The ISBE-Emerald Book Series aims to provide a platform for leading edge research that reflects themes of interest to contemporary entrepreneurship scholars. The volumes within the series are proposed and edited by established scholars within the international ISBE membership, and contributions are peer reviewed by experts in their respective fields. This third volume in the series, Enterprising Places: Leadership and Governance Networks, which is edited by Lee Pugalis and Joyce Liddle, draws together contemporary research contributions that seek to critically explore a range of issues relating to place, leadership and governance. Accordingly, the chapters in this volume consider the various styles of leadership and governance patterns that combine as entrepreneurial synergies in place. Within this overarching theme, the volume contributors explore topics as diverse as history, economics, rurality, food networks, state strategies, informal settlements and wealth creation, across a range of geographical settings. As the volume editors offer their insightful critique, they draw our attention to the critical nature of place and its impact on entrepreneurship, thus furthering understanding in this area.
We are grateful to Lee Pugalis and Joyce Liddle, and their author team, for compiling this exciting third volume. We also appreciate the support provided by the teams at Emerald Publishing and ISBE’s London office in helping to promote this important series. In keeping with the objectives of series, this volume constitutes a body of peer reviewed contemporary research chapters that will engage our growing ISBE community globally. We look forward to presenting further texts within the series in the near future.
