This book offers a general theoretical framework for approaching
innovation and entrepreneurship, using practical and up-to-date
examples to demonstrate three different levels of innovation and
entrepreneurship: the macro-level, which concerns the impact of
innovation activity on economic growth and production systems; the
meso-level, which concerns the relations between firms, research
institutes and governmental bodies and their role in innovation
activity; and the micro-level, which concerns the dynamics of
innovations within firms and organisations. Providing a critical
overview of existing research and demonstrating the importance of a
transdisciplinary framework for studies of innovation and
entrepreneurship, the author advances a general concept of
'collective entrepreneurship' that emphasises the social and
collaborative nature of innovation and entrepreneurship, thus
shedding light on processes of innovation and entrepreneurship as
active practices of social construction. As such, it will appeal to
scholars of economic sociology, political science, economic
geography and economists, as well as those with interests in
innovation policy.
