Entrepreneurship in theory and practice

Theories of entrepreneurship are surrounded by tensions and dilemmas, which this book presents as a collection of paradoxes. This challenges the understanding of entrepreneurship and offers the reader an insight into the paradoxical nature of the theories. At the same time, the paradoxes reflect the uncertainty and complexity that the entrepreneurs are confronted with in their everyday life.

The book challenges the reader to be critical and to take a stand on many of the situations in which the entrepreneurs are involved on their entrepreneurial journey – situations which are often characterized by dilemmas and mystery.
