I have spent the weekend in Montreal at the annual Academy of Management meetings. This group draws a large crowd of academics, some of whom have an interest in entrepreneurship.
There are a few papers from there that offer some interesting insights.

Professor Ahlstrom directly argues that the role of business is to be entrepreneurial and create new jobs through innovation. In response Professor Delios argues for a broader role for business in society.
