As the breadth and empirical diversity of entrepreneurship research
have increased rapidly during the last decade, the quest to find a
"one-size-fits-all" general theory of entrepreneurship has given
way to a growing appreciation for the importance of contexts. This
promises to improve both the practical relevance and the
theoretical rigor of research in this field. Entrepreneurship means
different things to different people at different times and in
different places and both its causes and its consequences likewise
vary. For example, for some people entrepreneurship can be a
glorious path to emancipation, while for others it can represent
the yoke tethering them to the burdens of overwork and drudgery.
For some communities it can drive renaissance and vibrancy while
for others it allows only bare survival. In this book, we assess
and attempt to push forward contemporary conceptualizations of
contexts that matter for entrepreneurship, pointing in particular
to opportunities generating new insights by attending to contexts
in novel or underexplored ways. This book shows that the ongoing
contextualization of entrepreneurship research should not simply
generate a proliferation of unique theories - one for every context
- but can instead result in better theory construction, testing and
understanding of boundary conditions, thereby leading us to richer
and more profound understanding of entrepreneurship across its many
forms. Contextualizing Entrepreneurship Theory will critically
review the current debate and existing literature on contexts and
entrepreneurship and use this to synthesize new theoretical and
methodological frameworks that point to important directions for
future research.
