The 2008 financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic have made the
authorities to increasingly turn inward and use ethnocentrism,
protectionism, and top-down approaches to guide policy on trade,
competition, and industrial development. The continuing
aftereffects of such policies range from the rise and seeming
success of authoritarian states, rise of populist and protectionist
trends, and evolving academic agendas inspiring the reemergence of
top-down industrial policies across the world. This open access
edited volume contains contributions from over 30 scholars with
expertise in economics, innovation, management, and economic
history. The chapters offer unique theoretical and empirical
contributions discussing topics such as how industrial policies
affect risk, incentives, and information for investments. They also
address the policy perspectives on new technologies such as AI and
its implications for market entry, the role for independent
entrepreneurship in increasingly regulated markets, and whether
governments should focus on market interventions or institutional
capacity-building. Questioning the Entrepreneurial State initiates
a much sought-after debate on the notion of an Entrepreneurial
State. It discusses the dangers of top-down approaches to
industrial policy, examines lessons from such approaches for future
policy design, and calls attention to the progress of open and
contestable markets in a sound economy and society. "Creative
destruction, innovation and entrepreneurship are at the core of
economic growth. The government has a clear role, to provide the
basic fabric of a dynamic society, but industrial policy and
state-owned companies are the boulevard of broken dreams and
unrealized visions. This important message is convincingly stated
in Questioning the Entrepreneurial State." Anders Borg, former
Minister of Finance, Sweden "Misreading the dynamism of American
entrepreneurship, European intellectuals and policy makers have
embraced a dangerous fantasy: catching up requires constructing an
entrepreneurial state. This book provides a vital antidote: The
entrepreneur comes first: The state may support. It cannot lead."
Amar Bhide, Thomas Schmidheiny Professor of International Business,
Tufts University "This important new book subjects the emergence of
the entrepreneurial state, which reflects a shift in the locus of
entrepreneurship from the individual to the public sector, to the
scrutiny of rigorous analysis. The resulting concerns, flaws and
biases inherent in the entrepreneurial state exposed are both
alarming and sobering. The skill and scholarly craftsmanship
brought to bear in this crucial analysis is evident throughout the
book, along with the even, but ultimately consequential thinking of
the authors. A must read for researchers and thought leaders in
business and policy." David Audtretsch, Distinguished Professor,
Ameritech Chair of Economic Development, Indiana University
How and why are firms created, expanded and terminated by
entrepreneurs in the knowledge intensive economy? The authors show
these entrepreneurship processes are firmly embedded in a given
social and economic context, that shapes the process by which some
individuals discover entrepreneurial opportunities, creating new
firms that sometimes grow to remarkable size, but more often stay
mundane or eventually exit. The authors expertly provide a
theoretical and empirical examination of new knowledge intensive
firms over their whole life cycle using a unique set of matched
employee?employer data containing over three million individuals
and over 200,000 firms. With theoretical pillars anchored in
industrial organization economics, evolutionary organization
theory, and entrepreneurship research, this book presents a
detailed investigation of the entrepreneurial processes of firm
entry, growth, and their eventual demise.This insightful book will
prove to be invaluable for business policymakers as well as
postgraduate students and researchers in management, economics, and
entrepreneurship.
As the world emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic, this book explores
current migration and integration challenges. Against the
background of long-term migration trends, it asks whether the
pandemic has changed the patterns observed, transformed the
circumstances international migrants face at destination or whether
the opportunities and challenges for integration have been altered.
Twenty-four researchers have contributed to this volume
with research attention on how COVID-19 has affected
transnationalism and identity, labour market employment,
and impacted the discrimination of migrants in a variety of
ways. Loyalties and tensions created by the need to include also
hesitant migrant groups in vaccination programmes are explored. The
role of cosmopolitanism and welfare chauvinism in narratives on
inward migrations flows, the stance of trade unions on migration,
the complexities of implementing return policies, and the
challenges faced by unaccompanied refugee youth from Afghanistan
are also discussed.
