Description
High Impact Entrepreneurship studies the actions of individuals who respond to market opportunities by bringing inventions to market that create wealth and growth. Foundations of High Impact Entrepreneurship is the first survey of the theoretical literature on high impact entrepreneurship. Foundations of High Impact Entrepreneurship examines: the question "why do people choose to become entrepreneurs" from the perspective of labor market theories on occupational choice; the role of entrepreneurship and innovation, paying particular attention to the various modes of available entrepreneurial activity; the financing of entrepreneurial firms: the resources to them and the issues and limitations associated with various financing options. Foundations of High Impact Entrepreneurship closes with a discussion of the policies that theory suggests will enhance entrepreneurial activity and where researchers should focus their efforts.
