Entrepreneurship and Context

Friederike Welter, President and Managing Director, Institut für Mittelstandsforschung (IfM) Bonn and Professor, University of Siegen, Germany

'Tracking her own learning trajectory, Friederike Welter launches an exciting odyssey through an archipelago of understandings of entrepreneurship in context. The starting point of this highly dramatic voyage is a reformed Eastern Europe, where traditions and institutions were radically challenged. As a consultant and researcher, Friederike Welter's further field experiences are refined into conceptual contributions ranging across contextual themes widely relevant for entrepreneurship research, such as gender, space and diversity.'--Bengt Johannisson, Linnaeus University, Sweden'Friederike Welter is one of the leading international scholars of entrepreneurship and SMEs. This collection of her work spanning the last twenty years illustrates how far the entrepreneurship research field has evolved and Friederike's critical role in shifting the field away from homo economicus towards a more inclusive and comprehensive understanding that contextualises entrepreneurial actions and valorises everyday entrepreneurship.'--Sara Carter OBE, Strathclyde Business School, UK
