The Boundaries of Innovation and Entrepreneurship

It is commonly accepted that innovation and entrepreneurship are essential ingredients for a company's long-term success. However, both fields have been treated within different scientific disciplines for many years.

Alexander Brem presents a comprehensive overview of the theoretical background and recent models in the context of innovation and entrepreneurship. Based on a process-oriented innovation-entrepreneurship framework, the author investigates the integration of market pull and technology push activities in the innovation process. He introduces a model of innovation management in emerging technology ventures, researches gender-related differences in founding intentions, and discusses the time-to-market dilemma as well as the role of serial entrepreneurs in the business foundation process. Thus, the complete cycle from the early phases of innovation to serial entrepreneurship is covered.
