This PDW interrogates how entrepreneurial discourse legitimizes state power, embedding entrepreneurial logics within political systems and fostering societal acceptance of social inequality. Through four discussion elements, the workshop encourages participants to examine how entrepreneurial norms reframe governance, policymaking, and societal expectations. By extending theoretical and empirical investigations into the entanglements between entrepreneurship, ideology, and political power, the PDW aims to generate new research directions and methodological innovations, enriching our understanding of the role of entrepreneurialism in shaping structures.
