About this title

Synopsis

Entrepreneurial Complexity: Methods and Applications deals with theoretical and practical results of Entrepreneurial Sciences and Management (ESM), emphasising qualitative and quantitative methods. ESM has been a modern and exciting research field in which methods from various disciplines have been applied. However, the existing body of literature lacks the proper use of mathematical and formal models; individuals who perform research in this broad interdisciplinary area have been trained differently. In particular, they are not used to solving business-oriented problems mathematically. This book utilises formal techniques in ESM as an advantage for developing theories and models which are falsifiable.

Features

• Discusses methods for defining and measuring complexity in entrepreneurial sciences
• Summarises new technologies and innovation-based techniques in entrepreneurial sciences
• Outlines new formal methods and complexity-models for entrepreneurship
• To date no book has been dedicated exclusively to use formal models in Entrepreneurial Sciences and Management
