Entrepreneurial Strategy aims to revive the debate on the role of
entrepreneurship in the context of mature business. The authors
contend that mature and declining industries are increasingly
dominated by the negative pressure of external factors, but they
are also embedded with a potential renewed role for
entrepreneurship because the industry forces as a whole tend to
break up, leaving space for strategic business innovation. The book
offers a thorough insight to the entrepreneurial dynamics behind
emerging businesses in declining industries, in particular on the
roles of resources, processes and people. Using structured business
case studies, it illustrates the entrepreneurial strategy of these
firms, concluding that emerging firms target growth by: * expanding
to control key assets * using innovation rather than production of
new technologies * making significant improvements in productivity
* building a particular customer-oriented reputation.
Practitioners, managers and entrepreneurs wishing to better
understand the dynamics behind emerging businesses, and
policymakers developing industry foresight and setting out policies
for the enhancement of entrepreneurial activity will find this book
invaluable. It will also be warmly welcomed by students, academics
and researchers with an interest in entrepreneurship, industrial
economics and business administration.
This book aims to contribute to the understanding and evaluation of
the processes through which innovative knowledge is created and
translated to entrepreneurial technological advantage in higher
education institutions. The chapters included in this edited volume
discuss new trends related to the impact of policies on innovation
and entrepreneurial activity in universities, by providing a
variety of insights from both an individual and an institutional
perspective and with reference to a number of different contexts
and units of analysis. The integration of both qualitative and
quantitative approaches, as well as the multidisciplinary approach
that characterizes this volume makes it possible to provide an
in-depth understanding of today's dynamics. The volume will be of
relevance to scholars, students and researchers interested in
Entrepreneurship, Higher Education, Economics and Technology
Management. The chapters in this book were originally published as
a special issue of the journal Industry & Innovation.
This book scrutinizes the relationship between entrepreneurship and
change in technological domains in order to discover how each
element influences the other. Fresh empirical evidence is placed
under the lens of recent theoretical advancements, through the
exploration of entrepreneurial initiatives at firm, regional and
industrial levels. Distinguished scholars in the fields of
entrepreneurship, technology management, strategy and innovation
investigate how technological changes generate opportunities that
entrepreneurs or entrepreneurial organizations can fully exploit.
They also discuss the argument that entrepreneurial behavior can be
a promoter of change in both technology-generating and
technology-adopting businesses, and explore topics such as
strategic renewal through change and entrepreneurship (at both
corporate, regional and industrial level). This unique and
absorbing book will prove invaluable to academics and students with
an interest in entrepreneurship and technology, as well as to
entrepreneurs, research and development managers and corporate
executives wishing to gain an insight on how change benefits
business creation and renewal. Contributors include: O.J. Borch, L.
