Most leadership research has been undertaken in corporate contexts
and little attention has been given to leadership development in
entrepreneurial and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This
book argues that the study of entrepreneurs as leaders is a gap in
both the leadership and the entrepreneurship literatures. The
impact of leaders is a crucial factor in the success or failure of
smaller entrepreneurial firms and has implications for our
understanding of new venture viability and growth. Featuring
conceptual and empirical chapters from a wide range of cultures and
entrepreneurship and leadership ecosystems, this Research Handbook
is the first of its kind to present a systematic overview of the
entrepreneurial leadership field, providing a state-of-the-art
perspective and highlighting unanswered questions and opportunities
for further research. It consolidates existing theory development,
stimulates new conceptual thinking and includes path-breaking
empirical explorations. With its international perspective
illustrating the practice of entrepreneurial leadership in a wide
range of organizational contexts, the Research Handbook on
Entrepreneurship and Leadership offers an essential reference to
students and researchers in entrepreneurship and leadership alike.
