ABSTRACT

This conclusion chapter summarizes the key insights from the 11 chapters (cases) included within the book. It highlights the main theoretical and practical implications that are derived from each case. These aim at expanding the theory building and application endeavors of entrepreneurship and management scholars and students. These also provide useful best practices and propositions to entrepreneurs, small business managers, educators, ecosystem builders, and policymakers. In addition, the narrative of this chapter positions the arguments and discussions of the novel entrepreneurial examples portrayed throughout this book at the forefront of the intersections between entrepreneurship theory, practice, and policymaking. Consequently, this conclusion chapter advocates for a practice-oriented approach to entrepreneurship research.
