Potentials and limitations of podcasts as an assessment format for teacher students – a comparative case study from human geography
Podcasts become more and more popular in university teaching and learning. However, there is a lack of systematic understanding of how podcasts used as assessment format impact students’ competence gains compared to conventional written assignments. This study explores the potentials and limitations of using podcasts as an assessment format for education students. A human geography study project for teacher students at a German university serves …
Entrepreneurial ecosystem as a spatially fluid concept: New territorial perspectives on entrepreneurship
Digitalization of social infrastructure in left-behind-places – Empirical example of schools in Thuringia, Germany
The study of “Left-Behind-Places” (LBPs) in literature has revitalized geographical inequalities across disciplines. In this context, social infrastructure is gaining prominence, with schools being a key component. Schools not only foster education, employment, and community values but also support economic sustainability. Developments in today's society underscore the need of digitalized schools, ensuring schools remain attractive to qualified p…
A gender-specific view on entrepreneurial recovery – effects on and responses of micro-entrepreneurs during the Covid-19 pandemic in Germany
Purpose Given the adversity of the COVID-19 pandemic, there remains an incomplete understanding of the gender disparities in the affectedness and recovery of micro-entrepreneurs from the crisis. Consequently, this paper aims to scrutinise gender disparities in the initial repercussions of the crisis and throughout the recovery phase. Design/methodology/approach Acknowledging the interconnectedness of micro-entrepreneurs’ professional and private …
Production of knowledge on climate change perception – actors, approaches, and dimensions
Research on perceptions of climate change impacts contributes to understanding motivations for adaptation action and increases the legitimacy of climate adaptation research and policy. The body of literature on climate change perception (CCP) is extensive. Given that the perception of climate change is commonly presented as being dependent on an individual's sociocultural and spatial contexts and that climate change is an abstract concept with di…
Work futures: Globalization, planetary markets, and uneven developments in the gig economy
The world of work is changing rapidly in myriad ways. The processes of digitization are enabling workers from different parts of the world to compete in a global market over the Internet without moving to different locations. Many employers are opting for hybrid working solutions in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, some commentators have suggested the end of globalization, while others are hoping that a fairer society will emerge. Thi…
Recruiting and integrating international high-skilled migrants – Towards a typology of firms in rural regions in Germany
In rural regions in Germany, significant demographic shifts have raised the question as to whether increased employment of international high-skilled migrants can help to address pressing challenges, i.e., a shortage of labor, a lack of corporate internationalization, and reduced innovation activities. While firms play a key role in this context by actively recruiting migrants and harnessing their skills and competences, little is still known abo…
Regions, emotions and left-behindness: A phase model for understanding the emergence of regional embitterment
Discontent is an important feature of ‘left-behind places’, often reflected by a high percentage of voting for populist parties. Drawing on insights from psychology, we extend previous analyses by focusing on collective embitterment as the central underlying emotional state in a region. Arguing that such negative emotions do not arise ‘out of the blue’, we develop a four-phase model of regional embitterment that accounts for the emotional charact…
Participation in Online Research: Towards a Typology of Research Subjects with Regard to Digital Access and Literacy
The Covid-19 pandemic has severely impacted empirical research practices relying on face-to-face interactions, such as interviews and group discussions. Confronted with pandemic management measures such as lockdowns, researchers at the height of the pandemic were widely limited to the use of online methods that did not enable direct contact with their research subjects. Even as the pandemic subsides, online data collection procedures are being wi…
Praxeologische Feldforschung – Reichweite, Tragweite, Importanz und Relevanz als Analysekategorien
This paper develops three analytical categories – range, supporting capacity, exigency/notability – to capture how supra-individual phenomena affect the people studied by empirical research. Researchers face a tension between constructivist and realist perspectives as the examined phenomena are simultaneously social constructs, in the way people perceive and understand them, and social facts in their consequences. Taking a critical perspective on…
Spatialities of entrepreneurial ecosystems
The concept of entrepreneurial ecosystems has gained tremendous attention in academia across different scientific disciplines. This start-of-the-art contribution addresses the most recent lineages of the entrepreneurial ecosystem debate from a spatial perspective: measurement of entrepreneurial ecosystems, entrepreneurial evolution, novel actors, institutions and events, governance as well as gender in entrepreneurial ecosystems. The theoretical …

The evolution of entrepreneurial ecosystems and the critical role of migrants. A Phase-Model based on a Study of IT startups in the Greater Tel Aviv Area
Unlike existing studies on entrepreneurial ecosystems that focus on the internal dynamics of such systems, this article argues that entrepreneurial ecosystems are linked to one another through economically specialised migrants that trigger their emergence and positively affect their future development. To illustrate the relation between migration and the dynamics of entrepreneurial ecosystems, a model is presented that distinguishes three differe…
The role of organizational culture in policy mobilities – the case of South Korean climate change adaptation policies
The conceptualization of policies as mobile and mutable knowledge is the key feature of the recent debate on policy mobilities. Policy mobility studies have focused on the movement and translation of policies as well as on the impact of mobile policies on policy-making processes and governed spaces. Given that policy mobilities have mainly been examined in comparable institutional contexts, the current debate has neglected the role of organizatio…
