    Essentials of EntrepreneurshipEvidence and PracticeRobert A. Baron, Oklahoma State University, US

    This essential text will be a perfect fit for any introductory course, both within and outside of the business school.

    Entrepreneurs are, in essence, individuals who take action to convert their ideas into reality. Doing so involves completing many steps; Robert Baron describes these steps, and provides guidance for performing them successfully. To do so, the book incorporates several features:

    the information presented is based on current evidence, rather than informal knowledge or comments of specific entrepreneurs

    the focus is primarily on the essentials the issues and topics most central to the field

    the book does not assume extensive knowledge of basic management disciplines, and so is accessible to readers with a wide range of backgrounds.

    Entrepreneurship in Theory and PracticeParadoxes in PlaySuna Lwe Nielsen, Kim Klyver, Majbritt Rostgaard Evald and Torben Bager, University of Southern Denmark

    A creative, accessible textbook for both undergraduate students and would-be entrepreneurs.

    Entrepreneurship in Theory and Practice is not your typical textbook in entrepreneurship. The authors have taken a very creative look at the seeming contradictions that make up the creation of a new business venture. Their use of current research as well as thought provoking cases to illustrate behaviors such as opportunity recognition make this book one that both professors and would be entrepreneurs should read.

    Handbook of Research on Small Business and EntrepreneurshipEdited by Elizabeth Chell, Kingston University and Mine Karata-zkan, University of Southampton, UK

    This insightful Handbook introduces a variety of contemporary topics, research methods and theoretical frameworks that will provide cutting edge analysis, stimulate thought, raise further questions and demonstrate the complexity of this rapidly-advancing field. Entrepreneurship is such a young discipline, relatively speaking, that there is considerable opportunity for researchers to make their mark and to shape its future direction.

    Both scholars new to the area, as well as established academics looking to extend their research scope to encompass the field of entrepreneurship and small business, will find this work to be an invaluable and timely resource.

    Environmental EntrepreneurshipMarkets Meet the Environment in Unexpected PlacesLaura E. Huggins, PERC and Stanford University, US

    In this innovative book, Laura E. Huggins finds path breaking entrepreneurial solutions to difficult environmental challenges in some of the worlds poorest areas.

    The approaches entrepreneurs are taking to these challenges involve establishing property rights and encouraging market exchange. From beehives to barbed wire, these tools are creating positive incentives and promoting both economic development and environmental improvements. The case studies are from the developing world and reveal where the biggest victories for less poverty and more conservation can be won. The pursuit begins by learning from local people solving local problems.

    Handbook of Research on EntrepreneurshipWhat We Know and What We Need to KnowEdited by Alain Fayolle, EMLYON Business School, France

    This indispensable Handbook offers a fresh look at entrepreneurship research, addressing what we already know, and what we still need to know, in the field.

    Over the course of 17 chapters, a collaboration of 24 highly-regarded researchers, expert in their fields, provide an insightful new perspective on the future of the study of entrepreneurship. They show that there is a need to redesign research in the field enacting entrepreneurship out of the box and consider the history of entrepreneurship whilst developing the future course for research. They also underline the importance of developing research at the crossroads of different fields and the need to explore new domains and/or revisit existing ones from differing perspectives. Finally, they express a desire for more continuity in research, developing knowledge around key concepts and insightful domains.

    How to Get Published in the Best Entrepreneurship JournalsA Guide to Steer Your Academic CareerEdited by Alain Fayolle, EMLYON Business School, France and Mike Wright, Imperial College London, UK and University of Ghent, Belgium

    This book fills a critical need in the field. It is co-edited by two highly respected and accomplished entrepreneurship scholars, and the chapters are prepared by seasoned authors who provide the knowledge of how to publish research in the top entrepreneurship journals. Publication in these journals has become highly competitive, with only a small percentage of the submitted manuscripts accepted. As such, this is a highly valuable treatise for entrepreneurship scholars and PhD students. It should be required reading for all entrepreneurship researchers.

    Michael A. Hitt, Texas A&M University, US

    Competition to publish in the top journals is fierce. This book provides entrepreneurship researchers with relevant material and insights to support them in their efforts to publish their research in the most prestigious entrepreneurship outlets.

    Co-operatives are found in all industry sectors and almost all countries around the world. However, despite their significant economic and social contributions, the academic literature has largely ignored these important businesses. This book is a detailed examination of the co-operative enterprise business model and the factors that help to enhance its sustainability and resilience, as well as those forces that lead to its destruction.

    Concepts of EntrepreneurshipEdited by Hctor O. Rocha, IAE Business School, Argentina, David B. Audretsch, Indiana University, US and Julian Birkinshaw, London Business School, UK

    One of the obstacles for understanding the phenomenon of entrepreneurship is the lack of integration of different assumptions, units and levels of analysis that are implicit in its many conceptualisations. This important book offers a pathway to integration by considering eight associated disciplines and theories, presenting an authoritative selection of the most significant published work on entrepreneurship from each perspective. Including an original introduction, this is a key reference for academics and policy makers.

    Entrepreneurial FailureEdited by Dean A. Shepherd, Indiana University, US

    Entrepreneurs act in environments of great risk and high uncertainty, and as a result, failure is a common occurrence.

By understanding these causes and consequences, entrepreneurs may become better able to manage failure, to reduce its costs and to capitalize on its benefits.

    RESEARCH COLLECTIONS

    The International Library of Entrepreneurship series Series editor: David B. Audretsch, Indiana University, USEntrepreneurship, or its absence, becomes increasingly prominent as the process of change accelerates in a rapidly globalizing economy. Yet the scholarly traditions focusing on entrepreneurship have been relatively underdeveloped and dispersed across a broad spectrum of academic disciplines. The purpose of this series is to bring together the most seminal and compelling scholarly research on entrepreneurship which provides the intellectual framework and foundations underlying entrepreneurship as an important field of scholarship. Each volume is edited by a leading specialist and provides an authoritative overview of its subject area, drawing together a careful selection of the key articles set in context by a new introduction.

Scholars seeking to understand and build on those developments will find this volume a very useful resource. In it, Audretsch and Lehmann have assembled several classic pieces of governance scholarship alongside a number of more recent pieces that point the way towards promising new avenues of research.

    The recent renaissance in the use of prizes to spur innovation and extraordinary novel performance warrants close attention. Luciano Kay does so through a series of compelling case studies which shows the potential of prizes, the range of factors that influence their performance and the importance of understanding their non-pecuniary dimensions, even when there is a substantial purse. This is an important contribution to the innovation literature.

  • Finance in an Age of AusterityThe Power of Customer-owned BanksJohnston Birchall, Stirling University, UK

    This is a book in search of an alternative to the discredited investor-owned banks that have brought the rich countries into crisis and the world economy into a long period of austerity. It finds customer-owned banks credit unions, co-operative banks, building societies have hardly been affected by the crisis and continue to operate according to their organisational DNA: low-risk, close to the customer, underpinned by real savings, and still lending to SMEs to protect jobs and local economies. They are big business in some countries with over 40% of the market but networked in smaller, democratic societies whose origins go back to 1850s Germany.

    Handbook of Research on Venture Capital: Volume 2A Globalizing IndustryEdited by Hans Landstrm, Lund University, Sweden and Colin Mason, University of Glasgow, UK

    The second volume of the Handbook of Research on Venture Capital provides an important guidepost for venture capital researchers. As Landstrm and Mason point out, the nature of venture capital has changed dramatically over the last ten years. The asset class as a whole has failed to return principal and the old model is under tremendous strain. The contributors nicely highlight many of these changes, especially how venture capital has scaled beyond the US. For those of us active in venture capital research, the chapters raise many interesting research questions that deserve further attention.

    Entrepreneurship across Generations examines dimensions of identity, gender and learning to understand the complex fabric of family business. An interpretation of narratives from two generations in five families constitutes entrepreneurship as an inherently social, rather than individual, phenomenon.

    This enriching book explains how entrepreneurial capacity is shared between generations, showing how learning is embedded within everyday social practice in the family and the business.

    Handbook on the Entrepreneurial UniversityEdited by Alain Fayolle, EMLYON Business School, France and Dana T. Redford, UCP-Porto, Portugal

    This insightful Handbook offers a lens through which to view entrepreneurship strategy for higher education institutions, as it becomes increasingly necessary for universities to consider changing their strategies, culture and practices to become more entrepreneurial.

    Is the idea of an entrepreneurial university a myth or a reality? Is the university model capable of adapting to new evolving trends and a more complex professional world? And, what is the impact of entrepreneurship in education? Through extensive research and case studies from some of the leading entrepreneurial thinkers around the world, Alain Fayolle and Dana Redford answer these questions and raise further issues for debate.

    Institutional EntrepreneurshipEdited by Magnus Henrekson, Research Institute of Industrial Economics, Sweden and Tino Sanandaji, University of Chicago, US and Research Institute of Industrial Economics, Sweden

    The growing recognition of the extent to which institutions determine economic outcomes has been one of the key developments in economic research and policy analysis in the last two decades. At the same time, the entrepreneur has made a comeback, resurrected as one of the prime value creators in society. This comprehensive volume builds on Baumols 1990 framework to categorize and classify the growing research field that explores the interplay between institutions and entrepreneurship.

    Managing Knowledge Intensive EntrepreneurshipMaureen McKelvey, University of Gothenburg, Sweden and Astrid Heidemann Lassen, Aalborg University, Denmark

    This original and exciting new work differs from existing books on entrepreneurship by focusing specifically on the relationship between knowledge and entrepreneurship. Moreover, the book differs by uniting an academic review of theoretical and empirical contributions with an analysis of the practical implications for engaging in and learning about venture creation. The authors concentrate on specific types of firms reliant upon advanced knowledge and show how a systemic perspective of entrepreneurship is required, involving design thinking, in order to capture the relationships between individual, venture and eco-system.

    Creativity and EntrepreneurshipChanging Currents in Education and Public LifeEdited by Lynn Book and David P. Phillips, Wake Forest University, US

    This is a timely book that establishes the imperative for advancing creativity and entrepreneurship in the 21st century, not just for economic development, but more importantly, for social and moral growth. The book demonstrates the transformative possibilities of embedding creative practice and interdisciplinary exploration in our schools, businesses, and communities. But, the authors also acknowledge the institutional challenges and constraints that often stand in the way of creative entrepreneurs. With a clarion call for better research and more sophisticated theories, Creativity and Entrepreneurship suggests we might be able to make radical changes in some of our most crucial public arenas education, medicine, politics and more.

    Acclaim for previous editions:

    The Global Entrepreneurship and Development Index . . . focuses on high-growth companies. It tries to measure the ambition of entrepreneurs as well as the prevalence of start-ups. It presents its results in ways that are designed to capture the attention of policymakers. It produces a ranking of 71 countries (for all their faults, nothing makes a politician jump like a league table). It also identifies bottlenecks that prevent countries from doing better. The index concludes that development and enterprise are correlated.

The Handbook reasserts the intellectual and practical primacy of organizational creation as the driving force of entrepreneurship.

    There are few sectors where getting things done sustainably is as important as it is for the water sector. From drinking water and sanitation to water use in agriculture, industry, and ecosystems, Rafael Ziegler and his co-authors investigate the contribution of social entrepreneurship to the sustainable use of water. In doing so, they critically discuss the ethics and politics of new innovations, with the emphasis on ideas changing heads rather than money changing hands.

    By bringing together questions from ecology, ethics, management, and political science and drawing on research in close collaboration with practitioners across the world, the approach taken is both inter- and trans-disciplinary.

    Theory and Empirical Research in Social Entrepreneurship Edited by Phillip H. Phan, Johns Hopkins University, Jill Kickul, New York University, Stern School of Business, Sophie Bacq, Northeastern University, DAmore-McKim School of Business, Boston, US and Mattias Nordqvist, Jnkping International Business School, Sweden and Center for Family Enterprise Ownership (CeFEO), Sweden

    Social entrepreneurship has emerged as an academic field, due to growing interest among students, academics, and policymakers in understanding the antecedents and consequences of these activities. Unfortunately, there has been no comprehensive collection of state-of-the-art theoretical and empirical research on this topic. This timely and important book fills this gap, by effectively synthesizing the burgeoning interdisciplinary literature on social entrepreneurship. Given growing interest in social entrepreneurship, the usefulness of this book to academics, entrepreneurs, and policymakers will not diminish over time.

    It is over twenty years since the first research article on social entrepreneurship was published.

In creating this two-volume collection, the editors have successfully brought together the most important and influential social entrepreneurship articles to date. Topics covered include social entrepreneurship opportunities and creation, developing business models and organizational forms, social impact and contextual influences on social entrepreneurship.

    Societal EntrepreneurshipPositioning, Penetrating, PromotingEdited by Karin Berglund, Stockholm University, Bengt Johannisson, Linnaeus University and Birgitta Schwartz, Mlardalen University, Sweden

    Most social ventures cross the boundaries between the private, the public and the non-profit/voluntary sectors, and this broad involvement of actors and intertwining of sectors makes the label societal entrepreneurship more appropriate. Stating the importance of both the local and the broader societal context, the book reports close-up studies from a variety of social ventures. Generic themes include positioning societal entrepreneurship against other images of collective entrepreneurship, critically penetrating its assumptions and practices and proposing ways of promoting societal entrepreneurship more widely.
