Abstract

In this chapter, we review in greater depth the core concepts being expressed in this book: entrepreneurship, growth, growth entrepreneurship, and high growth, from both a research and a policy perspective. We do this to show that these concepts are conceptualized very differently depending on which perspective we adopt as researchers, policy makers, or even as investors. There are, of course other perspectives, like the popular media and that of the man on the street. These are also important, but are to some degree different. We focus here on the perspectives of researchers and policy makers because we know these two perspectives best. We also argue that much of the complexities and the confusion in the general public and media can be explained by looking at these.
