  • Investigating Uk Women's Digital Entrepreneurship
    UNMASKING THE INTERNET: INVESTIGATING UK WOMEN’S DIGITAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP THROUGH INTERSECTIONALITY ANGELA CARMINA MARTINEZ DY, B.A., MSc. (Dist) Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2015 © 2015 Angela C. Martinez Dy All rights reserved. 2 Abstract Unmasking the Internet: Investigating UK Women’s Digital Entrepreneurship through Intersectionality This thesis investigates the experiences of women digital entrepreneurs in the United Kingdom from an intersectional cyberfeminist perspective. Informed by feminist theories of technology and critical entrepreneurship scholarship, it challenges mainstream discourse on digital entrepreneurship with the argument that, similar to traditional (offline) entrepreneurship, online or digital entrepreneurship is deeply embedded in the social world. It draws upon intersectional feminist theory that conceptualises the social world as composed of intersecting hierarchies of race, class, and gender, in which individuals and groups are positioned in dynamic yet durable ways, and by which they are affected simultaneously. This positionality is understood to be tied to unequal resource distribution, and for this reason, holds important implications when mapped to extant entrepreneurship theory. The thesis also provides interdisciplinary evidence for the continued coding of Internet technology as predominantly white and male, and for the online environment itself as a stratified and unequal space, countering public discourse that portrays it as a neutral and meritocratic ‘great equaliser.’ Building upon this theoretical framework, the thesis proposes, investigates and answers the following research question: ‘How do social positionality and resource access affect UK women’s experiences of digital entrepreneurship’? Underpinned by a critical realist methodology and using thematic, retroductive and comparative case study analytical methods, a qualitative study of twenty-six women digital entrepreneurs was undertaken.

    Lee Marsden. Supervisors: Matthias Benzer, Lorna Warren Economic Martyrs and Moralised Others: Mass Media Constructions of Social Class in the ‘Age of Austerity’ Lee Marsden A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Department of Sociological Studies Date: 20 September 2020 1 Lee Marsden. Supervisors: Matthias Benzer, Lorna Warren Declaration I, the author, confirm that the Thesis is my own work. I am aware of the University’s Guidance on the Use of Unfair Means (www.sheffield.ac.uk/ssid/unfair-means). This work has not previously been presented for an award at this, or any other, university. 2 Lee Marsden. Supervisors: Matthias Benzer, Lorna Warren “If public attitudes are informed by inaccurate, ideological and stigmatising representations of the poor, then policies preferred by the public (and political elites) are unlikely to seek to tackle the structural causes of inequality [...] In essence, this works to ensure that the working / underclass are positioned in a top-down society created for them, and they are expected to involve themselves in that society under those prearranged social constructs” (Power, 2011 p3). “For a long time the quarry was full of snowdrifts and nothing could be done. Some progress was made in the dry frosty weather that followed, but it was cruel work, and the animals could not feel so hopeful about it as they had felt before. They were always cold, and usually hungry as well. Only Boxer and Clover never lost heart. Squealer made excellent speeches on the joy of service and the dignity of labour, but the other animals found more inspiration in Boxer's strength and his never-failing cry of "I will work harder!” (George Orwell: Animal farm, 1945 p80) 3 Lee Marsden.

  • Online Case 14.1 Amstrad
    OnLine Case 14.1 Amstrad The story of Amstrad is really the story of Sir Alan Sugar who in recent years has become a business celebrity through his involvement with the BBC TV series ‘The Apprentice’. His story is that of an entrepreneur who has been very successful but who, with the wonderful benefit of hindsight, has maybe not always made the ‘best’ decisions’. The question arises: where things haven’t worked out quite as they should, was it the strategy or the implementation that should be discussed. Amstrad, the UK-based producer of personal computers and other electrical and electronic products, was run from 1968 until 2008 by its founder, entrepreneurial businessman Sir Alan Sugar, who, until he stepped down in 2001, was also the chairman and leading shareholder of Tottenham Hotspur football club for some ten years. Sugar has since commented that his involvement in football in the 1990s caused him to ‘take his eye off the ball at Amstrad’ at a critical time in its development. Amstrad was floated in 1980 but, when Sugar tried to buy it back in 1992 – offering investors a lower price per share than they had paid originally – he was frustrated by the company’s institutional shareholders. Corporate and competitive strategies have changed creatively over the years, but Amstrad has experienced a number of implementation difficulties. Amstrad’s real success began when Sugar identified new electronics products with mass market potential, and designed cheaper models than his main rivals were producing. Manufacturing was to be by low-cost suppliers, mainly in the Far East, supported by aggressive marketing in the West.

  • Case with Questions J Duncan Bannatyne, Dragon
    j Case with questions Duncan Bannatyne, Dragon Duncan Bannatyne is probably the best known entrepreneur in the UK because of his appearances on the BBC TV series Dragons’ Den rather than his achievements as a se- rial entrepreneur. His life has, however, been a colourful one. He was born in 1949 into a relatively poor family in the town of Clydebank, Scotland. The second of seven children, his father was a foundry-man at the local ship yard. When told that the family could not afford to buy him a bicycle Duncan tried to get a job delivering newspapers for the local newsagents, only to be set the challenge of fi nding 100 people who wanted a newspaper to be delivered. By knocking on doors he collected the names, got his newspaper round and eventually was able to buy his bicycle. Duncan left school at 15 to serve in the Royal Navy. He served for fi ve years before receiv- ing a dishonourable discharge – after 9 months detention – for threatening to throw an offi cer off a jetty. He spent his twenties moving from job to job around the UK, including taxi driving and selling ice creams, ending up in Stockton-on-Tees. It was here, in his early 30s, that Duncan’s entrepreneurial career started when, using his personal savings, he bought an ice cream van for £450. He built this business into a fl eet of vans selling ‘Duncan’s Super Ices’. Even here he showed entrepreneurial fl air. He was innovative – he started using a scoop that speeded up serving and made a shape like a smile in the ice cream, which the children loved.
