This insightful Handbook focuses on behavior, performance and
relationships in small and entrepreneurial firms. It introduces a
variety of contemporary topics, research methods and theoretical
frameworks that will provide cutting edge analysis, stimulate
thought, raise further questions and demonstrate the complexity of
the rapidly-advancing field of entrepreneurship.With an extensive
introduction, logical sequencing and a collection of interesting
and original contributions from across the globe, the Handbook
commences with two thought-provoking chapters, which raise issues
of theoretical framing and highlight the importance of paradigm
choice, methodology and method. After considering different
disciplinary approaches to entrepreneurship and small business,
various issues are raised about entrepreneurship education and
learning and the application of entrepreneurship to various sectors
and sectional interests. For example, what conceptual framework is
available for entrepreneurs and small businesses? How does
innovation relate to entrepreneurship and small business behavior?
And what evidence is there of the links between better performing
firms and effective learning? These issues are debated before the
authors consider the future application of entrepreneurship
research to different sectors. Both scholars new to the area, as
well as established academics looking to extend their research
scope to encompass the field of entrepreneurship and small business
will find this work to be an invaluable and timely resource.

Global Knowledge Work is an up-to-date account of theoretical
approaches and empirical research in the multi-disciplinary topic
of global knowledge workers from a relational and diversity
perspective. This informative volume includes contributions from
international scholars and practitioners who have been working with
the concept of global knowledge workers from a number of different
perspectives, including personal and academic life trajectories.
They reveal that the relational framework of the three dimensions
of analysis (macro-meso-micro) is relevant for analyzing the
phenomenon of global knowledge workers, as expertise and
specialized knowledge and its innovative application, together with
the attraction and retention of talent remain key topics in the
current socioeconomic conditions. With a wealth of original
research, this book will strongly appeal to researchers,
practitioners, academics and managers in the fields of diversity,
organizational studies, knowledge management and human resources.

This work by Karatap-Ozkan and Chell provides fresh insights on
entrepreneurial learning and the entrepreneurship process.
Employing a well-informed social constructivist perspective, it
combines theory with a richly grounded empirical analysis at three
distinct but inter-related levels; the micro, the mesa, all set in
the macro context of the enterprise culture. A strength of the work
is the multiple levels of analysis which sheds new light on
entrepreneurial learning as part of the entrepreneurial process.
The result is a processual view that captures, conceptualises and
explains the transitive process of becoming an
entrepreneur.'uAlistair R. Anderson, The Robert Gordon University,
UK'In this book Karatap-Ozkan and Chell show great clarity in
dealing with a range of complex issues. They articulate these in a
manner which makes them interesting and comprehensible and in a
fashion which impressively interweaves theory, practice and
method.'uSarah L. Jack, Lancaster University, UK This informative
book examines the process of nascent entrepreneurship from a
learning perspective. It offers a multi-layered framework of
nascent entrepreneurship through an inter-disciplinary approach and
sound application of Bourdieu's conceptual tools and also by
generating practical insights for nascent entrepreneurs, enterprise
educators and mentors. Supported by an empirical investigation of
two case studies, the authors argue that it is not sufficient to
study nascent entrepreneurship and the concurrent process of
entrepreneurial learning at just the individual (entrepreneur) or
collective (team or organisational) level and examine the
socio-behavioural aspects of learning; but that entrepreneurial
learning should be understood by inter-relating personal (micro),
relational (meso) and macro-contextual aspects of nascent
entrepreneurship. The comprehensive coverage of entrepreneurship
theory and research will be of significant value for scholars,
researchers and students in the field.
