Richard Fairchild (EDT) Entrepreneurship

Annotation

In this book, the authors draw together some leading international research (both theoretical and empirical) that analyzes economic and behavioural issues surrounding entrepreneurial incentives, performance and risk. The book begins with a conceptual theoretical analysis of firm development, taking into account its interaction with the four principal factor markets. Furthermore, conflicts at the managerial level are considered. The remaining chapters analyze empirically some of the behavioural/psychological/demographic factors affecting entrepreneurship. In summary, this book draws on international research to provide insights into the economic and behavioural factors affecting entrepreneurial incentives, risk-taking and performance.
