What do entrepreneurs do? In a comprehensive and detailed
exploration using three perspectives - behavior, practice and
process - this Research Handbook demonstrates specific methods for
answering that question and provides insights into the implications
of pursuing that question. The authors demonstrate a variety of
methods including ethnography, autoethnography, participant
observation, diaries, social media platforms and multilevel
research techniques to delve into the foundations of
entrepreneurial behavior. In addition to reinvigorating this long
dormant area of scholarship, these chapters provide scholars with
the idea that the disparate perspectives on this topic are really
headed in the same direction. They also demonstrate the notion that
similar tools can be utilized to answer the same type of questions
emanating from these different perspectives. The contributors go on
to offer insights to a wide range of scholarship on organizations.
Entrepreneurship scholars, PhD students, and upper level graduate
and undergraduate students who want a current overview on the
theories, methods and implications of studying entrepreneurship
will welcome the insights explored in this Research Handbook.

Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given
area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject
in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of
travel. They are relevant but also visionary. There is growing
recognition that entrepreneurship can be better understood within
its context(s). This carefully designed book invites readers to
take a journey: from reflecting critically on where the discussion
on context and entrepreneurship stands today towards identifying
future research questions and themes that deserve the attention of
entrepreneurship scholars. This collection draws attention to the
research challenges the entrepreneurship field faces by reviewing
the many facets of contexts and by reflecting on methods and
theoretical approaches that are required in order to contextualize
entrepreneurship research. Written by renowned international
scholars, the book's leading-edge contributions provide a thorough
exploration of how to contextualize entrepreneurship research.
Taking a multidisciplinary approach, comprehensive coverage of the
entrepreneurship/contexts debate is included, in addition to
reading lists and a chapter dedicated to advancing future research
avenues. Students and academics interested in context and
entrepreneurship will benefit from this far-reaching and
forward-thinking book. Contributors: H.E. Aldrich, T. Baker, M.

This book draws together William B. Gartner's key contributions to
entrepreneurship research over the past 25 years. An original
introduction by the author offers a comprehensive overview and
analysis of his work as it pertains to the development of
entrepreneurship as a scholarly field, and the articles demonstrate
the many ways in which his research has explored entrepreneurship
in relation to individuals, firms, environments, and processes.

This innovative book takes seriously the ordinary activities of
entrepreneurship and maps out new pathways for scholars to
understand the nature, properties, and implications of studying
practices for entrepreneurship studies. Entrepreneurship is neither
an art nor a science, but a bundle of practices, as Peter Drucker
once observed. Curiously however, academic research on
entrepreneurship mostly abstracts away from practical activity. In
contrast, Entrepreneurship As Practice takes ordinary activities of
entrepreneurship seriously by mapping out new pathways for scholars
to consider the everyday practices through which entrepreneurship
occurs. Each chapter draws on contemporary theories of practice to
illuminate the nature, properties, and implications of studying the
practices of entrepreneurship. The chapters in this book were
originally published as a special issue of the journal
Entrepreneurship & Regional Development.

The institutionalization of entrepreneurship is undeniably a good
thing for the members of the research community, as it implies the
legitimization of particular research topics and research
practices; the emergence of norms for developing and publishing
this research; and the creation of structures that provide
employment opportunities and a conducive environment for pursuing
research. However, we can also question if this
institutionalization is such a good thing when it comes to
producing critical, innovative, contextualized, and complex
research or when considered from the point of view of non-academic
entrepreneurship stakeholders and society in general. The objective
of this book is to challenge the main research streams, theories,
methods, epistemologies, assumptions and beliefs dominating the
field of entrepreneurship. In order to achieve this objective, this
book comprises six conceptual and empirical contributions, each one
unorthodox, controversial, inspiring and challenging. This book was
originally published as a special issue of Entrepreneurship and
Regional Development.

This book provides recent ideas, insights, facts, evidence,
frameworks, and perspectives on how and why entrepreneurial
families are successful over generations. The book focuses on how
families successfully implement entrepreneurship across
generations. That success, it argues, requires entrepreneurship at
the level of the family, not only in the businesses the family owns
and manages. Written by noted academics and consultants who are
authorities on family entrepreneurship, the chapters provide a
comprehensive exploration of the characteristics of successful
entrepreneurial families, their motivations, how they behave over
time, and, suggestions for how business families can encourage and
sustain entrepreneurship. This comprehensive look at family
entrepreneurship will serve as a fundamental reference text for
family business consultants, owners, and scholars.
