Abstract
This paper questions, how we, from a phenomenological point of view, can describe and understand the phenomenology of innovative questions and processes of questioning when based in a wonderdriven approach to innovation and entrepreneurship.
Approach:
In our research we take on a phenomenological, philosophic-hermeneutic and wonder-driven approach to innovation and entrepreneurship.
Results:
The innovative questions arising in a wonder-driven approach to innovation and entrepreneurship are mainly characterized by two conditions. First the questions seem to be from the heart of the existence of the questioner. Second the questions seem to arise from within the profession, being in resonance with some kind of meaningfulness.
Implications:
A wonder-driven approach to innovation and entrepreneurship seems in some way and degree to grasp the meaning of our professions and the deeper meaning of our existence through what we, inspired by Hansens earlier work, have named a ‘meaning-receiving paradigm’. Such approach seems to make sense in non-business educations; especially professions working with human
beings, as innovation and entrepreneurship in these kind of educations is not always about inventing new products but also to get in a resonance with some kind of meaningfulness.
Value/ originality:
The study has originality because of the phenomenological research-approach to innovation and entrepreneurship and because of the philosophic-hermeneutic and wonder-driven approach to innovation and entrepreneurship teaching.
