It puts forward a flexible, expansive conceptualization of the continuum of entrepreneurial behaviour and integrates context, culture, social networks and entrepreneurship as an embedded activity.

Recenzje

’This book should help us avoid the temptation to generalize about entrepreneurial behaviours across all ages, sectors, communities, races and genders, and instead help us to gain a better understanding of how variations in entrepreneurial behaviour occur. The attention to the global age characterized by, technology, ethics, demographics, nation/state and culture provides a future dimension which leads us to question assumptions guiding theories about entrepreneurial behaviour. The combination of embeddedness and the global age as lenses through which to examine entrepreneurship should lead to new research directions. I would like to own all the chapters!’ Candida G. Brush, Associate Professor of Strategy and Policy, Research Director of Entrepreneurial Management Institute, Boston University, USA 'Here is a book that truly does provide a fresh and innovative approach to Entrepreneurship. Its holistic approach to interdisciplinary perspectives of entrepreneurship should be basic reading for all students and scholars of entrepreneurship. The book's focus on the underlying global aspects and their implications for entrepreneurial activity identifies the need for new research directions.'
