Interest in the field of entrepreneurship and the small firm has
developed exponentially in recent decades. However, concerns have
been expressed regarding the need to effectively engage more
critically with the lived experiences of practicing entrepreneurs
through alternative approaches and methods seeking to account for
and highlight the social, political and moral aspect of
entrepreneurial practice. By drawing recognition to the lived
practice of the entrepreneur, one can begin to position the notion
of action as a process of socially constructed emergent practice.
Such discussion would seek to give an alternative perspective as a
method of re-shaping and understanding what it means to practice as
an entrepreneur. This volume seeks to critically explore
alternative dimensions to entrepreneurial and small firm research
and practice. In addition, the authors seek to promote ideas from
other research traditions and perspectives which are culturally
enriched and challenge what we term entrepreneurial and small firm
practice. Including topics drawn from discussions with leading
scholars, researchers and practitioners alike, this collection of
papers aims to generate new and exciting opportunities for a
holistic view of entrepreneurial research agendas, and advance the
manner in which academics and researchers think about and engage
with various aspects of entrepreneurial practice and development.
Entrepreneurship is still regarded by many as in the theory
building stage, which has led to some commentaries to suggest that
the field is fragmented and at a nascent stage of development.
Developing a critical and constructive position towards current
theories, methods, assumptions and beliefs, the book seeks to
question the prevailing assumptions currently dominating
entrepreneurial researching and practice. The book brings together
leading thinkers, practitioners and researchers in the field to
draw upon new theoretical perspectives and approaches as a means of
illustrating the inherently social and contextualized nature of
entrepreneurial practice, and advance the manner in which we
critically think about and engage with various aspects of
entrepreneurial practice and development. Including a unique
combination of studies that illustrate critical perspectives of
current entrepreneurship research, the book covers a broad spectrum
in terms of topics and approaches, as well as in terms of diversity
and critique in their perspectives towards entrepreneurial practice
and scholarship.
