'Entrepreneurial identities permeate virtually every facet of the
venturing process, but the study of these identities has received
surprisingly little attention among scholars. Thomas Duening and
Matthew Metzger address this problem with this insightful and
timely edited volume. They have compiled an impressive array of
research that covers both macro- and micro-level explorations of
entrepreneurial identities. Most importantly, these chapters
provide numerous examples of tangible advice to interested
educators about how to foster the entrepreneurial spirit and build
the entrepreneurial identity within their own students. This book
is a must-read for anyone interested in entrepreneurial
identities.' - Charles Murnieks, Oregon State University, US
Entrepreneurship is an academic discipline that, despite decades of
growth in research and teaching activity lacks a traditionally
distinct or common pedagogy. In this book, editors Thomas N.
Duening and Matthew L. Metzger explore entrepreneurial identity as
a new basis upon which curricula can be constructed for aspiring
entrepreneurs. Critically, this perspective is based on the insight
that there is a fundamental difference between venture development
and entrepreneur development. Unfortunately, most current
interventions for aspiring entrepreneurs focus on the former at the
expense of the latter. The editors have collected work from an
international team of authors with diverse views on how identity
theory applies to entrepreneur development. Chapters focus
primarily on macro-level identity issues (that is, how do these
entrepreneurial archetypes form, persist, and sometimes change) or
micro-level identity issues (that is, how can educators and
resource providers identify, communicate, and incentivize identity
construction among aspiring entrepreneurs). This book provides a
general theoretical background and offers numerous suggestions for
application and further research. One example of this is the 'For
Further Reading' feature at the end of each chapter which is
perfect for assisting those who want to delve deeper into various
topics. This essential resource will be of interest to researchers,
resource providers and students alike. Contributors include: D.
