This series extends the meaning and scope of entrepreneurship by capturing new research
and enquiry on economic, social, cultural and personal value creation. Entrepreneurship
as value creation represents the endeavours of innovative people and organisations

new services, new fi rms and new forms of policy making in different environments
seeking sustainable economic growth and social development. In setting this objective
the series includes books which cover a diverse range of conceptual, empirical and
scholarly topics that both inform the fi eld and push the boundaries of entrepreneurship.
