The contextual turn in the field of entrepreneurship means it is
crucial for scholars to integrate into their research the
multifaceted contexts in which entrepreneurship is embedded. This
insightful book explores the different spatial, social, digital,
institutional and policy contexts for entrepreneurship and
investigates their relevance for entrepreneurship theory and
practice. Featuring cutting-edge research, Contextual Embeddedness
of Entrepreneurship presents a wide range of theoretical approaches
undertaken to study entrepreneurial behaviour and processes,
analysing their relevance to policy and practice. Chapters examine
these approaches through the lens of specific issues and
circumstances related to digital, edtech, social, international and
peripheral entrepreneurship, exploring diverse perspectives and
illustrating how different contexts shape entrepreneurial activity
and its outcomes. The book ultimately demonstrates how changing
environmental conditions for entrepreneurship – including crises,
societal challenges and increasing digitalisation – can open up
new avenues for research into the embeddedness of entrepreneurship.
Illustrating the continuous evolution of studies in
entrepreneurship, this discerning book will stimulate the research
of students and scholars of business and management. Its up-to-date
empirical approaches and practical insights will also benefit
entrepreneurship researchers and practitioners.
Presenting cutting-edge research from Europe and beyond, The Role
of Ecosystems in Developing Startups examines the diverse triggers
of the entrepreneurial process and evaluates the richness of
different entrepreneurial ecosystems. Novel approaches and
methodologies in the field of startups, small business and
entrepreneurship are provided, together with the conceptualisation
of ecosystems in the managerial field. The book also demonstrates
the importance of context in terms of actors and networks, the
complete entrepreneurial journey as a set of complex processes and
the role of time and resources supporting new companies.
Furthermore, the use of social networks in both the early stages
and in strategy execution are investigated as key to the
entrepreneurial process and its ultimate success. The book's
up-to-date empirical approach and practical guidance will provide
an excellent resource to scholars and researchers in
entrepreneurship alongside other business and management topics,
practitioners and policy analysts in the field of entrepreneurship
and management.
This insightful book explores the importance and influence of
contextual heterogeneity in the field of entrepreneurship research,
illuminating the circumstances, conditions or environments that may
enable or constrain entrepreneurship. Expert contributors present
the results of empirical studies in a wide variety of contexts,
describing their depth and meaning both for entrepreneurship
research and practice. Chapters illustrate a range of topics and
research methods, including business model innovation in start-up
companies, the challenges and opportunities for women entrepreneurs
in STEM, and the use of technology signalling in explaining the
performance of immigrant entrepreneurship in market economies.
Presenting new scientific evidence in the field, together with
research-informed policy and practical implications, the book
demonstrates that a multitude of research approaches must be used
to reflect the multi-dimensional nature of context in
entrepreneurship. Warning against simplistic interpretations and
superficial conclusions of research, this book will prove to be an
invaluable resource for scholars and students of entrepreneurship.
Its use of empirical studies will also be beneficial for
practitioners in this field.
