Multiple Faces of Entrepreneurship

This multifaceted book explores entrepreneurship in its many forms: as necessity and opportunity, individual ambition and collective effort, self-employment, venture growth, and renewal. It investigates both the productive and problematic sides of entrepreneurship, from empowerment and inclusion to exploitation, precarity, and inequality.Moving beyond narrow assumptions of entrepreneurship as a high-growth, profit-driven, or heroic activity, the book foregrounds the plurality of entrepreneurial practices as they unfold across diverse social, cultural, economic, and institutional settings. From everyday entrepreneurs sustaining livelihoods to larger-scale ventures pursuing innovation and accelerated growth, expert authors examine entrepreneurship as a situated phenomenon shaped by context, power, aspiration, constraint, and possibility. Beyond profitability: It considers how entrepreneurial endeavours engage with sustainability, social value, ethical responsibility, and alternative measures of success.This book is a valuable resource for scholars and students of business, entrepreneurship, and management studies.
