Taylor & Francis Ltd Gendered Capitalism Seeing and Seizing
Book SynopsisThis book provides an understanding of opportunity recognition' as a catalyst and crux of the entrepreneurial process. Grounded in research, it introduces the key concepts at the heart of entrepreneurship theory and practice and demonstrates how entrepreneurship differs from management in language, priorities and practice.The book's central framework is mapped around seeing and seizing opportunities', where the entrepreneur enters a situation, eventually sees an opportunity and takes it through a process of idea development into an actionable entrepreneurial initiative. This captures the book's four core elements: person(s), environment, opportunity and process. The Entrepreneurial Process is unique in its explanation of how key concepts are related and how they can be applied practically to business models, plans and action. Case studies from real-life organizations, reflective questions and short exercises throughout encourage student learning and enable true engagemTrade Review"Nils Nilsson offers a thoughtful and thorough exploration of the nature of entrepreneurship from both a theoretical and practical foundation of insights and observations. The book is particularly strong in its focus on critical entrepreneurial practices that lead to viable and sustainable businesses that provide economic and social value. This book will be very useful for anyone interested in gaining practical skills and abilities for how the future is created." William B. Gartner, Bertarelli Foundation Distinguished Professor of Family Entrepreneurship, Babson College, USA"An insightful, interesting, and highly readable book. To start with the entrepreneurial history of ideas and the concept of ‘the entrepreneurial economy’ is powerful and makes sense, even in a book with the ambition to support entrepreneurial action. The emphasis on ‘the opportunity’ as the centre of gravity is also welcome. Together this, and the conversational tone, makes the book stand out positively."Magnus Aronsson, Managing director, ESBRI, SwedenTable of Contents1. The Rise, Fall and Return of the Entrepreneur 2.

Taylor & Francis The Handbook of Neoliberalism
Book SynopsisNeoliberalism is easily one of the most powerful concepts to emerge within the social sciences in the last two decades, and the number of scholars who write about this dynamic and unfolding process of socio-spatial transformation is astonishing. Even more surprising though is that there has, until now, not been an attempt to provide a wide-ranging volume that engages with the multiple registers in which neoliberalism has evolved.The Handbook of Neoliberalism seeks to offer a wide-ranging overview of the phenomenon of neoliberalism by examining a number of ways that it has been theorized, promoted, critiqued, and put into practice in a variety of geographical locations and institutional frameworks. With contributions from over 50 leadingauthors working at institutions around the world, the volumeâs seven sections provide a systematic overview of neoliberalismâs origins, political implications, social tensions, knowledge productions, spaces, natures and environments, and aftermaths in addressing ongoing and emerging debates. The volume aims to provide the first comprehensive overview of the field and to advance the established and emergent debates in a field that has grown exponentially over the past two decades, coinciding with the meteoric rise of neoliberalism as a hegemonic ideology, state form, policy and program, and governmentality. It includes a substantive introductory chapter and will serve as an invaluable resource for undergraduates, graduate students, and professional scholars alike.Trade Review'This extraordinary collection offers a comprehensive review of neoliberalism. It answers all questions you may have about neoliberalization including those you might be afraid to pose. A must read for all those who believe that a different world must be possible.'Erik Swyngedouw, MAE, Professor of Geography, School of Education, Environment and Development, Manchester University, UK'Providing a comprehensive introduction to one of the most contentious terms in contemporary social science, this multi-disciplinary handbook draws together established scholars and new contributors. Collectively these authors offer an extraordinarily wide range of debates and perspectives, making this a landmark contribution to the field.' Wendy Larner, Provost and Professor of Human Geography, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand'This is the most wide-ranging and multi-perspectival overview of neoliberalism available. The book is a true treasure trove where graduate students can find countless ideas for designing original research projects.'Henk Overbeek, Professor Emeritus of International Relations, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Netherlands"‘Neoliberalism is a slippery concept, meaning different things to different people’ (p. 1). Springer, Birch and MacLeavy’s excellently edited volume starts its mission with this nailing definition. Neoliberalism has become one of the concepts that one cannot avoid mentioning in analysing a recent development in social sciences. It is safe to argue that neoliberalism is now a term that is overly used even in partly overlapping and partly contradictory ways (Ferguson 2010: 166). There is not any easy way of defining what neoliberalism is. Is it a state form, or a policy, or a version of governmentality, or an ideology? Or simply, is it an epistemology? Perhaps, because of this nuisance, no scholar has attempted tTable of ContentsPart I Origins Part 2 Political Implications Part 3 Social Tensions Part 4 Knowledge Productions Part 5 Spaces Part 6 Natures and Environments Part 7 Aftermaths

Taylor & Francis Ltd Models of Simon
Book SynopsisHerbert Simon (1916-2001) is mostly celebrated for the theory of bounded rationality and satisficing. This book of essays on Models of Simon tackles these topics that the he broached in a professional career spanning more than 60 years. Expository material on the fundamental concepts he introduced are re-interpreted in terms of the theory of computability. This volume frames the behavioural issues of concern for economists, such as: hierarchy, causality, near-diagonal linear dynamical systems, discovery, the contrasts between the notion of heuristics, and the Church-Turing Thesis of Computability Theory. There is, consistently, an emphasis on the historical origins of the concepts Simon worked with, in emphasising Human Problem Solving and Decision Making â by rational individuals and institutions (like Organizations). The main feature of the results in the book are its emphasis on the procedural aspects of human problem solving, decision makinTable of Contents1. Introduction, 2. Herbert Simon: a life, 3.
