Short bio and list of publications
Daniel Hjorth is a researcher at ESBRI – Stockholm and Malmö University, Malmö, Sweden. He did
his doctoral studies at Lund University. Later the doctoral dissertation was moved to Växjö
University where it was presented in October 5th 2001. The research interest is focused on the
areas of entrepreneurship and organisational theory. Problems concerning entrepreneurial
processes in various organisational contexts is also driving a concern for inter-disciplinary studies.
The writing is thus characterised by a problematisation of traditional scientific formats for writing;
by an interest in philosophy; and by an interest in play and playfulness in performing research
with a concern for reaching society. Since 1994 Daniel has lectured within the areas of
entrepreneurship and supervised bachelor- and master theses within these areas. Also
organisation theory and leadership theories as well as qualitative methodology are areas where
Daniel lectures. Daniel also works together with some artists and designers in creating exhibitions
around certain themes. Presently, the writing concerns: issues of writing; entrepreneurship as
social/organisational creativity; entrepreneurship and the problems of managerialism;
entrepreneurship and aesthetics, and entrepreneurship and learning. Daniel has been a special
issue editor (International Journal of Internet and Enterprise Management) on Organising
Knowledge, track organiser at EURAM, and is currently editing the Edward Elgar Publ. mini series
(four books) named Movements in Entrepreneurship (together with Chris Steyaert).
