Opis

This book introduces entrepreneurship as a concept that is popular in the general media but also in academic study. What is evident is due to its positive and negative connotations in society. This book identifies that it is important to debate the topic of entrepreneurship in order to understand its multi-faceted nature. This edited book includes a number of chapters that discuss multidimensional perspectives from an international perspective. This book emphasizes the geo-political frontiers related to entrepreneurship based on current debates, which includes recent global changes.This book also challenges the debatable as to whether entrepreneurship should be examined at the individual, firm, regional, or industry level. This book goes further to demonstrate that this depends on the type and nature of the study. Therefore, it is better to consider entrepreneurship in a multidimensional way that incorporates different levels of analysis.This book shows each level of analysis that can be considered from a geo-political perspective. This means including an overview of the cultural factors that influence entrepreneurial behavior. In this way, this book helps readers to understand how and why geography and politics influence entrepreneurial action.
