About this book

This book emphasises that entrepreneurship is a social activity that takes place within and among organizational systems rather than as an individual activity. A comprehensive view of entrepreneurship as an organizational phenomenon is provided and new theory building and empirical chapters are supplemented by previously published work updated to reflect current developments.
