Welcome to the Chair of Innovation and Entrepreneurship with focus on Japan/East Asia
Our group looks at organizations that are embedded into an institutional environment. In particular, we are concerned with i) the institutional implications for innovation, corporate culture and organizational design, and ii) how institutions change over time. We focus primarily on Japanese organizations and the Japanese context, but we also look at different institutional settings across countries. The Chair for the Study of Economic Institutions, Innovation and East Asian Development is affiliated to the "Interdisziplinäres Zentrum für Ostasienstudien (IZO)”.

+++ PUBLIC GUEST LECTURE BY PROF. MICHAEL LOUNSBURY +++
- Title: ENTREPRENEURIAL POSSIBILITIES:BROADENING THE SCOPE OF RESEARCH ON ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND MARKETS
- Speaker: Prof. Michael Lounsbury, Roger S. Smith Professor of Business at the Alberta School of Business - Department of Strategy, Entrepreneurship and Management.
- Organized by the Research Project CEDITRAA -- Cultural Entrepreneurship and Digital Transformation in Asia and Africa
- When: May 22, 2023, 10 AM
- Where: Goethe University Frankfurt, Room RuW 4.201
- Professor Lounsbury will present ideas from his recent book with Mary Ann Glynn entitled, Cultural Entrepreneurship: A New Agenda for the Study of Entrepreneurial Processes and Possibilities (Cambridge University Press, 2019). Cultural Entrepreneurship has been a rapidly growing scholarly conversation that has historically focused a great deal on how new entrepreneurial ventures gain legitimacy via storytelling. The book provides a critique of applied economic approaches to entrepreneurship, and argues for a more profoundly cultural approach that focalizes how field dynamics around future oriented stories constitute the identities of entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial possibilities, prefiguring the emergence of entrepreneurial dynamics. He will leverage the empirical case of nanotechnology to illustrate core arguments, but will also call for more diverse research from around the globe (e.g., Africa and Asia) in order to further flesh out the theory of cultural entrepreneurship.
