Description
Book SynopsisThis
Handbook brings together pioneering, original work on organisational entrepreneurship. It provides a broad coverage and rich agenda for future research and teaching on the entrepreneurship-organisation relationship.
Organizational entrepreneurship represents an interdisciplinary field of research that relates organisation, entrepreneurship and innovation studies in new ways. This Handbook establishes the scope of this interdisciplinary domain, challenges our perception of relationships between organization(s) and entrepreneurship, and asks new questions central to our capacity to describe, analyze and understand organizational entrepreneurship.
Providing a broad and rich set of examples of interdisciplinary research and bridging the fields of strategic management, organization studies, entrepreneurship, innovation, art and aesthetics, this important compendium will prove invaluable to graduate students and scholars in these fields.

Trade ReviewDaniel Hjorth is justifiably famous for thinking differently about those things ''we all know'', and this
Handbook adds fuel to that fire. The
Handbook reasserts the intellectual and practical primacy of organizational creation as the driving force of entrepreneurship. By getting some of the best minds in entrepreneurship to explore and speculate on the organizational aspects of entrepreneurship, this
Handbook reframes and repositions entrepreneurship as the organizing trope for the postindustrial age.
