Description
Summary:Starting with the question of what systematic peculiarities in the behavior of executives and entrepreneurs need consideration, this book provides a new theoretical perspective for entrepreneurial analysis, evaluation, decision-making, and action. Various theories of complex systems, such as the theory of self-organisation (synergetics), are outlined and applied to entrepreneurial phenomena and contexts. Additionally, methodological approaches for empirically investigating complexity and the resulting potentials for researching entrepreneurship processes are discussed. Overall, it suggests that traditional models like the Laplacean worldview or Kant's question of what we can know need reconsideration. This book poses intriguing questions and offers surprising answers, particularly revealing new opportunities and possibilities in complex processes like starting a business. The second expanded and updated edition strengthens the focus on entrepreneurship as the book's main theme. It includes new and current examples from the real world of start-ups and businesses, as well as empirical data to illustrate model analysis. The Author: Prof. Dr. Andreas Liening holds the chair of "Entrepreneurship and Economic Education" at the Faculty of Business and Economics at the Technical University of Dortmund and heads the "Centre of Complexity Sciences & Entrepreneurship Education."
