This core textbook presents different ways of thinking about entrepreneurship: instead of topics such as finance or opportunities, the book focuses on perspectives or ways of seeing. Written by leading experts, the text examines the emergence and development of entrepreneurship as an academic discipline and takes a critical look at the varying positions in the field as well as their overall contribution to entrepreneurship as a whole. Through twelve chapters, written from such wide ranging perspectives as feminism, psychology, institutionalism, critical realism and evolution, the book provides a clear and accessible framework that encourages students' critical engagement with the subject. This is an essential textbook for upper level undergraduate and postgraduate students of entrepreneurship.
This book provides a fascinating account of a hitherto unexplored world. Its insights stem from the author's unique position as an insider, with years of experience working in the industry, who has stepped outside it to analyse its dynamics and relate it to its context. The study combines a detailed portrait of a distinctive sector with analysis which uses the case study to address wider debates. These include the regulation of the workplace, the role of management in handling uncertainty and the place of gender and ethnicity at work. The case itself is based on a year-long study of three firms in the West Midlands, UK, but the author also has drawn on his experience as a manager and consultant in the sector to provide an in-depth account of how small firms actually work.
