Diversity and Entrepreneurship

This edited volume is amongst the first to discuss entrepreneurship in the context of minorities and the role they play in society, including LGBT, Indigenous and disadvantaged communities. It provides a holistic, comprehensive overview of how diversity in entrepreneurship facilitates increased levels of innovation.

Whilst there has been an increased interest in minorities and their contribution to society, the literature on minorities and under-represented communities is still weak. This edited volume discusses entrepreneurship in the context of minorities and the role they play in society.

The book looks at under-represented communities such as LGBTQ+, disadvantaged, ethnic minority, religious entrepreneurs, medically limited, indigenous, refugees, young/old and other socio-economic segments. It provides a holistic, comprehensive overview of how diversity in entrepreneurship facilitates increased levels of innovation. The book will be amongst the first to take a broad perspective of minority entrepreneurs.
