In this article we elaborate on the possibility to combine a social constructivist perspective and oral history within one methodological framework in order to explore how identities are narrated and negotiated in relation to different situations, contexts and interviewers. In oral history, the purpose is often to “give voice” to marginalized or forgotten individuals or groups, to listen to their stories and give them the possibility to speak from their perspectives. We agree with these emancipatory aims of oral history. Simultaneously we deconstruct and analyze interviews in order to investigate identity constructions. We work with the concepts of intersectionality and narrated identity, which allow us to investigate how groups and individuals that are marginalized and discriminated negotiate their own and other identities. At the same time it is unclear if our interviewees understand these kinds of analysis of their narratives. In order to combine a social constructivist perspective and oral history in a fruitful way, we must be aware of this relation of power and explain to the interviewees what we are doing and why we are doing it. In a broader research perspective this deconstructive approach illustrates interesting assumptions about multidimensional identity constructions.

Economic theories of the entrepreneur: a systematic review of the evidence

The complexity and ubiquitous nature of entrepreneurship field compelled it to evolve as a multidisciplinary subject area. Various academic fields have contributed at philosophical, conceptual and methodological levels to highlight the different facets of entrepreneurship. One has to get hold of any one side of the string to generate the basic understanding of “entrepreneurship” (phenomenon) and the “entrepreneur” (individual initiating the process) by reviewing the extant literature on the subject. The subject roots are in economics discipline but the treatment it received therein added further to its complexity, hence, no unanimous definition of entrepreneurship could be reached at. The paper therefore, aims to explicate the economic theories to offer a workable definition that can provide a fresh start to early academics in the discipline.

Locating the origin and role of entrepreneur in economic theories

Entrepreneurship academics emphasises that entrepreneurship research should embrace the complex process of entrepreneurial activity and the underlying contextual factors. Not only the entrepreneurial process but entrepreneurial learning too is equally influenced by variety of contextual factors because entrepreneurs continually have to respond to their environments. Gender and industry context are another dimensions that potentially add to this complexity. Present paper seeks to offer insights in to the use of grounded theory and narrative techniques for researching entrepreneurial learning of creative women entrepreneurs. In this article grounded theory and narrative techniques are integrated and applied to the same data set (collected through in-depth interview technique) to generate multidimensional view of entrepreneurial learning of creative women entrepreneurs. Findings from both are integrated to offer an understanding to this complex phenomenon in a dynamic context. Grounded theory allowed an inductive analysis of the data which facilitates to see not only the patterns within data but also provides insight in to how these patterns are associated with each other while narrative analysis append chronological dimension to the data which allowed us to see how the learning evolve over time and the respective role of each time period in the learning process. It is concluded that grounded theory analysis when integrated with narrative analysis generates a rigours and multidimensional understanding of entrepreneurial learning and gender in the dynamic context of creative industry.Key words: Entrepreneurship, Learning Process, Grounded Theory and Narrative Techniques
