Once relegated to the dusty shelves of ancient muses, research and scholarship on entrepreneurship has exploded as a field of research, with impactful additions from a range of disciplines rendering the field a tricky one to traverse. The Routledge Companion to the Makers of Modern Entrepreneurship offers a comprehensive guide to entrepreneurship, providing an authoritative exploration of the key people and their ideas. This book tells the stories of the scholars who have set the standard and tone for thinking and analysing entrepreneurship.
Edited by two of the world’s leading entrepreneurship scholars, this comprehensive volume offers a platform for understanding and future research that is both state-of-the-art and authoritative. It expands on how modern entrepreneurship has developed, with a focus on the key "makers" of the field – including theories, such as social psychology; concepts, such as neuroeconomics; and types, such as political entrepreneurship.
The contributions to the collection are grouped into three sections:
- Emergence of Entrepreneurship Research
- Theories in Modern Entrepreneurship
- Concepts and Makers in Modern Entrepreneurship
This companion is essential reading for students and academics interested in entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial management and business management.
'Instead of presenting new research findings in entrepreneurship, this new book provides interesting stories about many of the luminary scholars in the field of entrepreneurship. Their intellectual and academic journeys are interesting and shed light on how entrepreneurship emerged as a genuine cross-disciplinary field of research.' - Robert Fairlie, Professor, University of California, Santa Cruz, USA
'The autobiographical essays in this unique book reveal the passions and motivations of the scholars whose works created the surge in entrepreneurship research, and it provides an essential history of the thinkers and their thoughts' - John T. Scott, Professor of Economics, Dartmouth College, USA
'This book is an extraordinary guide to the mysterious world of entrepreneurship. It is an attempt at defining a non-disciplinary area, born like a new country with blurred boundaries open to continuous contamination. Exploring entrepreneurship is often finding something that is necessary but never sufficient to define it. Despite this, a new community has grown around it. This book presents a cultural challenge (not only to academia) that will fit our agenda in the decades to come.' - Stefano Paleari, Full Professor of Finance, University of Bergamo, Italy
