Entrepreneurship As Practice

<p>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.</p><p>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 <i>Entrepreneurship As Practice</i> 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. </p><p>The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal <i>Entrepreneurship & Regional Development.</i></p>
