- About this book
-
This book examines the nexus between the entrepreneur, the firm, and the region for drawing a comprehensive picture of entrepreneurship in a developing country context. It emphasizes the role of the spatial location in simultaneously determining the occupational choice at an individual level and the nature of new firm start-ups emerging in a region. In doing so, the author provides a novel approach to examining entrepreneurship in emerging economies. Using large-scale databases from India, the book offers fresh insights for shaping public policy in developing countries that aim to pursue entrepreneurship led growth.
