Interdisciplinarity in Entrepreneurship

In response to the increasing move by scholars to reference other fields of knowledge in the advancement of entrepreneurship studies, this book offers an interdisciplinary approach to the study of entrepreneurship.

The author investigates five main issues about entrepreneurial processes:the origin of entrepreneurship, the purpose to achieve, the way decisions are made, the creation of entrepreneurial networks and ecosystems. Respectively, these issues are analysed from new perspectives related to other disciplines, such as mythology, philosophy, mathematics, chemistry, and biology. In this way, the book investigates pervading questions about entrepreneurial processes that are still unsolved. By adopting this novel interdisciplinary approach, the book opens up new avenues of research in entrepreneurship studies.

To advance entrepreneurship studies, this book suggests an interdisciplinary approach Analyses the main issues about entrepreneurial processes from new perspectives related to other fields of knowledge Provides readers with an alternative perspective on a range of pressing issues and debates
