This book offers a unique insight into the theory and practice of regional entrepreneurship drawing upon international, national, and local contexts and literature. The growing importance of the service sector to the local economies is highlighted and further complemented with lived experiences of start-up founders and owner-managers of nascent, established growing and established plateaued firms in the bioregions of Northern Inland New South Wales. Authors find that the doing of regional entrepreneurship relies on place-based entrepreneurial ecosystems, embeddedness to the region, value added business networks, unwavering empowerment, and strong communitarian values. This book presents important theoretical, practical and policy implications to foster economic and social development in regional areas through the entrepreneurial process.
