Foundations of Entrepreneurship and Economic Development (Routledge Foundations of the Market Economy) [Hardcover]

David A Harper (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 16, 2003 | ISBN-10: 0415153425 | ISBN-13: 978-0415153423 | Edition: 1

This well-written book is the first to deal with entrepreneurship in all its aspects. It considers the economic, psychological, political, legal and cultural dimensions of entrepreneurship from a market-process perspective. David A Harper has produced a volume that analyses why some people are quicker than others in discovering profit opportunities. Importantly, the book also covers the issue of how cultural value systems orient entrepreneurial vision and, in contrast to conventional wisdom, the book argues that individualist cultural values are not categorically superior to group oriented values in terms of their consequences for entrepreneurial discovery.
