Mobilising an enterprise surge in specific places has become the
leitmotif of contemporary spatial interventions and state-sponsored
strategies. Global economic shocks, rising demands for welfare
services and public sector austerity measures are signifiers of the
complex processes that have heightened public policy imperatives
associated with 'enabling enterprise'. Consequently, the search for
entrepreneurial synergies has intensified the need for devising
mechanisms for delivering broader social, cultural, environmental,
economic and political objectives. However, developing
collaborative leadership necessary to mobilise diverse networks of
actors that can implement strategies sensitive to the plurality of
place is not a straightforward task: negotiating the generation of
entrepreneurial synergies in places calls for alternative
conceptual tools, and complementary policies. Using theoretical
explanations and empirical analysis, the chapters critically
examine the entrepreneurial turn of public policy and urban
studies.
