Artikeln belyser samtidens och populärlitteraturens bild av den småländska bygden genom Ewa Klingbergs Huskvarnasvit. Hos Klingberg är den lokala förankringen i Småland och Huskvarna central, ända ner på gatunamnsnivå. Men även om lantidyllen och typiska smålandspigor och drängar förekommer, är det en annan sida av detsmåländska lynnet som dominerar: entreprenörskapet. Artikeln visar att Klingberg har uppdaterar den etablerade, manligt kodade bilden av den småländska entreprenören genom att hon skriver fram de kvinnliga entreprenörerna ur historien och i samtiden., This article explores the image of Småland in contemporary popular fiction through Ewa Klingberg's Huskvarnasviten. Strong local connections as well as traditional images are discussed. However, it is argued that the central component in Klingberg's portrayal of Småland is the entrepreneur. The article further argues that Klingberg has updated the established, masculinely coded image of the Småland entrepreneur by revoking historical female entpreneurs as well as thematizing contemporary female entrepreneurship.

In both the study and the practice of entrepreneurship, the phenomenon of entrepreneurship is recurrently put forward as a key, or even the key, to resolving many of today’s social, ecological, and economic challenges. However, research shows that entrepreneurs who pursue social change risk overlooking or excluding certain worldviews, values, and ways of living. This thesis examines how entrepreneurial practices can create responsible social change. The study draws on ethnographic work and explores a new initiative launched by the Swedish furniture company IKEA – IKEA’s Partnership with Social Entrepreneurs. The aim of the initiative is to start collaborations with social entrepreneurs around the world, and to support their social change work, particularly when it comes to empowering women. The thesis further sheds new light on ethical and political aspects of entrepreneurship by using the insights and concepts of philosopher Simon Critchley. The thesis comes to four main conclusions. First, the study shows that the pursuit of social change requires that a variety of, sometimes contradictory, practices be performed. Second, the study shows that this particular change work and initiative have the positive and responsible outcome of generating a multiplicity of new autonomous spaces that enable the women involved to live more worthwhile lives. Third, the study shows that creating responsible social change is ‘infinitely demanding’ because responding responsibly to another person’s desires and strivings is tremendously challenging, and the number of people to which one can respond is similarly overwhelming. Fourth, the study shows that the complexity of creating responsible social change can be handled through the practices of a faithless faith (i.e., fidelity to a lived subjective commitment) and humour (i.e., the humorous acknowledgment and acceptance of one’s limits as a human being). The major contribution of this thesis is that it enriches our understandin

The purpose of this thesis is to, from a governing perspective, describe and enhance the understanding of the form entrepreneurial learning takes in lower and upper secondary schools’ practice, and its effects in terms of which approaches and practices are strengthened and marginalized. The context of this thesis is the industrial policy work to implement entrepreneurship in the Swedish educational system in 1996–2009. Industrial policy with its objectives concerning more companies and an entrepreneurial citizen is pervaded by expectations of the impacts of entrepreneurship. Discussing entrepreneurial learning as a governing tech­nology, based on Rose's development of Foucault's concept govern­mentality, provides a distance from these expectations and put productive power and complexity into focus. The governing perspective allows for the visualization of how an educational concept in entrepreneurial learning contributes to hierarchies of what is considered valuable but also how the fostering of the entrepreneurial citizen is made possible. I have followed three regional projects aimed at supporting teachers to implement entrepreneurship in their teaching practice. The analysed material includes observations of teacher training in entrepreneurial learning, inter­views with participating teachers and principals, as well as project documents, policy documents and entrepreneurship research. This thesis contributes to 'governing research' which use governmentality to understand entrepreneurship related to education. I show how entrepreneurial learning affects teachers’ subjectivities, how they should be and act, through the production of the entrepreneurial teacher, and what ways to be as a teacher this governing technology marginalizes. I also show how an educational concept in entrepreneurial learning enables governing at a distance by creating links between policy, entrepreneurship research, and teachers. These links contribute to teachers embracing entrepreneurial l

Finns det något som vi kan kalla för småländskt ledarskap? Hur kan det i så fall beskrivas? Vilka möjligheter och begränsningar finns? Den här boken erbjuder några inledande betraktelser av dessa frågor. Vi vill med boken stimulera till samtal på och utanför våra arbetsplatser. Boken är en del i en större satsning där vi sätter ledarskap i fokus och arbetar med det - tillsammans: Chefer, ledare, forskare, studenter och andra intresserade. Ju mer vi kan utveckla bra ledarskap, desto bättre blir organisationerna för dess medarbetare och för det samhälle vi lever i.
