Hardback. Condition: New. This edited collection showcases the evolution of rural entrepreneurship research over the first quarter of the 21st Century. Contributions examine what we have learnt about different aspects of rural entrepreneurship and what still needs to be understood. Each chapter looks for inspiration from the past to consider opportunities and challenges for the future. Critiques of current understandings of the dynamic rural economic landscape acknowledge the need for agility and new ideas to inform future research and policy challenges.The book has been motivated by the growing community of researchers that participate in an annual Rural Entrepreneurship Conference. Further strengthening that community, chapters are co-authored by experienced and early-career scholars, forming new connections that blend past and future perspectives to address prescient challenges facing rural economies. After 20 years of fertilising exchange of ideas between rural stakeholders and academics, this edited collection sets a marker in the timeline of the evolution of an increasingly international network of rural entrepreneurship researchers.…

Hardback. Condition: New. Migration, Mobility and the Creative Class challenges contemporary conceptions of the mobility of the creative worker. Exploring the differences between a range of historical, political, and social contexts, this forward-thinking book contests the validity and logic of policymakers' strategies to attract the creative class, and emphasises the need for a reassessment of the plans employed for local and regional development.Drawing on detailed biographical life-course information obtained through in-depth interviews with creative workers, this book refutes established ideas that creative workers are a unique, autonomous and highly mobile group. Documenting empirical findings, it highlights how the migration and occupation patterns of creative workers are intimately connected with their early family experiences and to their social class. Ultimately, this innovative book recommends that policy should redirect its focus away from migration and towards creating places with good schools, affordable housing, sustainable jobs and strong connections across communities.Pairing in-depth case studies with established theoretical grounding, this book will be a fascinating read for academics, researchers and students specialising in economic geography, regional economics, migration and human geography. Its unique insights and practical policy recommendations will also be of benefit to those working in town planning, regional policy development and the creative industries.…

Hardback. Condition: New. This insightful book examines the factors shaping the success of entrepreneurial ecosystems. While policymakers and academics are attracted to the potential of entrepreneurship for fostering growth and regional development, the mechanisms and processes that drive thriving ecosystems remain insufficiently understood. This book provides new perspectives on how the geographical and relational boundaries of an entrepreneurial ecosystem are located and defined.Drawing on interviews with entrepreneurs and key stakeholders, chapters challenge conventional thought and highlight nuanced understandings of the interconnected factors shaping the development and success of entrepreneurial ecosystems. These include the spatial dimension, people and processes, and entrepreneurs' experiences and perceptions. The authors stress the importance of relational ties and introduce the novel concept of 'Ecosystem Development Work' facilitated by key ecosystem enablers.An essential resource for students and academics in entrepreneurship, development studies, economics and business, Developing Entrepreneurial Ecosystems also provides practical recommendations for policymakers at local, regional and national levels.…
