Entrepreneurship and the Creation of Organization

By re-imagining, re-thinking, and re-writing entrepreneurship, this book develops a process theory of entrepreneurship by exploring how key concepts in such a theory - affect, desire, assemblage - allow us to think about entrepreneurship differently.
