Entrepreneurship and Small Firms by David Deakins
Provides an analysis of entrepreneurship as an essential aspect of the modern economy and grounds theoretical perspectives in the reality that entrepreneurs face in their day-to-day decision-making. The text begins with an assessment as to whether there exists an entrepreneurial personality. The traditional view that entrepreneurs have certain personality characteristics is contrasted with the more dynamic view that entrepreneurial skills and attitudes are acquired within a process that is itself subject to analysis. Similarly, the question as to whether there exists growth-oriented small firms with identifiable characteristics is developed later in the text.Professor David Deakins is an honorary researcher at the Department of Entrepreneurship and Strategy, Lancaster University Management School, Lancaster University, and Adjunct Professor, School of Management, Massey University in New Zealand. He has over 30 years' experience of research with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and entrepreneurs. He returned to the United Kingdom (UK) in 2014 after retiring from Massey University. Whilst at Massey, he led various research projects undertaken for the New Zealand Government on SMEs, including regulation, internationalization and innovation. He also completed consultancy and research projects for the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) body and for the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
