Ulteriori informazioni

In recent years there has been increased focus on understanding the dynamic relationships among entrepreneurship, policymaking and economic growth. At the heart of research, debate and practical application is the question: "Under what conditions can entrepreneurship flourish?" And the corollary: "To what degree does encouraging entrepreneurship result in economic growth?" A popular response is to argue for "entrepreneurship policy"-that is, targeted policies that are designed to promote innovation, entrepreneurship, and small business creation. To the editors and contributors of this volume, that approach is fundamentally flawed. They argue that there is no such thing as a discrete entrepreneurship policy; instead, there is only policymaking in the context of an entrepreneurial economy. The book addresses policies operating at the individual, national, regional, and international levels, and offers a unique perspective on several institutional structures that enhance entrepreneurship and economic growth.

Riassunto

In recent years there has been increased focus on understanding the dynamic relationships among entrepreneurship, policymaking and economic growth. At the heart of research, debate and practical application is the question: “Under what conditions can entrepreneurship flourish?” And the corollary: “To what degree does encouraging entrepreneurship result in economic growth?” A popular response is to argue for “entrepreneurship policy”—that is, targeted policies that are designed to promote innovation, entrepreneurship, and small business creation. To the editors and contributors of this volume, that approach is fundamentally flawed. They argue that there is no such thing as a discrete entrepreneurship policy; instead, there is only policymaking in the context of an entrepreneurial economy. The book addresses policies operating at the individual, national, regional, and international levels, and offers a unique perspective on several institutional structures that enhance entrepreneurship and economic growth.

Testo aggiuntivo

From the reviews:

“Acs and Stough’s collection of essays … adopts a narrower view and focuses on the relationships between entrepreneurship, economic growth and public policy. The central thesis that provides the recurring theme throughout the book posits that … policy-makers should focus on creating an environment that is conducive to entrepreneurship. … The collection also discusses the thesis from a variety of thematic angles. … it is worth reading for scholars and students interested in entrepreneurship, economic development and public policy.” (Teemu Kautonen and Ewald Kibler, International Small Business Journal, Vol. 28 (1), 2010)
