Features: This book presents the essence of the research outcomes from the "First National Conference on Entrepreneurship and Entrepreneurial Spirit Education" in China. Scholars and experts have tracked the latest developments in global entrepreneurship theory and practice, explored various management issues in the growth process of enterprises, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and investigated methods and measures for reforming management education in China. The book reflects the latest advancements in international entrepreneurship research and practice while also showcasing the new research findings in China's entrepreneurial practices. The "Fundamental Research on Entrepreneurship" section introduces cutting-edge issues in international entrepreneurship research, such as the boundaries of entrepreneurship theory, corporate entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial orientation, and social entrepreneurship. The "Entrepreneurial Growth" section discusses the cultivation of innovative spirit among entrepreneurs during China's economic transition. The "Entrepreneurship Clusters" section focuses on entrepreneurial phenomena in cluster environments. The "Entrepreneurial Financing" and "Entrepreneurial Mechanisms" sections address practical issues that people are concerned about in the entrepreneurial process. The "Family Business" section explores the entrepreneurship and development of family businesses. The final theme is "Entrepreneurship Education." The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor 2002 China Report shows that China's entrepreneurial environment is relatively poor, and improving the training and education level of entrepreneurship is a crucial way to enhance the environment. Therefore, it is of great significance to learn from advanced teaching concepts abroad and explore teaching content and methods suitable for China's entrepreneurial practices.
