Justice, David B. Audretsch1st ed. 2020.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2020.1 online resource (301 pages)The Urban Book Series,2365-75883-030-15163-8 Demography -- Incentives -- Urban Design -- Education -- Collaborative Governance.This book attempts to advance critical knowledge and practices for fostering a variety of entrepreneurship at a city level. The book aims to connect scholarship and policy practice in two disciplines: Urban Studies and Entrepreneurship. The book has included contributions from developed, emerging, and developing countries. The chapters are clubbed under five main sections; I. Startups and Entrepreneurial Opportunities, II. Knowledge Spillover, III. Social and Bureaucratic Entrepreneurialism, IV. Demography and Informal Entrepreneurs V. Perspectives from Emerging and Developing Economies. In this regard, the book explores a number of questions, such as: what are the important varieties of entrepreneurship, how can they be observed and measured, and how does each variety emerge and operate under various conditions of infrastructure and opportunity? Which type(s) of entrepreneurship should a city prefer? What can cities do to stimulate desirable forms of entrepreneurship or is it more of a spontaneous phenomenon? Why do policies that enhance entrepreneurship in some contexts seem instead to promote crony capitalism and rent-seeking in other contexts? Should cities focus on growing their own entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial enterprises or on luring them from other cities and countries? How can a collective action in a city promote (or hinder) entrepreneurship? The contributions in the present volume address head-on these questions at the intersection of urban studies, economic theory, and the practicalities of economic development and urban governance, in a genuinely global range of places and applications.The Urban Book Series,2365-7588Sociology, UrbanEntrepreneurshipNew business enterprisesPolitical scienceEconomicsSociological aspectsEducation and stateTechnological innovationsUrban SociologyEntrepreneurshipPolitical ScienceEconomic SociologyEducation PolicyInnovation and Technology ManagementSociology, Urban.Entrepreneurship.New business enterprises.Political science.EconomicsSociological aspects.Education and state.Technological innovations.Urban Sociology.Entrepreneurship.Political Science.Economic Sociology.Education Policy.Innovation and Technology Management.307.1416352.793Iftikhar Muhammad Naveededthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtJustice Jonathan Bedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtAudretsch David Bedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910366633303321Urban Studies and Entrepreneurship2179931UNINA
