Routledge Entrepreneurial Profiles and Behaviour: Characteristics, Processes, and Decision-Making (Research on Entrepreneurship Processes, Innovation, and Startup Enterprises)

This book examines the evolution from studying isolated entrepreneurial traits to defining comprehensive entrepreneurial profiles. It explores three innovative profiles―the Human, Harmonic, and sapiens entrepreneur―and provides a groundbreaking comparative analysis of their distinctive approaches to entrepreneurship processes and decision-making. This edited collection offers a thorough investigation of how these profiles shape entrepreneurial behavior, featuring detailed theoretical frameworks, practical applications, and forward-looking perspectives. Readers will gain valuable insights into how these emerging entrepreneurial identities respond to contemporary challenges while preparing for future developments in business and society. The collaborative approach among scholars with different perspectives creates a unique intellectual dialogue that advances entrepreneurship theory. This volume is essential reading for experienced researchers seeking cutting-edge developments in entrepreneurship studies, early-career academics establishing research trajectories, and graduate students in entrepreneurship, management, and business ethics programs. It will particularly appeal to those interested in the intersection of entrepreneurial identity, decision-making processes, and sustainable business practices.
