With particular respect to investigating the development, acquisition, and dissemination of entrepreneurial skills and behaviors, the authors focus on the university environment, as a locus of research and innovation, where students are exposed to a wide variety of influences that are enhanced by a high degree of connectivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe underlying theme of this volume is to develop our understanding of the sociology of student entrepreneurial behavior and in doing so attempt to synthesize literature investigating individual talent with the literature on concurrent knowledge sourcing in the pursuit of entrepreneurial activities. Specifically, the authors investigate the degree to which access to diverse knowledge (in addition to such psychological characteristics and tolerance of ambiguity and risk taking) influences the nature and probability of entrepreneurial success. Moreover, they explore the role of social media and social networking in facilitating access to distributed and disparate information and knowledge.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Their research addresses such timely questions as:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhere do entrepreneurial opportunities come from? \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow can higher education best stimulate the creation of firms emanating from young and smart minds in colleges and universities? \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat is the value of MOOCs for frequent, early, and “thick” communication among the various specialties needed to accomplish entrepreneurial projects? \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow do we know whether social media affect students’ responses to new knowledge and new ideas?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo what extent do educational practices affect racial and ethnic differences in student entrepreneurship? \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat is the role of the indigenousminority student entrepreneur in establishing high-technology firms? \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is a multi-dimensional approach that sheds light on the dynamics of education, knowledge creation, social networking, innovation and new business development.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-09-17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319376509\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-05567-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 146\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46544985129100,"sku":"9783319376509","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319376509.jpg?v=1772895344","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319376509","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
