Conclusions. 330 $aThis book details qualitative research focusing on Internet startups, digital entrepreneurship, race and sex discrimination, and the sharing economy. Addressing the intersections between issues of gender, age, ethnicity and class, the author interviews startup founders, including many husband and wife teams, in order to understand the working and private lives of digital entrepreneurs in and from Taiwan who utilise Internet and mobile technologies, against a backdrop of the country's political, social and economic history. It investigates contemporary debates about entrepreneurship as they are experienced by new generations of start-uppers who challenge existing social and cultural norms by becoming creative workers and embracing the precarity that exists in the volatile digital economy. 410 0$aDynamics of Virtual Work,$x2947-9304 606 $aIndustrial sociology 606 $aSex 606 $aMass media 606 $aDigital media 606 $aEntrepreneurship 606 $aNew business enterprises 606 $aSociology of Work 606 $aGender Studies 606 $aMedia Sociology 606 $aDigital and New Media 606 $aEntrepreneurship 615 0$aIndustrial sociology. 615 0$aSex. 615 0$aMass media. 615 0$aDigital media. 615 0$aEntrepreneurship. 615 0$aNew business enterprises. 615 14$aSociology of Work. 615 24$aGender Studies. 615 24$aMedia Sociology. 615 24$aDigital and New Media. 615 24$aEntrepreneurship. 676 $a338.951249 700 $aLeung$b Wing-Fai$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01063707 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337715503321 996 $aDigital Entrepreneurship, Gender and Intersectionality$92534105 997 $aUNINA
