Entrepreneurship, People and Organisations : Frontiers in European Entrepreneurship Research

This book, written by leading scholars, provides stimulating coverage of topical issues in the field of small business and entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship has already been shown to be a significant source of innovation and economic development but the variations in the contribution at the individual, organisational, regional and national levels remain relatively unexplored. The types of contributions - behavioural, economic and social - are also relatively new areas for empirical scrutiny and theoretical development. This anthology provides in-depth analyses of entrepreneurship across Europe and demonstrates the importance of context - the geographical, political and socio-economic milieu within which entrepreneurship takes place.
