Psychological Foundations of The Entrepreneurial Mindset : Edward Elgar Publishing : 9781788977340 : 1788977343 : 06 Feb 2024 : Highlighting three decades of key research and emphasizing the psychological processes that characterize us all, Psychological Foundations of The Entrepreneurial Mindset moves away from the traditional focus on the entrepreneurial ecosystem to provide a novel investigation at the level of the individuals themselves. Identifying important questions including: Does the entrepreneur have a strong vision? Can the person execute successfully? and how will he or she recover if the business encounters setbacks?
