This insightful Handbook focuses on behavior, performance and
relationships in small and entrepreneurial firms. It introduces a
variety of contemporary topics, research methods and theoretical
frameworks that will provide cutting edge analysis, stimulate
thought, raise further questions and demonstrate the complexity of
the rapidly-advancing field of entrepreneurship.With an extensive
introduction, logical sequencing and a collection of interesting
and original contributions from across the globe, the Handbook
commences with two thought-provoking chapters, which raise issues
of theoretical framing and highlight the importance of paradigm
choice, methodology and method. After considering different
disciplinary approaches to entrepreneurship and small business,
various issues are raised about entrepreneurship education and
learning and the application of entrepreneurship to various sectors
and sectional interests. For example, what conceptual framework is
available for entrepreneurs and small businesses? How does
innovation relate to entrepreneurship and small business behavior?
And what evidence is there of the links between better performing
firms and effective learning? These issues are debated before the
authors consider the future application of entrepreneurship
research to different sectors. Both scholars new to the area, as
well as established academics looking to extend their research
scope to encompass the field of entrepreneurship and small business
will find this work to be an invaluable and timely resource.
