Tourism and Entrepreneurship: International Perspectives provides an innovative, interdisciplinary approach. This book takes, as its central theme, the role of entrepreneurship in the context of regional, local and national tourism development. By engaging with top academics in both tourism and entrepreneurship, this book delivers a cohesive, interdisciplinary examination of the most recent developments in both tourism and entrepreneurship. Several key themes are explored and articulated through the following concepts and issues: tourism, innovation and entrepreneurship; the role and nature of individual and collective entrepreneurship in different contexts; the role of tourism in responding to development opportunities created by global forces and, finally, issues associated with tourism strategies and policies. Divided into four parts, the book reflects on the most relevant areas of tourism entrepreneurship:understanding the conceptual basis of tourism entrepreneurshipcreative use of entrepreneurship and processes of social innovationtourism entrepreneurship mediating the global-local dividesectoral strategies and policy issues of tourism entrepreneurship.Tourism and Entrepreneurship: International Perspectives also:explains the impact of tourism entrepreneurship on places and overall regional and destination developmentexamines the role of the public sector in facilitating the need for sustainable tourism developmentexamines the effects and implications of funding schemes and support programmestakes the owner, manager and entrepreneur as the starting point of analysis to explore specific issuesallows practitioners and policy-makers to explore practical applications and best practice of theory through a diverse range of international case studiescontributed to by an international team of leading scholars in tourism and entrepreneurshipThis book is a unique combination of theory, case studies and discussion highlighting the importance of entrepreneurial tourism activity for economic success.

Michael Porter is recognized as one of the top authorities on corporate strategy and business competition. The historical review of strategic management clearly shows that Porter’s research has bridged up two general paradigms (before and after the 1980s) thus helping both researchers and practitioners to better understand unanticipated global changes. His two generic strategies: costs and diversification, the two interdependent strategic options, are key in the context of the competitiveness of orthodox microeconomic theory. This is where Porter went further, constructing a popular value chain concept that provides the ability to disaggregate the key activities of business process in creating products and services in terms of cost analysis and value creation. This book is a collection of seven interconnected chapters that provides a coherent understanding of Michael Porter’s contribution to the field of strategic management. It addresses key changes and challenges in the global business environment. The value chain concept has become highly applicable in both theory and practice. In the book, the authors offer an original interpretation of the Porters’ research on strategic management in order to unravel or simplify his key theoretical concepts. It will be of interest to researchers, academics, practitioners, and students in the fields of strategic management and international business.
