Encyclopedia of Entrepreneurship

This book provides a comprehensive study about Entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship vastly affects the economic development of a nation. Predictably many public policies encourage the growth of self- entrepreneurship during periods of unemployment; admire the formation of firms; and view the enthusiasm to start new ventures as a sign of fine fortune. Is this nature inherent to humans and their psychology or can students or even adults be trained to become entrepreneurs? What should be the role of institutions of higher education of strategy makers and how much does it affect a nation? This book answers all the above stated questions through the research work presented within the book. There is a special focus on certain aspects which include psychology role of academics and economic impact of entrepreneurship.
