In response to the increasing move by scholars to reference other fields of knowledge in the  advancement of entrepreneurship studies, this book offers an interdisciplinary approach to the study of entrepreneurship. The author investigates five main issues about entrepreneurial processes:the origin of entrepreneurship, the purpose to achieve, the way decisions are made, the creation of entrepreneurial networks and ecosystems. Respectively, these issues are analysed from new perspectives related to other disciplines, such as mythology, philosophy, mathematics, chemistry, and biology. In this way, the book investigates pervading questions about entrepreneurial processes that are still unsolved. By adopting this novel interdisciplinary approach, the book opens up new avenues of research in entrepreneurship studies.  

The book deals with the issue of entrepreneurial processes in the era of digital transformation, which is generating profound changes in the business environment, blurring industry boundaries, and creating unprecedented threats and opportunities for firms. The phenomenon of digital transformation is simultaneously or alternatively observed from three different research perspectives: The context in which entrepreneurial processes take place and its impact on them; The impact of digitalization on the initial phase of entrepreneurial processes; The profiles and the roles of individuals in entrepreneurial processes (considering the team dynamics as well); The growth path addressed to carry out entrepreneurial processes.

Entrepreneurship Trajectories: Entrepreneurial Opportunities, Business Models, and Firm Performance explores several entrepreneurship trajectories recognized by economists and entrepreneurs. It is not possible to talk about growth paths addressed by entrepreneurial ventures without recalling the business model and the type of entrepreneurial opportunity at their foundations. Diego Matricano assumes that the growth paths addressed by entrepreneurial ventures depend on both effective business models and promising opportunities. This pragmatic guide illuminates the entrepreneurial trajectories linking opportunities, business models, and growth paths, offering complete and nuanced views through its extensive use of case studies.
