This timely book analyses the emergence of new firms in a broad context where economics, management and sociological approaches may be joined for a new perspective.
The Entrepreneurial Society reveals that the market benefits of an entrepreneurial economy are evident in the new technology that has been made available to consumers over the past ten to 20
years. It illustrates that entrepreneurial firms provide the market with innovations that create new products and, in turn, generate new employment and tax revenue, thus playing a critical role
in surviving the economic crisis. The expert contributors explore the diverse conditions that explain, permit and support entrepreneurship, allowing thinking 'outside the box' and enhancing
breakthrough innovations. At a time when new challenges relating to the ecological footprint are appearing, this work will prove crucial.
The eclectic approaches to entrepreneurship within this book, gathered from different countries and fields of research, will prove to be hotly sought after by researchers and postgraduate
students of entrepreneurship and social policy.
