Family Entrepreneurship
Family business is the most prominent form of business organization, and its importance to the global economy cannot be under-estimated. Until recently, the impact of the family on entrepreneurial firms has been under-researched, leading to a conceptual gap between the two areas of study, and an underestimation of the contribution of family systems to entrepreneurial success. Starting from the consideration that family is an intimate and essential aspect of entrepreneurship, this book considers connections between family, family members, entrepreneurial behavior, family business, society and the economy. Bringing together a unique range of international contributions, it offers new theoretical perspectives and empirical insights as well as an in-depth consideration of the diversity of contexts and processes associated with entrepreneurship in family settings. Above all, this book opens up a comprehensive research agenda on the linkages between family, family firms and entrepreneurship and will be of interest to researchers, educators and advanced students of entrepreneurship, small firms and family business.

Challenging Entrepreneurship Research
The growth of entrepreneurship research has been accompanied by an increased convergence and institutionalization of the field. In many ways this is of course positive, but it also represents how the field has become "mainstream" with the concomitant risk that individual scholars become embedded in a culture and incentive system that emphasizes and rewards incremental research questions, while reducing the incentives for scholars to conduct challenging research. This book challenges this status quo from accepted theories, methodologies and paradigmatic assumptions, to the relevance (or lack of) for contemporary practice and the impact of key journals on scholars’ directions in entrepreneurship research. An invited selection of the younger generation of scholars within the field of entrepreneurship research adopt a critical and constructive posture on what has been achieved in entrepreneurship research, the main assumptions which underly it, but also open-up new paths for creative entrepreneurship research in the future. This is a must-read for all scholars, educators and advanced students in entrepreneurship research.
Critical Perspectives on Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship is largely considered to be a positive force, driving venture creation and economic growth. Critical Perspectives on Entrepreneurship questions the accepted norms and dominant assumptions of scholarship on the matter, and reveals how they can actually obscure important questions of identity, ideology and inequality. The book’s distinguished authors and editors explore how entrepreneurship study can privilege certain forms of economic action, whilst labelling other, more collective forms of organization and exchange as problematic. Demystifying the archetypal vision of the white, male entrepreneur, this book gives voice to other entrepreneurial subjectivities and engages with the tensions, paradoxes and ambiguities at the heart of the topic. This challenging collection seeks to further the momentum for alternate analyses of the field, and to promote the growing voice of critical entrepreneurship studies. It is a useful tool for researchers, advanced students and policy-makers.
AIFI 54/2023
Il Technology Transfer, inteso come il processo che permette di rendere accessibili conoscenze, tec-nologie, nuovi saperi dall’ambito della ricerca e dei centri universitari al mercato, ha nel tempo trova-to una sempre più ampia diffusione in Europa e nelle economie più avanzate con un beneficio diffuso a vantaggio di tutta la collettività. In Italia il fenomeno è più recente e ancora in evoluzione con un ampio potenziale inespresso che inizia in questi anni una fase più evoluta e sofisticata che sta consentendo di raggiungere i primi risultati significativi e molto incoraggianti, garantendo all’Italia e al suo patrimonio di ricercatori e imprenditori di giocare un ruolo di primo piano in questo ambito. L’elaborato è un lavoro corale di approfondimento del tema che fornisce una mappatura degli attori e della loro operatività, ponendo anche a confronto il modello italiano con le best practice in-ternazionali. A completamento del lavoro, sono rappresentati nel dettaglio alcuni interessanti casi di successo e illustrate le aree chiave di intervento per uno sviluppo organico del settore in Italia.
