Transformational Entrepreneurship Practices: Global Case Studies

In order for entrepreneurship to play a role in socio-economic development, a balance needs to be struck between focusing on individual entrepreneurial activities and regions, and society-wide changes. Contributing to the discussion, this new Palgrave Pivot focuses on how critical concepts of transformational entrepreneurship can be contextualised for regions and countries. Following on from the Editors’ two previous books Systemic Entrepreneurship and Entrepreneurship Centres, this new volume delves deeper into how transformational entrepreneurship practices can be implemented in different geographical settings. An invaluable read for policy-makers as well as scholars, this book provides a series of detailed case studies from a number of countries including the UK, Australian and China.
