Book Description

Identities can potentially serve as powerful elements that both drive, and are shaped by, entrepreneurial actions. Entrepreneurial identity is a complex construct with multidisciplinary roots, and therefore there is scope to more fully enrich our theoretical understanding of identity and identity formation, at both individual and organizational levels, and their relationship to entrepreneurial processes, practices and activities. This book highlights two key features of contemporary research on entrepreneurial identity. First, to see it as a dynamic rather than a (relatively) fixed and unchanging feature, shaped by different life episodes. It is increasingly fluid, multilevel and multidimensional, comprising multiple subidentities rather than a univocal (and unchanging) self. As such, it has a profound effect not only on the way we feel, think and behave, but also on what we aim to achieve. Accordingly, it is vital that its dynamics are better understood, particularly in determining how actors behave in an entrepreneurial context. The book’s second focus is on identity work as the process through which entrepreneurial identities are formed and shaped, and the contributors demonstrate how the dynamics of identity formation relate to entrepreneurial outcomes in a range of individual and organizational contexts. This book was originally published as a special issue of Entrepreneurship & Regional Development.

Book Description

Marcus Tempus is a writer based in Chicago and he had written a book about Chocolate and how some women preferred it to Sex called "Do not get between a Woman and her Chocolate". In doing the research for the book he had met Anastasia and they had agreed to go on a "Journey of Joy," and maybe fall in love. The book covers their travel experiences to Greece, Paris, London, Ireland, Marrakech and Malaysia. The travel writing is believed to be accurate and the places mentioned real. The fictional part of the book relates to the relationship that develops between Marcus and Anastasia as they become closer during their travels. A background theme is developed with Marcus who had recently fallen in love and it had changed his life. The relationship had not developed as he would have liked so he had sought the help of some spiritual advisors, and even consulted a Voodoo High Priestess, in order to understand why he had fallen in love so strongly and why he remained emotionally lost in this world of unrequited love. The advisors had told him that in a previous life, several hundred years ago, he had been a warrior named "Malin" and he had fallen in love with "Alesia" and that they were "Soul Mates" destined to meet again. Most of the advisors had told him that when he had fallen in love this was Malin and Alesia trying to connect in another life. The book explores the difficulty Marcus is experiencing in trying to reconcile all of these emotional and spiritual feelings with his no nonsense logical brain. He is left with the main questions, "Is Anastasia the latest visitation of Alesia and is she the Soul Mate that he has been seeking all along?"
