Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Economic Crisis: Lessons for Research, Policy and Practice
Entrepreneurship,
Innovation and Economic Crisis: Lessons for Research, Policy and
Practice by Klaus Rüdiger, Marta Peris-Ortiz and Alicia Blanco Gonzáaez
This book looks at entrepreneurship and innovation as ways out of the
economic crisis in Europe and other regions, and examines the main
theoretical issues and practices related to this analysis. The volume
addresses such questions as: From an institutional perspective, how do
economic crisis conditions affect different types of entrepreneurs and
entrepreneurship? Is it useful for public policymakers and entrepreneurs
to understand the basic characteristics of entrepreneurial activity,
relations between the institutional environment and entrepreneurship and
among entrepreneurship, innovation and social change? Featuring case
studies from several industries and countries, and a variety of
methodological, theoretical, and empirical approaches, the authors build
a compelling narrative on the dynamics of entrepreneurship and
innovation as drivers of economic growth and organizational renewal.
They demonstrate that the strategic and operational relationships that
entrepreneurship creates within and outside the enterprise are a
fundamental route for leading and mobilizing economic and social
resources that permit innovation at the organizational level and in
relationships with suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders - in
turn, enabling technological innovation, creating new revenue streams
through new productive activities and new demand, and ultimately
facilitating emergence from economic crisis. The authors consider
social, gender, and generational aspects of entrepreneurship, as well as
the institutional conditions necessary to promote entrepreneurial
activity.
