Synopsis

Entrepreneurs act in environments of great risk and high uncertainty, and as a result, failure is a common occurrence. For this volume, Professor Shepherd has made a judicious selection of published articles, which explore the antecedents to and potential outcomes of entrepreneurial failure. By understanding these causes and consequences, entrepreneurs may become better able to manage failure, to reduce its costs and to capitalize on its benefits. With an insightful original introduction by the editor, the book provides an authoritative guide to current scholarly debate in this topical area and lays a foundation for future study.

About this title

Review:

‘In the desert of success-inclined literature on entrepreneurship, this book is an oasis. . . The book is highly relevant for those interested in failure as a topic of research and as a general reference for entrepreneurship researchers at large. Every section with a few selected papers presents an area of research by itself. . . I thoroughly enjoyed reading through the volume and hope to keep digging back into it when I get my hands muddy with research on entrepreneurial failure.’ Author: Raj K. Shankar, The Journal of Entrepreneurship
