Synopsis
Entrepreneurship in emerging economies and developing countries presents us with a unique set of working attitudes, modes of thinking, social practices and processes. This book explores these characteristics, focusing on the conceptualization of entrepreneurship 'in-between'. It highlights top-down, bottom-up and hybrid initiatives as well as driving forces for entrepreneurial activities, presenting the diversity, nuances and multiplicity of facets of relevant but unexplored contexts that we need in order to expand our dominant and traditional understandings of entrepreneurship. This book examines entrepreneurship as a contextualized phenomenon from different theoretical and empirical perspectives, gathering a group of researchers with different nationalities, backgrounds and contexts to shed light on how societies with alternative paths of development trigger different entrepreneurial activities and practices. It covers geographical contexts from four continents in a novel and multifaceted analysis. Including case studies, literature reviews and discourse analysis, this book will be a valuable resource for academics and PhD students as well as programme directors in entrepreneurship, development studies and economic geography, and policy makers working with local and regional development and entrepreneurship.

'It is time to acknowledge the difficult environment of entrepreneurs in the developing world without falling into the trap of undue pessimism by acknowledging the amazing resilience and ingenuity of those 450 million individuals participating in start-ups and new ventures in the world. This is what these highly international contributors to the book do and, therefore, the book is immensely helpful.' --(Michael Frese, NUS Business School, Singapore)
