Entrepreneurs’ social identity and the preference of causal and effectual behaviours in start-up processes

Author's accepted version (postprint).This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in Entrepreneurship and Regional Development on 21/04/2016, available online: http://wwww.tandfonline.com/10.1080/08985626.2016.1155742.Available from 22/10/2017

Entrepreneurs’ social identity and the preference of causal and effectual behaviours in start-up processes

This paper examines how the social identity of an entrepreneur influences his or her behaviour when engaged in new venture formation. Building on the typology of entrepreneurial identities developed by Fauchart and Gruber, this study examines the relationship between the social identity of the entrepreneur and subsequent entrepreneurial behaviour using a mixed-method approach. Based on interviews with entrepreneurs in six start-ups within the tourism sector and on previous literature, three hypotheses were developed regarding the relationship between entrepreneurial identity and entrepreneurial behaviour (causation, effectuation). Subsequently, the hypotheses were tested using a survey among a sample of entrepreneurs who registered a new firm in 2013. The study finds that the entrepreneurial identity influences whether the individual predominantly engages in effectual or causal behaviour. Hence, the study contributes by focusing on entrepreneurial identity as an important factor shaping the behaviours of entrepreneurs. In addition, we add to the understanding of entrepreneurs as a heterogeneous group. Entrepreneurs vary in terms of their identity, and this variation has consequences for their entrepreneurial behaviour. Finally, by adopting a mixed-method approach, this study benefits from and contributes to the interaction of qualitative and quantitative data in entrepreneurship research. </p

Teaching sustainable entrepreneurship: Learning approaches, pedagogical methods and teaching tools

Hvilke læringstilnærminger, pedagogiske metoder og undervisningsverktøy er aktuelle å bruke for undervisere innen høyere utdanning i undervisning knyttet til bærekraft og entreprenørskap? Undervisning på bærekraftig entreprenørskap (UBE) kombinerer aspekter fra entreprenørskap og bærekraft gjennom å utvikle ferdigheter og kompetanser som skal bidra til et mer bærekraftig samfunn gjennom å opptre entreprenørielt og nytenkende. Selv om det er enighet om at dette er ferdigheter som er viktige å utvikle, er likevel spørsmålet om hvordan man bør utvikle disse ferdighetene debattert. Ved hjelp av intervjuer og gjennomgang av eksisterende litteratur gir vi i denne rapporten en oversikt over 13 læringstilnærminger, 15 pedagogiske metoder og 24 ulike læringsverktøy som vi mener er nyttige i UBE. Metodene og verktøyene er videre delt inn kategorier basert på deres bruk i arbeidslivet og i høyere utdanning. Dette gjør denne rapporten til en praktisk veileder og inspirasjonskilde for undervisere som ønsker å øke studentenes kunnskap, ferdigheter og kompetanse knyttet til bærekraftig entreprenørskap. Which learning approaches, pedagogical methods and teaching tools can educators at higher education institutions use to teach sustainable entrepreneurship? Sustainable entrepreneurship education combines those aspects from entrepreneurship and sustainability education to teach students the skills and competences needed to contribute to a sustainable society by acting entrepreneurially. Although there is consensus that these skills and competences are crucial to have, how they are taught is still debated. Using a review of the literature and interviews with practitioners and educators, this report offers an overview and discussion of 13 learning approaches, 15 pedagogical methods and 24 teaching tools for sustainable entrepreneurship education. The identified methods and tools are further divided into categories regarding their usage in business and higher education, making this report an inspirational hands-on toolkit for educators
