Do clusters matter to entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship
regional outcomes? Why (or why not)? These questions, anchored in
the current gap between the interest in clusters and
entrepreneurship and the little research on their joint impact on
regional development, are the lei motiv of this book. In effect,
near 400 million people are starting or running new businesses,
half of them in developing countries. Also, hundreds of cluster
initiatives have been launched in all the regions of the world
arguing that, among other benefits, they promote entrepreneurship
and employment growth. Yet, both academics and policymakers know
little about the joint impact of entrepreneurship and clusters on
regional development. The reason is the wide diversity of
theoretical and policy approaches to define and measure clusters
and entrepreneurship, and to evaluate their effect on regional
development.
One of the obstacles for understanding the phenomenon of entrepreneurship is the lack of integration of different assumptions, units and levels of analysis that are implicit in its many conceptualisations. This important book offers a pathway to integration by considering eight associated disciplines and theories, presenting an authoritative selection of the most significant published work on entrepreneurship from each perspective.
Entrepreneurship and Regional Development aims to make a theoretical and practical contribution meeting the need for studies on the impact of clusters on entrepreneurship and societal outcomes. This book aims to answer the following research question: Do clusters matter to entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship outcomes at the societal level?
