Entrepreneurial Complexity: Methods and Applications deals with theoretical and practical results of Entrepreneurial Sciences and Management (ESM), emphasising qualitative and quantitative methods. ESM has been a modern and exciting research field in which methods from various disciplines have been applied. However, the existing body of literature lacks the proper use of mathematical and formal models; individuals who perform research in this broad interdisciplinary area have been trained differently. In particular, they are not used to solving business-oriented problems mathematically. This book utilises formal techniques in ESM as an advantage for developing theories and models which are falsifiable.
Features
Discusses methods for defining and measuring complexity in entrepreneurial sciences
Summarises new technologies and innovation-based techniques in entrepreneurial sciences
Outlines new formal methods and complexity-models for entrepreneurship
To date no book has been dedicated exclusively to use formal models in Entrepreneurial Sciences and Management
