The chapters demonstrate several dimensions of the entrepreneurial processes, such as imagination, innovation, calculated risk taking, alertness to opportunities, opportunity identification, as well as resource assemblage and leverage to exploit an opportunity - all in a criminal context. Illegal methods used by entrepreneurs to identify solutions to problems that lead to the generation of business opportunities are illustrated. Moreover, methods used by criminal entrepreneurs to circumvent barriers to the entrepreneurial process and business developments are highlighted. Issues relating to the formation of crimino-entrepreneurial ventures are critically discussed. Emerging issues relating to illegal corporate entrepreneurship are illustrated. 410 0$aContemporary issues in entrepreneurship research ;$vv. 5. 606 $aBusiness & Economics$xEntrepreneurship$2bisacsh 606 $aEntrepreneurship$2bicssc 606 $aOrganized crime 606 $aEntrepreneurship 606 $aBusiness enterprises$xCorrupt practices 615 7$aBusiness & Economics$xEntrepreneurship. 615 7$aEntrepreneurship. 615 0$aOrganized crime. 615 0$aEntrepreneurship. 615 0$aBusiness enterprises$xCorrupt practices. 676 $a364.04199999999997 701 $aMcElwee$b Gerard$0782626 701 $aSmith$b Robert$083022 712 02$aInstitute for Small Business and Entrepreneurship (Great Britain) 801 0$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797256603321 996 $aExploring criminal and illegal enterprise$93857406 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02919oam 2200697I 450 001 9910170985203321 005 20251116142422.0 010 $a9781134998029 010 $a1134998023 010 $a9781134998036 010 $a1134998031 010 $a9781280327681 010 $a1280327685 010 $a9780203161739 010 $a0203161734 024 7 $a10.4324/9780203161739 035 $a(CKB)111056485245242 035 $a(EBL)179636 035 $a(OCoLC)437082224 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000177710 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11922940 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000177710 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10218734 035 $a(PQKB)10544752 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL179636 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10060900 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL32768 035 $a(OCoLC)252792060 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC179636 035 $a(EXLCZ)99111056485245242 100 $a20180331d1990 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aIn praise of sociology /$fGordon Marshall 205 $a1st ed. 210 1$aLondon ;$aBoston :$cUnwin Hyman,$d1990. 215 $a1 online resource (275 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 08$a9780415754934 311 08$a0415754933 311 08$a9780044456872 311 08$a0044456875 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aBook Cover; Title; Contents; Acknowledgements page; The theme; Social class and social mobility; Education and culture; Poverty in an affluent society; Managing the new technology; Workers and their wages; Race and housing in the inner city; The rise and fall of the mods; Sociologists and scientologists; On the social origins of clinical depression; Families and social networks; A conclusion; Further reading; Index 330 $aIn this lively and entertaining book, Gordon Marshall explores ten classic studies of British society to demonstrate the valuable qualities of British sociology, and its importance for understanding contemporary society.
