Abstract

This textbook describes the history of Finnish entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship from the mid-19th century to the present. The book presents an informative analysis of the development of entrepreneurship and provides insights into the development of the Finnish economy and the manner in which entrepreneurship has evolved with the development of society. The book describes current phenomena within entrepreneurship, such as the entrepreneurial ecosystem and collaboration in entrepreneurship education. Entrepreneurship has become an important topic of social debate, and much has been written about it. However, still more research is needed to gain a more complete understanding. There has been a failure within the entrepreneurship literature to combine the different aspects of entrepreneurship into a single entity and little research on the history of Finnish entrepreneurship. The book is part of the model of cooperation in entrepreneurship education in Jyväskylä. It builds an overview of entrepreneurship by linking entrepreneurship to different stages of social development and describing the dimensions of modern entrepreneurship. The book diversifies the teaching material used in entrepreneurship education. The book can be used for entrepreneurship education in different educational settings. It is mainly intended for higher education and can be used in entrepreneurship education at different educational institutions, in the education of entrepreneurship teachers, in the training of secondary teachers and in the further training of entrepreneurs in general.
