“…Peterson and Schenker (2018) stated that entrepreneurship is situated in the context of society and, consequently, it is social, whereas from a normative point of view, the nature of entrepreneurship is not always social. Similarly, Bjärsholm et al (2018) highlighted that the pursuit of the social good must be governed by a normative perspective – based on ideology and ethics – considering that it may vary between different sectors of society.…”

“…For Bjärsholm (2017), the scope of research on sport and social entrepreneurship is limited, and sport plays a minor role in the articles. Currently, this issue is being granted greater relevance, although more development and description of sport are necessary (Bjärsholm et al , 2018; Bjärsholm, 2019; Capella et al , 2016; González-Serrano et al , 2020b; Miragaia et al ., 2015, 2017, 2019; Pérez et al , 2018; Peterson and Schenker, 2018; Sánchez-Oliver et al , 2017). According to Cohen and Peachey (2015), three specific antecedents influence the social inclinations of entrepreneurs for social entrepreneurship – sport, life and traumatic experiences – an aspect corroborated by González-Serrano et al (2020b), who indicates that sports entrepreneurs are proliferating in recent years, that put the quality of life and corporate social responsibility before economic benefits.…”

PurposeThe main aim of this study was to analyze and establish the state of the question about entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship in sport, identify the role of innovation in both of them, as well as to determine the latest study trends and detect possible research niches.Design/methodology/approachA systematic review of the Web of Science, Scopus, PsycINFO, ERIC, SPORTDiscus and Dialnet databases was performed. The analysis of the selected texts allowed categorizing the entrepreneurship articles into subthemes: precursors of entrepreneurship, intention/orientation of entrepreneurship, different perspectives of entrepreneurship in sport and social entrepreneurship in sport. Of the 49 texts included in the review, only seven articles dealt with intrapreneurship, and they could not be classified into subtopics because the studies are scarce, diverse and with disparate themes.FindingsThe main findings show deficiencies in research on precursors/antecedents of entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial behavior, especially in relation to innovation, the importance of the political perspective on entrepreneurship in sport and formulation of behavior training programs for intrapreneurs.Originality/valueThis paper provides valuable and global information about entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship in sport, of which there were scattered or grouped data in some reviews.

“…Furthermore, the hybridity of the workforce provides another point of contention with many organisations relying on the good will of volunteers as a strategy to cut costs and maximising profits to reinvest in the organisation (Spear et al, 2018). Thus, relying on a volunteer workforce to conduct evaluation is not only unprofessional, but also arguably, an ethical issue if volunteers are not trained to deliver such practice (Bjarsholm et al, 2018). Irrespective, it cannot be ignored that becoming a specific model of social enterprise may indeed be a strategy of necessity, rather than an outcome of desire moving forward.…”

The increasing number of autonomous third-sector organisations that emerged during a period of austerity (2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016)(2017)(2018) presented a compensatory lifeline for community sport prior to the Covid-19 pandemic (Rossi and Jeanes, 2018). However, there are now increasing concerns that many third sector organisations may struggle to recover from the impact of the pandemic (Grix, 2021). The depletion of public resources has continued to create greater competition for funding within community sport. As a result of this changing financial climate, there has been a requirement for flexible, adaptable and autonomous organisational models that must diversify their income as a necessary strategy for survival. This chapter intends to conceptualise and analyse the role of the social enterprise within this narrative and explain how and why specific organisational typologies may have an impact on shaping evidence and approaches to evaluation within sport and leisure in the future. To do this I examine the emergence of the social enterprise through the lens of community sport in England. First, models of social enterprise in community sport in England are introduced and explored.Second, the chapter examines the value each model might place on evaluation based on key characteristics such as governance and funding related to specific models. Finally, the chapter concludes by presenting critical questions regarding the value and purpose of evaluation within the broader socio-political context.

“…Interviews (conduct, analysis, reporting) were performed by established ethical guidelines in social sciences i.e. acceptance of subjects" right anonymity, confidentiality, and informed consent (Bjarsholm, et al 2018;Bryman, 2012). The consent of participants was taken by sharing the research questions well before the interview.…”

There is a dramatic increase in the number of women students in higher educational institutions but this had not been matched by growth in the number of women in senior leadership positions in Pakistani Universities. The current study was designed to explore the barriers and enablers that influence the professional development of women academics in Pakistan. Furthermore, the study investigated how female academicians manage the balance in their personal and professional life. Semi-structured interviews followed by a probing strategy were conducted to seek responses to these questions. 10 female academicians were selected purposively from two public sector universities of Lahore. Thematic analysis was conducted by using an inductive approach. Member check was applied for the reliability of themes drawn from the data. Each theme was explored in-depth and themes emerged from a smaller number of women were treated separately under the category of unique theme. Women considered their professional career development as a source of pride and gratification. Women academicians at the senior level enjoyed leadership roles as compared to young academicians; who were more involved in teaching and research. Females complained that they had not the information on policies relevant to their job and merit is neglected most of the time by higher authorities. Females claimed that they faced a biased attitude of their senior male colleagues/heads of departments but were highly motivated to face these challenges at the workplace.
