Types & Roles of Entrepreneurship

Types & Roles of Entrepreneurship
We study the various roles that different types of entrepreneurs play in economy and so-ciety. We will do so by connecting to the so-called entrepreneurial ecosystem approach. In particular, for a selection of entrepreneurial types, we review empirical literature deal-ing with prevalence, characteristics, determinants as well as economic and societal con-tributions.
