Research Handbook of Critical Entrepreneurship Studies

This comprehensive Research Handbook challenges familiar success stories and polished narratives, advancing Critical Entrepreneurship Studies by asking bold questions about entrepreneurship as a social and economic phenomenon. Spanning diverse themes and perspectives, it maps contemporary debates, emerging ideas and future directions for the field of Critical Entrepreneurship Studies. Leading academics provide novel conceptual tools and empirical insights that expand how entrepreneurship can be studied, understood and taught. Proposing a reorientation of entrepreneurial scholarship, chapters analyse key themes, including class elements of immigrant entrepreneurship, online harassment, public policy priorities and instances where entrepreneurship becomes a transgressive practice. Exploring decolonialism, marginalisation, organisation creation and alternative futures, the Research Handbook invites readers to question, rethink, and rediscover entrepreneurship in all its complexity. The Research Handbook of Critical Entrepreneurship Studies is an invaluable resource for scholars and students of business, management, organisation and entrepreneurial studies. Policymakers and practitioners will also benefit from its critical proposals and in-depth scope.
