On Tuesday 11 October 2011 I will be opening this year’s IS554 Research Seminar series at ISIG, Department of Management, with a presentation entitled “The Prominence and Order of Things: Describing E-Commerce Entrepreneurship.” It will be an overview of my research project on e-commerce entrepreneurship in the South of England. I will reflect on the empirical data collection process and review ways to order my findings into a final narrative. The title is meant to suggest that my approach to describing entrepreneurship is an object-orientated one, where I’m attempting to describe how the elements of a new enterprise are assembled, which involves tracing them to marketplaces where the construction of these elements begins as a collective process. But it is also meant to express that the challenges I face in the writing-up stage of the PhD have to do with deciding which things should be more prominent and how to order them. The talk will take place between 3-4pm in room 2.06 of the New Academic Building.
