How do the different contexts influence the founding and development of companies? Why is it helpful to go beyond the actor-centred perspective in entrepreneurship research? What methodical approaches exist to understand and analyse the different contexts of entrepreneurship? The special edition "The Interplay of Context and Entrepreneurship: The New Frontier for Contextualisation Research" of Small Business Economics answers these and other questions.
Together with internationally renowned entrepreneurship researchers, Prof. Dr Dr h.c. Friederike Welter (IfM Bonn/ University of Siegen) has initiated the special edition and wrote the introductory article.
