1. Phase WiSe 26/27 - Farny: Social Entrepreneurship (Belegung)
Dozent/in: Steffen Farny
Inhalt: Prof. Farny primarily supervises theses that employ qualitative research designs, with a strong focus on Grounded Theory, Case Study, and Ethnographic Approaches. His academic expertise lies in the fields of social and sustainable entrepreneurship, with a particular interest in topics such as: • New practices and processes in sustainable entrepreneurship • Alternative forms of organizing (e.g., community entrepreneurship) • Holistic and net-positive sustainability orientations, especially regeneration and regenerative entrepreneurship • Entrepreneurship and resilience in response to shocks and disruptions • Outcomes, outputs, and impacts of entrepreneurial practices (e.g. impact measurement) • The interrelationship between the natural environment and entrepreneurship (“organizing with nature”) Exemplary theses supervised by Prof. Farny have investigated themes such as regenerative business models in rural communities, ethnographic studies of community-driven enterprises, and case studies exploring entrepreneurial responses to environmental crises. Theoretical approaches often draw from institutional theory, practice theory, systems thinking, and socio-ecological perspectives. Methodological Approaches The theses under Prof. Farny’s supervision are typically qualitative in nature, emphasizing interpretive and exploratory methodologies. Common approaches include: • Grounded Theory for theory development based on empirical data • Case Study Research to explore complex, real-life entrepreneurial contexts • Ethnographic Designs to provide in-depth, contextual understanding of entrepreneurial practices In some cases, conceptual work and theoretical essays may also be supervised, particularly when aiming to develop or critically interrogate frameworks within the domain of sustainable entrepreneurship. Supervision Process Prospective thesis students are expected to initiate contact via a short email outlining: (a) the research phenomenon, (b) the research question (c) the intended research design. This is followed by a brief (virtual) meeting to discuss the feasibility and alignment of the topic. Students then prepare a 3–5 page exposé, which serves as the foundation for the research project. Subsequent supervision meetings are arranged on a needs-based schedule, ensuring tailored support throughout the thesis process.
