| Entrepreneurship has gained remarkable global prominence in recent years. Importantly, scholarly and societal attention have moved beyond a traditional focus on the economic significance of new venture creation towards a consideration of "entrepreneurship in action" – evoking the potential for entrepreneurial activity to bring about diverse types of socio-economic change. This symposium brings together a range of perspectives from scholars studying the enactment of entrepreneurship across a variety of unconventional contexts (including the Canadian sex industry, French banlieues, rural Tanzanian villages, and tech entrepreneurship in Kenya). The combined works further our understanding of how global entrepreneurship ideals are enacted in local settings, and the extent to which entrepreneurial activity contributes (or not) to individual, field-level, and socio-economic development. |
