Entrepreneurship and Local Economic Development cover

Entrepreneurship and Local Economic Development delves into the current thinking on local entrepreneurship development programs and evaluates ways in which practitioners can implement successful entrepreneurship practices. Examining the role and potential for entrepreneurship programs in local economic development strategies, contributors to this edited collection have many years of experience working with entrerpreneurship initiatives in state and local governments. Focused on theory and case study, Entrepreneurship and Local Economic Development examines conceptual issues involved in creating entrepreneurship programs as well as practical examples of programs organized by state, regional, and local agencies.

Interest in entrepreneurship has exploded in recent years. Communities are establishing new support systems, financial tools and education programs to promote entrepreneurship. Yet we know very little about the outcomes and impacts of these programs. This excellent book brings together researchers and practitioners to summarize what we know about entrepreneurship programs and to summarize best practices in this field. This book should be useful for researchers, practitioners, and local officials interested in this topic. There is no other source that provides such a broad and useful account of entrepreneurship. -- Gary Paul Green, University of Wisconsin-Madison
