Toward Entrepreneurial Community Development is about developing
entrepreneurial communities, and goes beyond theories of the firm
to demonstrate how local and regional society contributes in
important ways to the vitality of entrepreneurs. The literature is
rich with insights about leadership and culture within SMEs, and
the behaviours and attitudes of their founders, founding teams, and
managers. Since most of the attention in the entrepreneurship
literature is focused on firms, we wish to explore everyone else:
The social environment surrounding the entrepreneur, and how
leadership and culture outside the firm can have pervasive effects
on the business. This book reaches across disciplinary boundaries,
integrating and advancing knowledge on entrepreneurial community
development. The book identifies actionable leadership strategies
that can be used by literally anyone to help make a community or
region a more culturally-supportive, interactive home for
entrepreneurial minds. We draw from original research to compare
high and low entrepreneurship communities, and present an emergent
picture of how community-level actors can (or fail to) work
together to support entrepreneurship in places that are culturally
distant from the Silicon Valley (i.e., most places). Toward
Entrepreneurial Community Development then offers techniques for
entrepreneurial community leadership, including how to build
lasting alliances, create an image, and harness the local culture
for entrepreneurial advantage. The result is a book that provides
the reader with the latest advancements and techniques in
entrepreneurship development in a straight-forward, readable
format. No matter the reader, Toward Entrepreneurial Community
Development demonstrates how anyone, in any position, can lead a
local entrepreneurship movement starting anywhere, anytime.
