About this book

Entrepreneurial Economics is concerned with the role of entrepreneurs, and the nature and scope of entrepreneurship in the economy. It broadly covers a range of economic and non-economic theories of the characteristics and behaviour of entrepreneurs. Also considered are government policies to increase the number of entrepreneurs in the economy and social entrepreneurship linked to economic development. It includes illustrations of successful entrepreneurs and more detailed case-studies.
