Publisher's Synopsis
External Enablement of Entrepreneurial Actions and Outcomes illustrates the broad relevance and applicability of the External Enablement phenomenon, concept, and framework. The monograph describes at length the definition and meaning of external enabler/enablement and the main elements of the External Enablement Framework (EEF): characteristics, mechanisms, and roles. The monograph also reviews the growing scholarship that is evolving around these conceptualizations and provides ideas for future applications in research and practice. Later sections outline possible future research directions. There are two appendices providing a summary review of the EE articles published to date and answers to frequently asked questions about the EEF.
