ENTREPRENEURSHIP, INNOVATION AND REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT is unique in that it addresses the central factors in economic development - new venture creation, product and process development, firm formation, institutional change and organizational learning - as regional phenomena.

This definitive text focuses on different types of organizations to illustrate the value of entrepreneurship and innovation both for businesses and for regional development. Establishing a firm link between entrepreneurship, innovation and economic regeneration, the book also examines the factors contributing to their success.

Replete with international case studies, empirical evidence of concepts and self-assessment questions, this is an ideal text to support postgraduate teaching and research related to entrepreneurship, innovation management and regional economic development.
