‘The significance of context and embeddedness, and their intersections, are central concepts to our understanding of entrepreneurial behaviour and how this varies between multiple locations and over time. This edited book presents groundbreaking, empirical research from leading authors that addresses the role of place and institutional and digital embeddedness. The chapters offer detailed research, marshalling a variety of evidence to make links between what goes on inside the enterprise and the contexts in which they are situated. Collectively, the book illuminates the ways in which different levels of context and embeddedness shape entrepreneurial processes and, in doing so, makes a significant contribution to our knowledge and theorising on entrepreneurship.’
