Aims of the team
The team pursues two aims which are not necessarily related, but which clearly demonstrate its research directions.
The first concerns its disciplinary scope: to provide knowledge in the field of entrepreneurship.
The second aim stems from an ethical desire to produce useful knowledge. In other words, the promotion of the research carried out is in keeping with the values of research team members (http://www.grp-lab.com/team-2/) and their vision of the profession of lecturer-researcher.
The Social Innovation Connector of the University of Bordeaux IDEX GRP Lab (GRP-lab.com) testifies to this as it translates, in practical and educational terms, a fundamental theorization of the notion of the Business Model (Business Model GRP), as well as works conducted in this area.
To this end, the team is also focused on entrepreneurship theories, with a view to bringing worlds which are often remote closer together: research, education and practice, particularly in the field of entrepreneurship, an area in which certain members have more than 20 years’ experience.
Research themes
The team takes a keen interest in all research themes related to entrepreneurship. However, seven research areas are the subject of specific attention:
- Business models,
- Education of entrepreneurship,
- Support for entrepreneurship,
- Entrepreneurship and culture (film, gastronomy, cultural entrepreneurship, etc.),
- Social entrepreneurship,
- Entrepreneurship theory,
- Research-action in the field of entrepreneurship.
Research projects and contracts
The team holds an Entrepreneurship Chair, created in 2011 and hosted since 2014 by the Bordeaux University Foundation
