Navigating Entrepreneurial Contexts highlights the critical importance of understanding and adapting entrepreneurship to the diverse contexts in which businesses operate. The heterogeneity of the topics covered in this book reflects the richness of theories and methods employed in this interdisciplinary field of study.

A team of expert contributors explore the nuanced interplay between entrepreneurship and context, illustrating how entrepreneurs not only shape and construct their contexts but also the lenses through which researchers scrutinise this relationship. Authors argue that this leads to the discovery of hidden aspects crucial for advancing entrepreneurship studies. Chapters delve into contextual factors that drive entrepreneurs to shape and adapt to their environments, with authors employing a range of methods such as case studies, surveys, and theoretical and conceptual models.

This book is an essential resource for academics, researchers and students of business and management, entrepreneurship and the economics of entrepreneurship. Business professionals will also find this to be an indispensable guide due to the text’s practical implications.
