Entrepreneurship in emerging economies and developing countries presents us with a unique set of working attitudes modes of thinking social practices and processes. This book explores these characteristics focusing on the conceptualization of entrepreneurship in between. It highlights top down bottom up and hybrid initiatives as well as driving forces for entrepreneurial activities presenting the diversity nuances and multiplicity of facets of relevant but unexplored contexts that we need in order to expand our dominant and traditional understandings of entrepreneurship. This book examines entrepreneurship as a contextualized phenomenon from different theoretical and empirical perspectives gathering a group of researchers with different nationalities backgrounds and contexts to shed light on how societies with alternative paths of development trigger different entrepreneurial activities and practices. It covers geographical contexts from five continents in a novel and multifaceted analysis. Including case studies literature reviews and discourse analysis this book will be a valuable resource for academics and PhD students as well as programme directors in entrepreneurship development studies and economic geography and policymakers working with local and regional development and entrepreneurship
