Overall content Detailed description of content The course is related to the subject areas of the semester. In the seminar, students study relevant analytical works in depth and subsequently provide in-depth reflections on the theoretical dimensions of Social Entrepreneurship and Management that build upon the student s primary observations or secondary analysis of relevant empirical studies. The students write a report which analyses the case studies with academic maturity, and during the seminar the students present, critically comment on and discuss an academically challenging issue. The seminar is based in students' in depth reading, during the seminar, of Karl Weick's modern classic in organisational studies, Sensemaking in organisations (Weick 2005), and the innovative use of his widely recognised (but also provocative and challenging) approach to theorise and understand management processes in social innovation and social entrepreneurship, i.e. as a sensemaking process. The students produce a paper which analyse one or several with academic maturity. During the seminar the students must present, critically comment on, and discuss the sense making perspective.
