'What a great book! Two eminent researchers on women's
entrepreneurship, Patti Greene and Candy Brush, have assembled a
wonderful group of well-known and upcoming scholars, each of them
adding novel insights to the puzzle of ''female entrepreneurial
identity''. The book covers a wide array of interesting
identity-related themes and presents evidence from countries and
contexts which are much less studied. This is a must-read for those
of us who want to understand and study entrepreneurial identity
from a gender perspective, and also for those supporting women
entrepreneurs.' - Friederike Welter, Institut fur
Mittelstandsforschung (IfM) Bonn and University of Siegen, Germany

entrepreneurial identity and the connections to related concepts of
confidence, behaviors and aspirations. The wealth of contributions
in this highly recommended volume, successfully illuminate
important aspects and signposts questions to continue this vital
discourse.' - Anne de Bruin, Massey University, New Zealand Elgar

This book is about innovation ecosystems, Clusters of Innovation
(COI) and the Global Networks of Clusters of Innovation (GNCOI)
they naturally form. What is innovation and why is it important to
us? Innovation is nothing less than the ability for constructive
response and adaptation to change. The cause and catalyst for that
change is frequently identified as technology and its unceasing
pressure to improve on existing solutions and address unmet needs.
The last decade has painfully demonstrated that exogenous
environmental shocks are also sources of change that call for
innovative responses, ranging from the obvious challenges such as
global warming and Covid-19 to the more subtle social and political
perturbations of our time. Entrepreneurs, in collaboration with
venture investors and major corporations can create a flywheel of
constructive engagement, a cluster of Innovation, that helps build
the resiliency of our communities to adsorb and rebound from these
shocks. The process is enhanced when actively supported by
government, universities, and other elements of the ecosystem. This
book provides the tools for understanding this value creation
process and the means to enhance it, in both emerging and mature
innovation ecosystems. This book provides a framework for
understanding innovation in mature and emerging innovation
ecosystems to a wide swath of professionals and academics, from
senior executives of major corporations, government leaders, public
policy makers, and consultants, to academics, researchers, and
educators.
The construction of a sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystem is
critical for every country in the world, with Silicon Valley an
example of a successful entrepreneurial ecosystem that determines
the level of national innovation capability and sustainable global
competitiveness for the United States. However, at present, the
research on entrepreneurial ecosystems in academia is still in its
primary stage with few scholars studying the characteristics,
composition, and sustainability of the ecosystem. Sustainability in
the Entrepreneurial Ecosystem: Operating Mechanisms and Enterprise
Growth is a collection of innovative research that systematically
explores the operation mechanism of sustainable entrepreneurship
ecosystem from macro and micro aspects so as to provide value for
promoting economic vitality and regional economic development.
Covering a broad range of topics including sustainability, economic
development, and stakeholder management, this book is ideally
designed for entrepreneurs, managers, investors, analysts,
academicians, researchers, and students.
