The entrepreneurship dynamic

Publisher's description: This volume uses the perspective of organization studies to answer two major questions about entrepreneurship: First, what are the conditions that prompt the founding of large numbers of new organizations or entirely new industries? Second, what are the real and important effects of such entrepreneurial activities on existing industries, economies, and societies? The contributors explore the mental models that founders of new companies bring with them from previous experiences, the genesis of their ideas not only from the companies in which they work but from the surrounding organizational communities, and the importance of local and regional dynamics in nurturing innovative communities. The second part of the book explores the role of entrepreneurial activity in the transformation of contexts and the evolution of industries, focusing on the processes entrepreneurs use to legitimate new organizational populations, and the collateral industries that build up around such populations, aiding the development of new companies.
