The Research Handbook on Entrepreneurship and Diversity provides a critical and comprehensive exploration of the three key facets of diversity in entrepreneurship: diversity of entrepreneurs, diversity of entrepreneurial contexts and diversity of entrepreneurial practices.

A leading group of international contributors challenges the dominant Western-centric, high-growth, tech-driven entrepreneurship narrative by showcasing the multifaceted realities of entrepreneurship across different social, economic and institutional settings. The book examines how individual dimensions of diversity - including gender, ethnicity, migration status or sexual orientation - shape entrepreneurial experiences and opportunities. It also emphasises how social, spatial and institutional environments influence entrepreneurship, particularly for marginalised and minoritised groups. Furthermore, it explores the diversity of entrepreneurial practices, strategies and ambitions, illustrating how entrepreneurs innovate and adapt within their specific environments.

Integrating superdiversity, intersectionality and relational perspectives, this volume offers fresh insights for students, researchers, policymakers and practitioners seeking to understand and advance inclusive entrepreneurship and equitable economic development in today's globalised world.
