This comprehensive Handbook provides an essential analysis of new
venture creation research. The eminent contributors critically
discuss and explore the current literature as well as suggest
improvements to the field. They reveal a strong sense of both the
'state-of-the-art' (what has and has not been done in new venture
creation research) and the 'state-of-the-could-be' (future
directions the field should take to improve knowledge). The
Handbook comprises nineteen chapters divided into four main
sections: setting the agenda; theoretical perspectives; data and
measurements; and new venture creation through contextual lenses.
path-breaking Handbook has allowed experienced new venture
researchers to tell the world not only where the field has been,
but also where it should be going. Their responses have provided an
insightful and stimulating resource that will be of great practical
value to researchers working in this vital and rapidly expanding
subject. Students and practitioners interested in understanding
leading edge thinking in the field of new venture creation will
also find this handbook invaluable. Contributors: H.E. Aldrich, F.

In the world of business, who you know is usually more important
than what you know. While most research highlights the personal
characteristics and expertise important to business success, this
book demonstrates that networking is the core of entrepreneurship.
Both counterintuitive and powerful, this perspective reframes
entrepreneurial action by placing networking at the center of the
process. Traditionally, networks have been regarded as facilitators
of business, but Tom Elfring, Kim Klyver, and Elco van Burg argue
that networking is actually the basis of entrepreneurial action,
and conversely, that entrepreneurial action is networking. In
developing an "entrepreneurship as networking" model, the book
addresses the persistent problems that plague the dominant
"individual-opportunity" approach in entrepreneurship. They
describe the key dynamics, mechanisms, and practices of
entrepreneurship as networking, and point at fruitful networking
strategies for entrepreneurs. Thus, the authors provide an
integrated and dynamic account of entrepreneurial agency that
prioritizes interaction with the surrounding social environment.
They also explain what a viable network is for entrepreneurs and
how networking activities affect their endeavours. Their
perspective sheds new light on the origins of opportunities and how
entrepreneurs access and mobilize resources. The approach also
explains how entrepreneurs build legitimacy and exploit the
networks they work within. Offering a groundbreaking theory of
entrepreneurial action as networking, Entrepreneurship as
Networking opens up an entirely new research agenda.
