Entrepreneurship in Regional Communities Exploring the Relevance of Embeddedness, Networking, Empowerment and Communitarian Values

Entrepreneurship in Regional Communities “Their book should be on the reading list of scholars, executives, and policy makers seeking to understand the value of doing of entrepreneurship in regional communities in Australia and the influence of gender. This is more important now that there are more people working remotely and the capacity to deliver goods and success digitally dramatically improved as a result of the COVID crisis. The approach taken by the authors draws on theory and data, emphasising the enactment of place-based entrepreneurship in the bioregions.” —Ms. Kate Carnell, Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman “Entrepreneurship is a challenging experience for anyone, but for business owner-operators based in regional and remote areas, it can be particularly demanding. Despite this, many intrepid entrepreneurs successfully launch and scale their business ventures, overcoming the tyranny of distance, inadequate infrastructure and isolation. This new book ‘Entrepreneurship in Regional Communities’ by A/Professor Sujana Adapa, Professor Alison Sheridan and Dr Subba Reddy Yarram from the University of New England (UNE) Business School, offers a unique insight into the theory and practice of regional entrepreneurship. It draws on international research literature to help explain the evolution of such businesses within the Australian regional context. The book is a valuable addition to the library of any student, practitioner or government policy maker interested in enhancing economic and social development in regional areas through the entrepreneurial process.” —Professor Tim Mazzarol, University of Western Australia; Director, Centre for Entrepreneurial Management and Innovation (CEMI); Director, Commercialisation Studies Centre (CSC)
