Organizational Entrepreneurship

With de Certeau on Creating Heterotopias (or Spaces for Play)

Daniel Hjorth

Växjö and Malmö Universities, and ESBRI-Stockholm, Sweden

Focusing on the relation between work as a managerially ordered place and conditions for creativity within such an order, this article uses a number of spatial concepts to elaborate on organizational entrepreneurship as creation of space for play/invention. Organizational entrepreneurship is understood as constituting a silent history of organization and management theory. In crafting a history of the present of entrepreneurship, the author distances it from how it has become represented in management (enterprise) discourse. Michel de Certeau’s concepts of space and place and of strategy and tactics together with Michel Foucault’s concept of heterotopia allow the author to describe and analyze a case where an artists-company collaboration resulted in an entrepreneurial event, transforming work and surprising management.

Key Words: entrepreneurship • managerialism • Michel de Certeau • silent histories • spacing • heterotopia
