A place-led perspective of entrepreneurial development is gaining significant importance in the context of narratives surrounding entrepreneurial ecosystems, contexts, and the design of entrepreneurial institutions. In a world where we recognize the entrepreneurial means, ends, and values in terms of meaningful locations, this latest volume in Contemporary Issues in Entrepreneurship Research delves into the phenomenon of "Entrepreneurial Place Leadership."

Defining "Entrepreneurial Place Leadership" as the creation, maintenance, exploitation, and amplification of locations with entrepreneurial meaning to generate future value, this edited collection explores how entrepreneurs lead in a complex entrepreneurial landscape. Leading international scholars serve as guides through a diverse terrain of individual dwellings, communities, and planned settlements.

Topics covered in this book include:

An exploration of entrepreneurial responsibility to place in rural Nova Scotia.
An analysis of culture in Entrepreneurial Support Organisations in Spain.
A discussion of entrepreneurial policy implementation in Italy.
The introduction of a tool for managing a complex solution ecosystem in Australia.

Each chapter reflects upon the contribution of the authors' research to academic theory and offers policy and practice recommendations, making this book a valuable resource for academics, students, and entrepreneurial place leaders.

Contemporary Issues in Entrepreneurship Research is an official book series of the Institute for Small Business and Entrepreneurship (ISBE). Each volume is designed around a specific theme of importance to the entrepreneurship and small business community, with articles collectively exploring and developing theory and practice in the field.
