The early Joseph Alois Schumpeter gave the world an extraordinary theory of economic growth in his book Theorie der wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung, published in Leipzig in 1912. This biography and scientific analysis is a tour in the footsteps of the early Joseph A. Schumpeter, which paints a picture of the fascinating character of an individual who stands amongst the great masters of the economic science in the 20th century. Schumpeter declared that the most important period in a human’s life is the third decade, and his own life is in accordance with this idea. More than 100 years after his birth, his name is celebrated with distinguished words as world-renowned economist, minister, social philosopher and humanist. We follow his life and work from birth to maturity and emigration to America, through happiness, love, sorrows and tragedy, to countries where he lived and worked like the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, Germany, USA, and Japan.

Sentralt dirigert sosial omsorg når ikke alltid frem til alle og passer heller ikke alle individer og grupper av befolkningen. Ulike tider krever ulike løsninger for produksjon, finansiering og distribusjon av sosial omsorg og man kan ikke forvente at bare en type løsning er gangbar. Både behovet og mulighetene for private initiativtakere i den sosiale sektor varierer over tid. Apparatet fra industrisamfunnet endres og brytes ned. Overgangen til tjenestesamfunnet krever sin løsning.
Sosialt entreprenørskap handler om å bryte fastlagte vaner og mønstre av tradisjonell karakter og gjennom innovative handlinger finne unike løsninger på komplekse problemer i den hensikt at endring skal bidra til å gjøre tilværelsen bedre. Sosialt entreprenørskap kompletterer og fornyer velferdsstaten. Endringsagentene er drivkraften i transformasjonen.
Sosialt entreprenørskap er antatt å være den hurtigst voksende næringssektor i USA i vårt århundre. Samtidig er sosialt entreprenørskap svært lite omtalt i skandinavisk sammenheng.
Denne bok presenterer teori og prinsipper om sosialt entreprenørskap. Det vises til en rekke ledende sosiale entreprenører og deres praktiske håndtering av relevante problemstillinger i det sosiale entreprenørskap.
Boken er en viktig kilde til informasjon for den som er engasjert i problemstillinger knyttet til finansiering, produksjon og fordeling av sosial omsorg, translasjon og etablering av nye næringsvirksomheter i den sosiale sektor.

Bokomtale

Studiet av entreprenøren er ikke et studium om en «helt på sin hvite hest», som er en ikke uvanlig kritikk av vellykkete næringsdrivende, men snarere en analyse av helt vanlige menneskers tanker, drømmer og liv. Entreprenørene er vanskelige å finne for de er sjeldent forekommende i befolkningen. De er viktige fordi de utfører innovasjoner, som innebærer at man blir i stand til å gjøre noe man tidligere ikke kunne, og på den måten er de pådrivere i den teknologiske og økonomiske utvikling. Målet for denne doktoravhandling er å jakte på entreprenører, dvs. å lete seg frem til norske næringsdrivende i vår samtid som hevder at de er nyskapende og foreta en kvalitativ undersøkelse og analyse av deres kvaliteter, handlinger og produksjons- og konsumsjonsfunksjoner på bakgrunn av de tidløse kriterier i Joseph A. Schumpeters teori og øvrig relevant økonomisk teori i et historisk perspektiv for å identifisere og differensiere ulike profiler av nyskapende næringsdrivende. Næringsdrivende i tre ulike bransjer er omfattet av den kvalitative undersøkelsen. Analysen har, på bakgrunn av informasjonen fra informantene kartlagt hva som skjer i næringslivet i vår samtid blant nyskapende norske næringsdrivende, og ved anvendt teori vist at det er mulig å identifisere og differensiere blant ulike former for entreprenørskap.
De mest fremtredende kjennetegn ved nyskapende næringsvirksomhet er at den næringsdrivende
1) motiveres av å tjene en (entreprenør-) profitt,
2) ikke motiveres av lønn,
3) utfører nye kombinasjoner i produksjonsfunksjonen,
4) åpner nye markeder,
5) introduserer nye produkter,
6) utfører sin aktivitet som en individuell handling og
7) utfører aldri sin handling som et ledd i en gruppeaktivitet.

Denne doktoravhandling, som er en analyse av entreprenøren på mikroøkonomisk nivå, kompletterer forståelsen av entreprenøren som en sosial endringsagent i analysen av den økonomiske utvikling på makroøkonomisk nivå, og viser at entreprenørskap ikke oppstår som resultat av sykliske svingninger i en økonomi kjennetegnet av konjunkturer. Det er tvert imot entreprenørens innovative handlinger på mikronivå, sprunget ut av det enkelte individs egne forutsetninger og skaperkraft, som resultatet av en indre prosess, som foranlediger, under spesielle situasjoner, en stor sverm av etterfølgere som i sin tur kan påvirke de sykliske konjunktursvingninger og lede den økonomiske utvikling gjennom den stadig omskiftende og fornyende prosess som er kapitalismens «innerste vesen» og som både kjennetegnes av og benevnes «creative destruction».

Boken presenterer ny teori om sosialt entreprenørskap. Sosialentreprenørene, de som endrer verden, kan deles inn i fem kategorier etter den individuelle betydning hver enkelte har som endringsagent. De systematiseres i form av en pyramide: Sosialentreprenør-pyramiden. Analysen av eksisterende sosialt entreprenørskap i Skandinavia understreker betydningen av individenes direkte deltakelse i beslutningprosessen, noe som gir større rettferdighet og minsket avhengiget.


THE SOCIAL ENTREPRENEUR PYRAMID With a Nordic Perspective on Social Entrepreneurship Jan-U. Sandal ISBN 978-91-633-6459-4

PRAISE FOR Dr. Jan-U. Sandal`s The Social Entrepreneur Pyramid:

 “Dr. Sandal’s analysis of existing social entrepreneurship in Scandinavia emphasizes it is not a movement confined to exploiting sporadic, temporary and extremely popular goods and services as a link in the chain of the welfare state’s expanded social system. Instead, social entrepreneurship is a phenomenon representing as far as is possible a renewal and revitalisation of the democratic system itself. This condition is admirably displayed in both educational and analytical terms in Dr. Sandal’s book. I have no doubt THE SOCIAL ENTREPRENEUR PYRAMID: With a Nordic Perspective on Social Entrepreneurship will be recognized as a major contribution helping people the world over understand the democratic potential of social entrepreneurship. I am very happy Dr. Sandal has written this compelling and important work.”

Museum is a rather old form of preserving and displaying items of values and stretches far back in human history. The reasons for collecting, preserving and displaying items are many.

This book is about museum science and Sandal Private Museum. Museum science is rooted in the analysis of the life and work of the entrepreneur and the independent scientist, where the creation of artifacts based on the production function is a major area of scientific activities and interest.
Governments cannot do the same as individuals in the process of innovation, entrepreneurship or independent science. Entrepreneurs, single individuals who make judgmental decisions, create innovations.

That is one reason behind museum science and the need for creation of private museums.
Entrepreneurs are the creators of civilization. The study of their life and work is of the utmost interest for a deeper understanding of the process of innovation.

What literature in English on inno¬vation, entrepreneur, and social entre-preneurship is available in the world libraries, and is there interest in acquiring more? The book presents analysis and results after visiting 103 libraries in 43 countries on four continents.

During my studies at the Yuriy Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University, I actively participated in the activities of student government and joined the activities of various student and scientific public organizations. Even then, I was able to grasp the enormous potential of these organizations and also realized how insufficient the financial resources they possessed were.

So, not surprisingly, after graduating from the University, I became interested in the functioning of civil society and its institutions. Scientific interest turned into a significant scientific product and in 2016 at a meeting of the specialized academic council at the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv an open defense of the candidate's dissertation took place.

The scientific degree allowed me to conduct more in-depth scientific research, as well as to participate in serious scientific events and activities: international conferences, summits, internships, etc. Therefore, in May 2018, I was lucky enough to become one of the four participants who passed the competitive selection and had the opportunity to visit Fil. Dr. Jan-U. Institute to carry out research under the guidance of renowned scientist Fil. Dr., Professor Jan-Urban Sandal.
