Entrepreneurship As Practice: Grounding Contemporary Theories of Practice into Entrepreneurship Studies
Энэ электрон номын тухай
Entrepreneurship is neither an art nor a science, but a bundle of practices, as Peter Drucker once observed. Curiously however, academic research on entrepreneurship mostly abstracts away from practical activity. In contrast, Entrepreneurship As Practice takes ordinary activities of entrepreneurship seriously by mapping out new pathways for scholars to consider the everyday practices through which entrepreneurship occurs. Each chapter draws on contemporary theories of practice to illuminate the nature, properties, and implications of studying the practices of entrepreneurship.
The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal Entrepreneurship & Regional Development.
