Entrepreneurship is essential for international social and
economic well-being, as new ventures are the dominant source of job
creation, market innovation, and economic growth in many societies.
In this book, a noted group of researchers use findings, methods,
and theories of modern psychology as the basis for gaining
important, new insights into entrepreneurship-and into the hearts
and minds of the talented, passionate professionals who create new
business ventures.
The Psychology of Entrepreneurship, a volume in the SIOP
Organizational Frontiers Series, is the first book written about
the psychology of entrepreneurship, and includes over 60 research
questions to guide industrial organizational psychology,
organizational behavior, and entrepreneurship research about
entrepreneurs. It seeks to answer questions such as, how and why do
some people, but not others, recognize opportunities, decide to
start new ventures, and organize successful, rapidly growing new
ventures?
Some topics addressed include:
- methods to help researchers explore the domain of
entrepreneurship research;
- the entire process of starting a new business;
- characteristics of the individual entrepreneur;
- the history of entrepreneurship education;
- the cross-cultural effects of entrepreneurship; and
- the viewpoints of seasoned psychologists who analyze current
entrepreneurship research methods.
This book will appeal to teachers, students, and researchers in
the areas of industrial organizational psychology, organizational
behavior, entrepreneurship, and management.
