Strategic Entrepreneurship

Abstract

This edited volume on strategic entrepreneurship embraces well-timed topics as diverse as a proposed contextual strategic entrepreneurship model of development, the fourth industrial revolution and HRM, the informal enterprises, under-theorized aspects of social entrepreneurship strategies, the concept of time in strategy formulation, corporate entrepreneurship strategy and internationalization, complexity theory and its application to entrepreneurship and administration, strategic usage of crowdfunding platforms in modern businesses, technology-based entrepreneurship, strategic views to the current turbulent markets, women-led entrepreneurial firms and finally strategic entrepreneurial succession for family businesses. Through each single topic the authors, who are experts in the theme they picked, have tried to unfold an emerging aspect in strategic entrepreneurship which could benefit not only the academic readers but also the entrepreneurship practitioners on the ground.
