Volume 18 will focus on approaches to thinking about and creating
the start-up. Both theoretical and empirical manuscripts that
consider all aspects of start-up planning, thinking and action will
be considered. We also encourage practice-based research and
manuscripts that explore cutting-edge pedagogical approaches. The
papers in Advances reflect many state-of-the-art topics and
approaches, and are written by leading researches in the field,
making each volume an important source of information for virtually
all entrepreneurship researchers. One of the distinctive
competences of research volumes such as Advances is that the
chapters can be published without page restrictions allowing for
greater detail in the background, development, and implementation
of ideas than is possible in journal articles. This provides
authors with the opportunity to fully express their key ideas,
provide much more complete support, and include relevant multi-page
appendices. In effect, the Advances series provides authors the
opportunity to publish an "article of record" of their major
theoretical or empirical ideas, and see it disseminated to a wide
audience.
There have been significant advances in entrepreneurship education
pedagogy over the last two decades. However, a gap remains with
many questions about exactly what we should be teaching in the
classroom and how we should be teaching it. Stakeholders of all
types - students, parents, employers, accrediting bodies, and
government officials - are all looking for clarity, transparency,
and a stronger sense of exactly what should encompass an
entrepreneurship education. What should the outcome of
entrepreneurship courses and programs be? What are we currently
teaching? What should we be teaching? And, how should we be
teaching it, are just some of the foundational questions addressed
in The Age of Entrepreneurship Education Research. The collection
of renowned entrepreneurship education researchers explores topics
such as the theory of ideation, how to develop an expertise
approach, how to reimagine entrepreneurship education to promote
gender equality, how to activate an entrepreneurial mindset for
neuro-diverse students, and more. The volume is bookended with an
opening chapter that traces the evolution of entrepreneurship
education research and a closing one that looks toward the future.
This volume is of great interest to both teachers and students and
practitioners in entrepreneurship, business and education.
Advances in Entrepreneurship, Firm Emergence and Growth provides an
annual examination of the major current research, theoretical and
methodological efforts in the field of entrepreneurship and its
related disciplines, including firm emergence and growth research.
The Advances series also publishes papers from other fields, such
as strategy, organizational behavior or sociology, that use
entrepreneurial samples or make a contribution to entrepreneurial
theory or research. It is a key source of articles-of-record for
major concepts in the discipline of entrepreneurship. Volume 20,
Reflections and Extensions on Key Papers of the First Twenty-Five
Years of Advances, is the first in a two volume collection that
celebrates the series' anniversary and embodies the idea of "past
as prologue." This first volume showcases some of the most
important and well-cited papers from the series including works by
Dean Shepherd, Zach Zacharakis, and Connie Marie Gaglio.
Reflections on their original works by each author as well as
commentary by rising scholars of today are also included. The
volume demonstrates the timelessness of the original classic works
and demonstrates how they connect and energize leading-edge
contemporary research in entrepreneurship today.
Contains an Open Access chapter. Recent estimates suggest that
millions of people across the world are involved in some form of
social venture creation. After over a decade of thoughtful
scholarship on social entrepreneurship, researchers have now begun
to examine individuals and organizations that purposefully combine
social and economic outcomes. In Hybrid Ventures, leading
researchers examine individuals and organizations that
simultaneously attempt to pursue such bended value outcomes.
Various perspectives on hybrid ventures are explored in this
volume, including: the costs to all when some entrepreneurs do not
pursue hybrid approaches, whether hybrid ventures are - or should
be - the new norm, and whether the social, environmental, and
economic value are distinct and should be separated from each
other. This volume contains both theoretical and empirical
approaches to hybrid venturing from an international group of
researchers. Specific topics include: the emergence of Certified B
Corporations, different hybrid business models, the role of impact
investing, indigenous entrepreneurship, hybrid ventures as "agents
of change," and more. For nearly two decades, the Advances in
Entrepreneurship, Firm Emergence and Growth series has provided an
annual examination of the major current research, efforts in the
field of entrepreneurship and Hybrid Ventures: Perspectives &
Approaches to Blended Value Entrepreneurship continue in that
tradition. This volume provides state-of-the-art research that
helps set the foundation for inquiries into important research for
the next decade and beyond.
The latest volume of Advances in Entrepreneurship, Firm Emergence
and Growth examines many questions regarding growth. What decisions
and designs of the entrepreneur lead to growth? What are the
beginning stages of growth? Are there differences in what drives
high growth entrepreneurship versus slower growth entrepreneurship?
Are new firms adopting novel approaches to growth? How do growth
rates and patterns change over the life of the firm? What policies,
infrastructure, and capabilities are necessary to for
entrepreneurial regional growth at the macro level? What are the
foundational components necessary for growth across all levels of
entrepreneurship?
Advances in Entrepreneurship, Firm Emergence and Growth provides an
annual examination of the major current research in the field of
entrepreneurship, including firm emergence and growth research. The
Advances series also publishes papers from fields such as strategy
or sociology that use entrepreneurial examples. It is a key source
of articles of record for major concepts in the discipline of
entrepreneurship. Volume 16 considers the central issue of academic
entrepreneurship: the factors and concepts that underpin the
fostering of university based entrepreneurial ventures.
Specifically, it contains research on the consequences of
university technology transfer, with a strong emphasis on the
entrepreneurial dimension of this activity. The theoretical and
empirical manuscripts in this volume consider all aspects of how
university stakeholders create, incubate, and accelerate ventures.
This volume explores the theme of "resources" in entrepreneurship,
and examines the resourcefulness of entrepreneurs that persevere in
uncertain times to build new businesses. The different perspectives
gathered in this volume present new ways of thinking about how
entrepreneurs acquire, borrow, and make use of resources in
seemingly impossible environments. Contributions discuss how
entrepreneurs can yield success using bricolage; how to leverage
"newness" and resource constraints as an advantage; and how high
growth entrepreneurs overcome cognitive weaknesses and self doubt
to succeed in new ventures. Further articles provide insights into
resourcefulness of corporate entrepreneurial environments; links
between knowledge flows and barriers in the entrepreneurship
processes; and entrepreneurial resourcefulness in challenging and
hostile economic environments.
Volume 14 addresses the central issue of entrepreneurial action:
while many factors are important to the phenomenon of
entrepreneurship, entrepreneurship does not happen until someone
takes action! Leading scholars address this through cutting edge
thinking on entrepreneurial action via concepts such as
'world-making' and entrepreneurial agency. Two empirical chapters
examine how conditions of uncertainty shape the action that
underlies opportunity creation and how specific venture creation
actions effect nascent entrepreneurial efforts. An integrative
model of the cognitive processes provides new insights regarding
the importance of inflection points. The role of institutions in
entrepreneurial action is examined in the case of state-sponsored
social protection and university-based technology transfer systems.
Applying effectual and linear models of entrepreneurial action in
college classrooms is also explored. The final chapter examines the
conceptual foundations and research challenges that lie ahead for
scholars investigating entrepreneurial action.
Understanding the concept of Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO) is of
critical importance as organizations and individuals manage a world
that is defined by increasing uncertainty and complexity. The need
for organizations of all types and sizes to survive and thrive in
such an environment demonstrates a clear need for both managers and
academics to really understand EO. Building upon this foundational
need to better understand EO and with both a scholarly desire to
synthesize and the practical need to execute, this volume convenes
some of the world's leading experts on EO to address some of the
most pressing issues facing scholars and leaders in the world of
practice. Within this volume, you'll discover cutting edge insights
ranging from theorizing on the future of EO to an empirical
investigation of its measurement. There are chapters that focus on
international ventures and EO and a detailed call for a global,
multidimensional view of EO. Other contributions provide contextual
views of EO that examine its connections to digital work
environments, family business, and more. Taken together, this
volume provides readers with an overview of the current state of EO
research and sets a compelling agenda for its future.
Advances in Entrepreneurship, Firm Emergence and Growth provides an
annual examination of the major current research, theoretical and
methodological efforts in the field of entrepreneurship and its
related disciplines, including firm emergence and growth research.
It is a key source of articles-of-record for major concepts in the
discipline of entrepreneurship. Seminal Ideas for the Next
Twenty-Five Years of Advances is the second of two volumes
exploring and celebrating some of the most long-lasting and
influential contributions to Advances in Entrepreneurship, Firm
Emergence and Growth. Written and edited by some of the world's
leading entrepreneurship academics, this anniversary volume
showcases three chapters from the series, along with author
reflections, and three new papers showing how these classic ideas
connect and energize leading-edge contemporary research in
entrepreneurship and related fields. For any researcher and student
of entrepreneurship or related disciplines, this is a fundamental
text that celebrates the past, while exploring the future.
Large, mature companies often struggle when it comes to the
uncertain process of breakthrough innovation. But innovation is an
imperative in today's cutthroat business environment. To fulfill
its potential, there has to be a better way—and there is. Beyond
the Champion argues that innovation is a talent all its own that
requires distinct skills and expertise, just like finance or
marketing. Viewing innovation as a discipline in its own right, it
is easy to see that breakthrough wins require an organizational
design with clearly delineated roles, responsibilities, and career
tracks for those who shoulder the responsibility for new products.
Drawing on the results of a four-year study and two decades of
related research, this book outlines three fundamental competencies
necessary for innovation: discovery, incubation, and acceleration.
Mapping these skills onto roles and opportunities for advancement,
the authors deliver a pioneering blueprint for sustainable
innovation.
