The contextual turn in the field of entrepreneurship means it is
crucial for scholars to integrate into their research the
multifaceted contexts in which entrepreneurship is embedded. This
insightful book explores the different spatial, social, digital,
institutional and policy contexts for entrepreneurship and
investigates their relevance for entrepreneurship theory and
practice. Featuring cutting-edge research, Contextual Embeddedness
of Entrepreneurship presents a wide range of theoretical approaches
undertaken to study entrepreneurial behaviour and processes,
analysing their relevance to policy and practice. Chapters examine
these approaches through the lens of specific issues and
circumstances related to digital, edtech, social, international and
peripheral entrepreneurship, exploring diverse perspectives and
illustrating how different contexts shape entrepreneurial activity
and its outcomes. The book ultimately demonstrates how changing
environmental conditions for entrepreneurship – including crises,
societal challenges and increasing digitalisation – can open up
new avenues for research into the embeddedness of entrepreneurship.
Illustrating the continuous evolution of studies in
entrepreneurship, this discerning book will stimulate the research
of students and scholars of business and management. Its up-to-date
empirical approaches and practical insights will also benefit
entrepreneurship researchers and practitioners.
Presenting cutting-edge research from Europe and beyond, The Role
of Ecosystems in Developing Startups examines the diverse triggers
of the entrepreneurial process and evaluates the richness of
different entrepreneurial ecosystems. Novel approaches and
methodologies in the field of startups, small business and
entrepreneurship are provided, together with the conceptualisation
of ecosystems in the managerial field. The book also demonstrates
the importance of context in terms of actors and networks, the
complete entrepreneurial journey as a set of complex processes and
the role of time and resources supporting new companies.
Furthermore, the use of social networks in both the early stages
and in strategy execution are investigated as key to the
entrepreneurial process and its ultimate success. The book's
up-to-date empirical approach and practical guidance will provide
an excellent resource to scholars and researchers in
entrepreneurship alongside other business and management topics,
practitioners and policy analysts in the field of entrepreneurship
and management.
This topical study focuses on entrepreneurship and economic
development in Europe's border regions. It highlights the effects
of EU enlargement in these regions - both within the EU and in
neighboring countries - paying particular attention to cross-border
entrepreneurial activity.Cross-border cooperation involving
entrepreneurs is attracting increasing attention in Europe as EU
enlargement has increased the length of its borders with the former
Soviet republics. The expert contributors highlight that border
regions tend to be economically disadvantaged as a result of their
peripherality, which means that cross-border cooperation for
business purposes represents a potential development tool. This
groundbreaking book contains an empirical evidence base drawn from
regions in EU member states and the Newly Independent States, as
well as providing a conceptual base for informed policy
development. This insightful book will prove invaluable for
academics and students of entrepreneurship, economics, development
and European studies. Contributors include: E. Aculai, G.

In the field of business and management, the core concept
associated with migration sees "difference and distance" as
liabilities, whether they are national, cultural, geographic, or
semantic. While existing research is valuable, recently it has been
suggested that an emphasis on liabilities and adverse outcomes
associated with such differences may hinder our understanding of
the conditions that help to leverage the value of diversity in a
wide range of contexts. Global Migration, Entrepreneurship and
Society seeks to explore these seemingly interconnected processes,
offering a safe space to critically examine the specific political
contexts of excluded groups and develop a much-needed theoretical
and policy-related set of writings that can cast light on the
workings and complexities of processes of global migration,
entrepreneurship and societal integration.
