Entrepreneurship Research in Europe: Outcomes and Perspectives

By Alain Fayolle

In this vital new book, leading international scholars highlight the unique characteristics and rich variety of European research in entrepreneurship. They pursue several different perspectives and focus on the key issues and most significant developments in the field. The authors illustrate current conceptions of entrepreneurship research and identify critical methodological and theoretical questions. They also discuss innovations in European research methodologies which often result from holistic and systemic approaches, as well as from multi-disciplinary research. They move on to study entrepreneurship, innovation and culture as a set of interrelated fields, highlighting the role of culture in the growing phenomenon of entrepreneurship. They demonstrate how culture has to be understood in a broad sense and at different levels, such as professional culture, corporate culture and national culture.
