This book explores the complexity faced by today's entrepreneurs. Institutional boundaries, evolutionary perspectives and the intricacies of management are the central themes in this study of entrepreneurs and SMEs in a world marked by major transitions.While mainstream research enhances our understanding of the dynamics of the entrepreneurial process, this book progresses the research yet further. It examines another fundamental role of research in entrepreneurship: our understanding of future organizational and managerial forms evolving from the globalization process. Issues addressed include:growth patterns among enterprises initiated by science-and-technology-based entrepreneursthe actions and motives driving radical entrepreneursthe role of experience versus formal education in entrepreneurshipthe role of endogenous growth processesmanagerial complexity in new knowledge-based enterprisesthe role of collaboration for innovation in new business ventures.The contributors aim to further encourage dialogue and reflections triggered by the growing emphasis on entrepreneurship in policy agendas and business communities all over Europe. As such, this book will prove stimulating reading for researchers, students, academics, consultants and advisers involved in entrepreneurship, business and management.
