The Future of Entrepreneurship: Concept and Context

Kristin Wallevik

Chapter 2 in Entrepreneurial Challenges in the 21st Century, 2015, pp 12-23 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Entrepreneurship is seen as a very important part of a sustainable and long-term economic growth at all levels: individual, firm, regional, national and at the international level. During recent decades, a large number of studies have been conducted on various levels using different approaches, with the aim of developing a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms affecting entrepreneurship. Many terms have been generated, with the result that there are a variety of concepts within this field of research. However, there seems to be no common definition of entrepreneurship. This gap creates the need to analyze entrepreneur-ship in each specific context to understand: what entrepreneurship is, who the entrepreneur is, where entrepreneurship happens, why entrepreneurship is important, and how one can nurture entrepreneurship.
