Entrepreneurship is a discipline that can be taught across the
disciplines. Angela Beeching's chapter demonstrates how the
essential business concepts of entrepreneurship can be made
relevant to music students. By using short case studies featuring
musical entrepreneurs, Beeching's excellent chapter provides a
context for teaching entrepreneurship that reflects musicians'
values and priorities. As one might expect from Beeching, a
luminary in the music entrepreneurship world, her chapter also
includes insights for educators and practitioners from all
disciplines inspired by our musical golden age of
entrepreneurship.' - Catherine Fitterman Radbill, author of
Introduction to the Music Industry: An Entrepreneurial
Approach'Satish Nambisan has assembled a great team of authors who
have produced a fascinating collection of chapters. The book does
an excellent job of bringing together for the first time
developments in entrepreneurship across disparate disciplines that
have important research, policy and practical implications.
Entrepreneurship can learn from other disciplines but fundamentally
this is a two-way process as other disciplines can learn from
entrepreneurship. This approach provides a much needed emphasis on
the increasing richness of adopting a cross-disciplinary approach
in understanding the scope of entrepreneurship.' - Mike Wright,
Centre for Management Buyout Research, Imperial College Business
School, UK and University of Ghent, Belgium 'Entrepreneurship is
crossing borders with great impact. After decades of being confined
to business schools, entrepreneurship scholarship and teaching are
being diffused throughout the university: in engineering, natural
and biological sciences, social sciences, art, music, medicine and
other schools and departments. This is one of the very first books
that captures this important trend, identifying areas for research,
teaching and outreach activities. Every chapter is written by an
area expert, offering rich insights into the growing power of
entrepreneurship as a discipline and a way of thinking and doing.
As such, the book is a major reference to any entrepreneurship
scholar. The editor, Satish Nambisan, did a masterful job in
selecting authors and themes covered in the book. His achievement
is simply remarkable.' - Shaker A. Zahra, Carlson School of
Management, University of Minnesota, US Unique ideas, insights and
themes from diverse disciplines-from engineering, science and
medicine to arts, design, and music-have the potential to enrich
and deepen our understanding of entrepreneurship. This book brings
together contributions from an eclectic set of entrepreneurship
scholars and educators from different fields to advance
cross-disciplinary entrepreneurial thinking. Embracing
Entrepreneurship Across Disciplines draws on case studies and
examples to provide a rich illustration of key themes and concepts,
providing an opportunity to share lessons and best practices. It
describes innovative programs and practices that could serve as
templates for entrepreneurship educators and informs the
development and evaluation of policies, programs and educational
materials that cross or impact multiple fields. The creative,
accessible ideas and insights offered in this book will appeal to a
broad audience interested in entrepreneurship-from scholars and
educators to practitioners and policy makers. Contributors: R.J.
