An academic challenge to the entrepreneurial university: The spatial power of the 'Slow Swimming Club
The entrepreneurial university is a vague notion that has evolved by applying the concepts of enterprise and entrepreneurship to a university context. The blurring of enterprise with entrepreneurship has allowed the entrepreneurial university to be increasingly underpinned by a managerialist discourse, typified by functionalisation and marketisation; culminating in academic disempowerment, dissatisfaction and subsequent disengagement. In response…
Ethnic Managerialism and Its Discontents: Policy implementation and ‘ethnic minority businesses’
Encouraging ethnic minorities to engage in a ‘culture of enterprise’ is a feature of New Labour's small-firm policy agenda. One manifestation of this is the increased activity on the part of ‘ethnic brokers’ involved in enterprise support. These developments appear to be detached from discussions in sociological circles alluding to the relational and contingent nature of ethnicity, and the concomitant inadequacy of racial categories that flourish…
All Credit to Men? Entrepreneurship, Finance, and Gender
Availability of, and access to finance is a critical element to the start–up and consequent performance of any enterprise. Hence, any barriers or impediments to accessing appropriate levels or sources of funding will have an enduring and negative impact upon the performance of affected firms. Although findings have been somewhat inconsistent, there is support for the notion that women entrepreneurs entering self–employment are disadvantaged by th…

Local Authorities, Business and LA21: A Study of East Midlands Sustainable Development Partnerships
Following the Earth Summit in 1992, most UK local authorities have pursued sustainable development through Local Agenda 21 (LA21) partnerships. However, few academic or practitioner studies have examined the degree to which partnership processes are suitable for LA21. Local Agenda 21 seeks to be inclusive of all community interests and stresses the need to involve local businesses. This paper reports on research undertaken between 1998 and 1999 e…
Developing Local Agenda 21: A Case Study of Five Local Authorities in the Uk
It has become increasingly recognized that effective responses to the environmental challenge demand action by all sections of the community and that much of this action must occur at the local level and involve local government. Following the Earth Summit in Rio (1992), local authorities have become the focus of an attempt to create strategies for ‘sustainable development’ under the Local Agenda 21 initiative (LA21), endorsed by national governm…
