Abstract
The Handbook of Research on Energy Entrepreneurship is a snapshot representing our most current understanding of the most important facets of energy entrepreneurship research. As global resource and climate challenges continue to make headlines, there is a significant increase across the curriculum in energy entrepreneurship. This emerging domain is set to have a significant and lasting impact on the scholarly agenda in entrepreneurship research in the way that information technology and biotechnology
have: as a context from which to test existing theory, and a platform from which to develop new insights.
This volume serves as an introduction to this domain, filling an important gap in the publication stream for scholars, instructors, investors, and policymakers seeking insight into the latest thinking in this emerging, dynamic field. The authors' list represents those who have inaugurated this research as well as those that are pushing it forward, and has been planned to guide, inform, and provoke.
The book opens with a thorough survey of energy entrepreneurship as a research field; conceptual, theoretical and geographic aspects are explored, and its pioneers revisited. The focus then shifts to
specific aspects of energy entrepreneurship. Two sections investigate the respective roles of energy entrepreneurship in start-ups and large incumbent firms. A fourth section looks
at commercialization of energy innovation, including entrepreneurial marketing. Section five turns to aspects of financing entrepreneurial firms and energy innovation. The final section investigates the interface between public policy and energy entrepreneurship.
Across the different sections, the book provides a variety of insights on theoretical, conceptual and methodological approaches that may be fruitfully applied to the emerging research field on energy entrepreneurship. We expect that this Handbook will prove to be
an invaluable reference tool for academics and practitioners with an interest in policy, business management, innovation, entrepreneurship, and the financing of new and growth-oriented energy firms
