Entrepreneurship in Context Routledge Studies in Entrepreneurship EDITED BY JAY MITRA (Essex University, UK) & ZOLTAN ACS (George Mason University, USA) This series extends the meaning and scope of entrepreneurship by capturing new research and enquiry on economic, social, cultural and personal value creation. Entrepreneurship as value creation represents the endeavours of innovative people and organisations in creative environments that open up opportunities for developing new products, new services, new fi rms and new forms of policy making in different environments seeking sustainable economic growth and social development.
