Beskrivning

This timely book presents new perspectives from global experts in entrepreneurship, innovation and regional economic development. Bringing together diverse perspectives, Eleanor Hamilton, Rhiannon Pugh and Danny Soetanto integrate research, practice and policy to develop new ideas and propose innovative learning models.Raising questions about the need to rethink the conceptual frameworks of regional development in a changing world, chapters underscore the importance of spatial, social, institutional and societal contexts, and the challenges of inequalities. They assess how learning shapes entrepreneurial ecosystems, examining the role of universities in regional development. The book features real-world examples and case studies illustrating policy implementation in different regions and provides personal reflections from the authors on their experiences working across regional and national governance boundaries. By encouraging transdisciplinary dialogue, the authors promote collaboration aimed at developing entrepreneurial solutions for more equitable and resilient regional economies.Thought-provoking and forward-thinking, this is an essential resource for scholars and practitioners in entrepreneurship, innovation and economic geography. It is also a valuable tool for policymakers, think tanks, research institutions and other organizations seeking to gain actionable insights for regional development.

Recensioner i media

‘This is a book everyone should read to better understand how entrepreneurship and regional development intersect. By embracing an interdisciplinary approach, the authors provide a much-needed reframing of the role of entrepreneurship in fostering local growth, highlighting ongoing inequalities, disparities, and learning gaps in areas of economic development. To effectively tackle these issues, mechanisms such as universities and business support organizations are critically reassessed to develop policy recommendations grounded in solid theoretical foundations.’
