(EDT), ISBN 1783473754, ISBN-13 9781783473755, Brand New, Free shipping in the USMost leadership research has been undertaken in corporate contexts and little attention has been given to leadership development in entrepreneurial and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This book argues that the study of entrepreneurs as leaders is a gap in both the leadership and the entrepreneurship literatures. The impact of leaders is a crucial factor in the success or failure of smaller entrepreneurial firms and has implications for our understanding of new venture viability and growth.<p><p>Featuring conceptual and empirical chapters from a wide range of cultures and entrepreneurship and leadership ecosystems, this <i>Research Handbook</i> is the first of its kind to present a systematic overview of the entrepreneurial leadership field, providing a state-of-the-art perspective and highlighting unanswered questions and opportunities for further research. It consolidates existing theory development, stimulates new conceptual thinking and includes path-breaking empirical explorations.<p>With its international perspective illustrating the practice of entrepreneurial leadership in a wide range of organizational contexts, the <i>Research Handbook on Entrepreneurship and Leadership</i> offers an essential reference to students and researchers in entrepreneurship and leadership alike.<p><b>Contributors:</b> A.
