This book moves beyond mainstream approaches and assumptions which are dominating the field, and raises questions about the nature and process of entrepreneurship research. It¿s designed to take a critical and constructive posture, yet at times controversial and encourages a re-examination of the way we look at the social and economic phenomenon of entrepreneurship.
Family business is the most widely found form of business organization, with enormous importance to the global economy. Yet the contribution of family systems to entrepreneurial success and the key role of the family, has been underexplored. Including contributions from Richard Harrison, Sara Carter, Alisdair Anderson and Freiderike Welter amongst others, it explores the diversity of contexts and processes associated with entrepreneurship in family setting, and develops a new research agenda on the linkages between family, family firms and entrepreneurship.
Critical Perspectives on Entrepreneurship questions the accepted norms and dominant assumptions of entrepreneurship scholarship. It explores how entrepreneurship study tends to privilege certain forms of economic action, while implying other more collective forms of organization and exchange are somehow problematic. Deconstructing assumptions and providing space for alternative visions, this book engages openly with the contradictions, and tensions at the heart of entrepreneurship. It will be of interest to entrepreneurship researchers, advanced students and policy-makers as well as scholars of critical management studies.
This book adopts a reflexive approach to entrepreneurship research, challenging readers to question their approaches and assumptions and explicitly defend them against competing alternatives. Building on this critical reflection, this book provides space for philosophical reflexivity in the conduct and publication of scholarly enquiry and will be of great interest to scholars, researchers and advanced students in all aspect of entrepreneurship study.
