Abstract

Although of undisputed importance for practice and regional policy, community-based entrepreneurship, when it comes to the literature, has only developed slowly over the course of almost forty years. In this chapter, we review the work done, comment on developments, present a definition of the concept, and outline some directions and future opportunities for enhancing the accumulation of more specialized knowledge. The chapter concludes that community-based entrepreneurship research has an important relationship with the development of social entrepreneurship research, but that it has a unique set of own characteristics. We conclude by presenting a list of themes based upon previous research that have the potential to facilitate further knowledge-building.
