Entrepreneurship has always been a key factor in economic growth, innovation, and the development of firms and businesses. More recently, new technologies, the waning of the 'old economy', globalization, changing cultures and popular attitudes, and new policy stances have further highlighted the importance of entrepreneurship and enterprise.
Entrepreneurship is now a dynamic and expanding area of research, teaching, and debate, but there has been no standard reference work that is suitable for both established scholars and new researchers. This book fills that gap. All the major aspects of entrepreneurship are covered, including:
* the start-up and growth of firms,
* financing and venture capital,
* innovation, technology and marketing,
* women entrepreneurs,
* ethnic entrepreneurs,
* migration,
* small firm policy,
* the economic and social history of entrepreneurship.
