was simply a matter of knowing how to interpret one’s “findings”. By contrast, the authors in this volume propose narrative and discursive approaches in which the contributing authors emphasize rich description, reflexive conceptualization, and interpretations offered as part of the story itself. They draw upon an international set of cases, including Russia, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Venezuela, and North America. The cases themselves make for fascinating reading, quite apart from what we learn about the difficulties of imposing a particular interpretation on a given story. For example, taxi drivers in Caracas, management consultants in Denmark, and women entrepreneurs in northern Norway all make for fascinating narratives from which to understand the entrepreneurial process. Unlike many edited books which have no “plot”, the editors have included opening and closing sections that link the chapters, offer alternative readings of them, and propose new and expansive ways of thinking about entrepreneurship.’
– Howard Aldrich, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, US
‘Daniel Hjorth and Chris Steyaert set out to advance the study of entrepreneurship by refocusing the lens of discovery from economics, management and marketing to other paradigmatic stances in social sciences and humanities like anthropology and literary studies. The result is a provocative collection of chapters that inspire the reader to consider and explore new ideas and research practice that incorporate both the context and place of entrepreneurship. From the perceptive insights of the editors to the rigorous and provocative discourse of the chapters and thoughtful responses in the conclusion emerges a story, in the best of storytelling tradition, about how a “linguistic turn” can rouse new insights. The editors ask, “how do these texts move you?” – they entice, provoke, challenge, stimulate and guide. Their implications should be far reaching and required reading for any student of the entrepreneurial phenomenon. The editors take us, indeed, to “unexplored destinations”.’
