Defining Entrepreneurial Place Leadership in terms of how locations with entrepreneurial meaning are created, maintained, exploited, and amplified to generate future value, this edited collection considers how entrepreneurs lead in a complex entrepreneurial landscape. Leading international scholars act as guides through a heterogeneous landscape of individual dwellings, communities, and planned settlements.
Topics include: an exploration of entrepreneurial responsibility to place in rural Nova Scotia; an analysis of culture in Entrepreneurial Support Organisations in Spain; a discussion of entrepreneurial implementation of policy in Italy; and the introduction of a tool for managing a complex solution ecosystem in Australia. Each chapter reflects upon the contribution of the author’s research to academic theory and makes policy and practice recommendations – as such this book is a useful resource for academics, students, and entrepreneurial place leaders.
