This book argues that the study of entrepreneurs as leaders is a gap in both the leadership and the entrepreneurship literatures. The impact of leaders is a crucial factor in the success or failure of smaller entrepreneurial firms and has implications for our understanding of new venture viability and growth. Featuring conceptual and empirical chapters from a wide range of cultures and entrepreneurship and leadership ecosystems, this Research Handbook is the first of its kind to present a systematic overview of the entrepreneurial leadership field, providing a state-of-the-art perspective and highlighting unanswered questions and opportunities for further research. It consolidates existing theory development, stimulates new conceptual thinking and includes path-breaking empirical explorations. With its international perspective illustrating the practice of entrepreneurial leadership in a wide range of organizational contexts, the Research Handbook on Entrepreneurship and Leadership offers an essential reference to students and researchers in entrepreneurship and leadership alike. 410 0$aResearch handbooks in business and management series. 606 $aImprenditorialità$2BNCF 676 $a658.421 702 $aHARRISON,$bRichard T. 702 $aLEITCH,$bClaire M. 912 $a996314249303316 951 $aP08 2774$b542 DISA 959 $aBK 969 $aDISTRA 996 $aResearch handbook on entrepreneurship and leadership$91568230 997 $aUNISA
