This book provides an understanding of ‘opportunity recognition’ as a catalyst and crux of the entrepreneurial process. Grounded in research, it introduces the key concepts at the heart of entrepreneurship theory and practice and demonstrates how entrepreneurship differs from management in language, priorities and practice. The book’s central framework is mapped around ‘seeing and seizing opportunities’, where the entrepreneur enters a situation, eventually sees an opportunity and takes it through a process of idea development into an actionable entrepreneurial initiative. This captures the book’s four core elements: person(s), environment, opportunity and process. The Entrepreneurial Process is unique in its explanation of how key concepts are related and how they can be applied practically to business models, plans and action. Case studies from real-life organizations, reflective questions and short exercises throughout encourage student learning and enable true engagement with the subject matter, building students’ entrepreneurial efficacy. A ‘one-stop shop’ of key theoretical perspectives on entrepreneurship, opportunity recognition and business modelling, this textbook is essential for undergraduate and postgraduate students on introductory entrepreneurship and enterprise courses. Its practical and applied nature also makes it suitable for MBA and executive education. Online resources include chapter-by-chapter PowerPoint slides and a test bank of questions.

This textbook focuses on entrepreneurship with special reference to value, venture, and wealth creation. In doing so, it elaborates on creation of consumer surplus and producer surplus through value creation, creation of ventures through different avenues and methods, and finally, creation of wealth of nations through enhancing supply of entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship talents. To achieve this, the book covers the following topics: entrepreneurship history and theory, entrepreneur types, responsibilities and roles, entrepreneurial process, business modelling, venture creation and growth management, intellectual property rights protection, service and production ventures, international entrepreneurship, political economy of entrepreneurship, neo-entrepreneurship, and comparative entrepreneurship cultures. Along with nearly 150 illustrations including tables, figures and pictures, and extensive real-world examples, readers will also find useful the hypotheses and matrices such as venture classification matrix, entrepreneurial opportunity diagnostic matrix, i-10 hypothesis, risk-return matrix, business model matrix, venture growth management scheme, intervention process, opportunity identification methods, innovation path, 5-C growth model, social entrepreneurship model, and risk-return-matrix that are newly introduced in the book.

In recent years, there has been a growing awareness that innovation plays the key role in the success and the functioning of organizations. This publication reveals an interdisciplinary dimension, because it addresses the increasing need for sustainable innovation that combines economic, environmental and social elements. Its aim is to present the international exchange of ideas, research results and practical experience in the field broadly understood as innovation, to highlight the importance of innovation management in a competitive, global economy, and to discuss the current problems related to innovation and entrepreneurship. In the economy reliant on innovation of various organizations, cross-sectoral co-operation is of paramount importance. It allows to achieve synergy between entities with diverse resources and competences in generating innovative projects. Originally, analysis of cross-sectoral relations focused on building links between business and science – in particular, the realms of research and development. This is the most obvious system by means of which the economy is fed with innovative concepts and their implementation solutions. Over time, the public sector too has begun to be perceived not only as an entity that creates economic regulations, but also as a real partner in the process of shaping economic development: it provides innovative projects, which are then commercialised in business. Therefore, the role of the public sector is not only to legislate, but also to conduct joint actions with the innovative business sector in order to stimulate local development of innovative projects. This publication will address the so-called triple helix (the most effective process of generating innovation): the system of co-operation between business, science, and government that contributes to the creation of innovative economy.

Professors Baron and Shane pioneered the idea of a process perspective and approaching entrepreneurship through a multidisciplinary lens. The new second edition of ENTREPRENEURSHIP: A PROCESS PERSPECTIVE offers an even more current and comprehensive overview of all things entrepreneurial, delivering an applied and action-oriented presentation that couples solid theory with relevant examples. Teaching entrepreneurship based on the timeline of starting and operating a new business, the book focuses on the entrepreneurial process as it moves through several distinct phases: generating ideas and recognizing opportunities, assembling resources, launching the new venture, building success, and harvesting the rewards. At each stage, the authors analyze these processes along three dimensions, examining individual, group, and societal contexts. This process approach keeps students engaged and thinking about how to apply the principles learned to their own business ideas. Thoroughly updated, the new edition broadens its scope, adding a chapter on legal issues specific to entrepreneurs--including intellectual property considerations--and an appendix on accounting principles important to entrepreneurs. A new chapter on growth strategies for new ventures is partnered with a chapter on managing new ventures for growth. New boxed features shed light on common myths and assumptions about entrepreneurship, and the text now includes cases written for each chapter, along with many other experiential exercises. With its multidisciplinary emphasis, solid theory, countless examples, and overall support package, this text provides everything instructors need to plan an intriguing, thorough, and practical course on entrepreneurship.

This innovative book takes seriously the ordinary activities of entrepreneurship and maps out new pathways for scholars to understand the nature, properties, and implications of studying practices for entrepreneurship studies. Entrepreneurship is neither an art nor a science, but a bundle of practices, as Peter Drucker once observed. Curiously however, academic research on entrepreneurship mostly abstracts away from practical activity. In contrast, Entrepreneurship As Practice takes ordinary activities of entrepreneurship seriously by mapping out new pathways for scholars to consider the everyday practices through which entrepreneurship occurs. Each chapter draws on contemporary theories of practice to illuminate the nature, properties, and implications of studying the practices of entrepreneurship. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal Entrepreneurship & Regional Development.
