Unfolding Cluster Evolution
Various theories have been put forward as to why business and industry develops in clusters and despite good work being carried out on path dependence and dynamics, this is still very much an emerging topic in the social sciences. To date, no overarching theoretical framework has been developed to show how clusters evolve. Unfolding Cluster Evolution aims to address this gap by presenting theoretical and empirical research on the geography of innovation. This contributed volume seeks to shed light on the understanding of clusters and its dynamic evolution. The book provides evidence to suggest that traditional perspectives from evolutionary economic geography need to be wedded to management thinking in order to reach this point. Bringing together thinking from a range of disciplines and countries across Europe, this book explores a wide range of topics from the capability approach, to network dynamics, to multinational corporations, to firm entry and exit and social capital. This book will be of interest to policy makers and students of urban studies, economic geography, and planning and development.

Entrepreneurial Processes in a Changing Economy will prove invaluable for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students of entrepreneurship and small business. Entrepreneurship and small business researchers and policy makers will also find plenty of relevant information in this important resource.
Buenas prácticas en docencia y política universitarias
Durante décadas, el profesor universitario ha sido valorado y considerado a tenor de sus logros como investigador, ocultando, y a veces olvidando, sus méritos docentes. Esta faceta, sin embargo, se nos revela como fundamental cuando pulsamos la opinión de los estudiantes. Una de las consecuencias de la entrada en el EEES es rescatar la relevancia de la docencia universitaria a todos los niveles: grado, máster y doctorado. La docencia es un acto de entrega, basado en la mutua confianza y el diálogo libre, veraz y reflexivo entre sus dos actores básicos: el docente y el aprendiz. Aquel docente que es capaz de obtener la mejor formación de cada uno de sus estudiantes, que fomenta un apre...
Investigaciones, métodos y análisis del turismo
Si algo caracteriza al fenómeno turístico es su multidimensionalidad. Y una consecuencia inmediata de esas múltiples posiciones que pueden adoptarse sobre el fenómeno turístico cuando se aborda su estudio es, precisamente, su complejidad. Una complejidad que, en estos últimos años, ha sido enfrentada, primero, con diversas técnicas y métodos heurísticos fundados en supuestos importados de otras disciplinas para, después, pasar a la especialización de las herramientas de estudio en la temática turística. De un enfoque unidisciplinar y centrado en la rentabilidad a corto plazo, se ha evolucionado hacia una visión holística, multidisciplinar y abierta, que engloba las múltiples...

Stakeholder Management and Entrepreneurship in Africa
Building on past research in the broad field of stakeholder management and entrepreneurship, this book pushes a new agenda for more effective stakeholder engagement and management in entrepreneurial firms in Africa. Adomako, Gyensare, and Ahsan provide a novel lens for entrepreneurs to manage stakeholders in Africa and a sense of current best practices. Issues discussed include how external stakeholders such as government, nongovernmental organizations, media, civil society organizations, and local institutions influence the core business operations of entrepreneurial firms. The book confronts the central challenge of entrepreneurship by providing a comprehensive understanding of how entrepreneurs could identify, select, enroll, and coordinate stakeholders. In addition, it assesses issues such as stakeholder influence on corporate social responsibility strategy, sustainability, and environmental management of entrepreneurial firms. An essential read for postgraduate students, researchers, and public and private analysts.

Social Capital
If relationships are the foundation on which social capital is built, then individuals are the stars at the centre of the construct. From there, the linkages are made to either bond or bridge individuals in an interconnected fashion. As connections form, the depth and breadth of ones social capital changes, this may prompt a shift in perspective that offers new and unique illuminations or experiences. This collection is illustrative of that growth in social capitalism as the contributions represent a range of disciplines, methodologies, samples of diverse backgrounds, and conclusions.
