European entrepreneurship research and practice : a multifaceted effort towards integration of different perspectives

• The time of publishing this research volume marks the tenth anniversary of the Strategic Interest Group (SIG) Entrepreneurship of the European Academy of Management (EURAM). After various back-office formation efforts in 2010 (see Lundberg, 2014: vii-xiv for more details), the SIG Entrepreneurship was founded and launched in 2011 with a dedicated symposium, and had its first full scale operations in 2012. This new SIG Entrepreneurship acknowledges the growing interest in entrepreneurship as a major knowledge domain with high practical and political relevance. With its contrasting perspective of value and venture creation, entrepreneurship both complements and challenges traditional management research in its research topics as well as its methodological approaches.Rather than dictating topics and trends, the SIG Entrepreneurship has pursued since its beginning in 2010 a bottom-up approach by letting its active members determine the research foci, which are captured each year anew in the conference tracks of the EURAM annual meeting. The growth of the SIG Entrepreneurship is the result of the strong commitment of its current and all past SIG officers – the editors of this research volume – to promote entrepreneurship as a strong an innovative field of research with a broad spectrum of socially and politically relevant themes, which can be addressed through a variety of modern methodological approaches. This approach has resulted in attracting ever and ever more members devoted to share their research results, to develop networking activities together, and to be actively involved in the management of the SIG. We are proud to say that after 10 years, Entrepreneurship is the SIG featuring the most research contributions at the annual EURAM conference in Dublin 2020.To emphasize and promote the diversity of innovative research topics, as well as the multiple nationalities of the researchers representing the SIG Entrepreneurship, we decided in 2014 to publish our first research volume on “entrepreneurship as a working attitude, as a mode of thinking and an everyday practice.” With the growing diversity of the field and our SIG, we see today the necessity of a renewed snapshot of what is currently going on within the European entrepreneurship research community. Accordingly, our second volume on “European Entrepreneurship Research and Practice” carries the representative subtitle “A Multifaceted Effort Towards Integration of Different Perspectives.” In the subsequent chapters, we are very fortunate and proud to present eight innovative contributions by researchers of our SIG. By promoting these advances in entrepreneurship, we wish to invite, in particular, young entrepreneurship researchers from Europe and all over the world to join our SIG and contribute to a distinct European perspective of entrepreneurship research, practice, and policy.
