They explore the critical influence of gender, networks, and entrepreneurial resilience in shaping business success and highlight the transformative impact of digital technologies and sustainable business models, addressing ethical concerns and the evolving role of digital platforms. While many discussions are rooted in the European entrepreneurship landscape, the book also presents case studies from other regions, including Africa, providing a broader international perspective.This book is of interest not only to those studying entrepreneurship but also to those exploring shifts in the economic landscape related to business practices. It is relevant to a broad audience, including doctoral students at the beginning of their research journeys as well as scholars seeking insightful findings in their respective fields.
