Bøker av Zoltan J. Acs

This new and original book by Zoltan Acs explores the relationship between industrial innovation and economic growth at the regional level, and reaches conclusions as to why some regions grow but others decline.

Presenting data from the 2017 Global Entrepreneurship and Development Index (GEDI), which measures the quality and scale of entrepreneurial process from 137 countries world-wide, this book provides a rich understanding of entrepreneurship and a more precise means to measure it.

Provides a comprehensive comparison of the GEM and GEDI approaches by using both methods side by side to analyse entrepreneurship development; and offers the GEM community a useful example on how the GEM and the GEDI methodologies can be successfully combined to allow for a more in-depth country analysis of entrepreneurial performance.

Takes the position that entrepreneurship has an organisational component and involves the creation of new enterprises. Thus, what distinguishes entrepreneurship from innovation is the organisational context.
