Dear Colleagues,
Royston Greenwood and I are very pleased to announce that a new volume has been published in our Cambridge Elements Series. Cultural Entrepreneurship by Michael Lounsbury and Mary Ann Glynn provides an overview of cultural entrepreneurship scholarship and seeks to lay the foundation for a broader and more integrative research agenda at the interface of organization theory and entrepreneurship. Its scholarly agenda includes a range of phenomena from the legitimation of new ventures, to the construction of novel or alternative organizational or collective identities, and, at even more macro levels, to the emergence of new entrepreneurial possibilities and market categories.
Cultural Entrepreneurship is the fifth element of the Cambridge Elements in Organization Theory series. Elements are digital books that are available online or by print on demand. The purpose of the Cambridge Elements on Organization Theory is to concisely systematize and contribute to our understanding of organizations and organization theory. We envisage two types of Elements. One presents and discusses core and emerging theoretical perspectives and approaches. A second applies those perspectives to issues and outcomes, including those of long standing concern (such as achieving organizational change, managing innovation, the comparison of different types of organizations, etc.); and, more recent concerns (such as social, ethnic and gender inequality, corruption and wrongdoing, corporate social responsibility). The idea of this latter set of contributions is to show how organization theory speaks to these issues and thus highlights its application and relevance.
You can find more information on the series here: https://www.cambridge.org/core/what-we-publish/elements/organization-theory-elements. More importantly, you can find more information on Michael and Mary Ann's book here including a link to download it for free until January 28th: https://www.cambridge.org/core/elements/cultural-entrepreneurship/75EC2A1B677E591BEE686775FB113F3A
Happy reading and please feel free to get in touch if you would like to know more about the series or have suggestions for additional elements.
