This book sheds light on one of the biggest development issues of our
time: how the rise of entrepreneurship and the associated mindset is
likely to unfold in unexpected places and change socio-economic and
political fortunes. Focusing on the Balkan Peninsula, the authors
explore the early success of young entrepreneurial ecosystems in the
region and highlight the dangers of direct comparison with more mature
entrepreneurial centres. Offering fresh insights, this brand new book
presents an analytical overview of the entrepreneurial domain that
enabled Bulgaria to become the start-up capital of the Balkans. With
empirical data gathered from over 80 interviews and case studies, the
authors address the needs of decision-makers and managers in many
countries which are on the path towards nurturing entrepreneurial
ecosystems.
