Despite the extensive and diverse field of research on innovation and entrepreneurship, the role of culture often receives inadequate attention or is overshadowed. This book takes a fresh perspective by incorporating the cultural turn that has permeated the social sciences and humanities over the past few decades. Culture, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship offers cutting-edge theoretical and empirical insights into how culture shapes innovation and entrepreneurship. It presents novel contributions that deepen our understanding of various critical theoretical issues, including symbolic management, framing, legitimacy, optimal distinctiveness, institutional logics, and the dynamics of cultural entrepreneurship within and across organizations.

Furthermore, this book explores a wide range of topics, such as the design of craft goods, the establishment of the Guggenheim museum, entrepreneurial ecosystems, open innovation, crowdfunding, the mafia, and grand challenges. The chapters in this volume will appeal to a diverse group of scholars, spanning from those interested in entrepreneurship and innovation to cultural studies, contemporary social theory, organization studies, and management.

These chapters were originally published as a special issue of the journal Innovation: Organization and Management.
