Biographical note
Chihmao Hsieh, Associate Professor of Entrepreneurship, and Founding Director of the Center for Global Entrepreneurship, SUNY Korea<i>‘Original, exceptional, deftly written, and thoroughly “reader friendly” in organization and presentation, </i>The Emotions and Emotionality of Entrepreneurship<i> by Professor Chihmao Hsieh is a seminal, meticulous, and groundbreaking study that will prove of immense value for readers with an interest in economics, cognitive psychology, and business entrepreneurship.’</i>
- James A. Cox, Midwest Book Review,
<i>‘Emotions are influential in entrepreneurship. Being able to investigate the issues through multiple lenses is so important and too often neglected. Hsieh frames the challenge in terms of “emotionality”, nudging our thinking in a productive direction. An important read for entrepreneurs, policymakers, and scholars alike.’</i>
- Norris Krueger, Entrepreneurship Northwest, USA,
Hsieh inspects the roles and implications of emotions during opportunity formation, opportunity exploitation, entrepreneurial action, performance, and exit, going beyond the typical view that emotional intelligence, emotion regulation, and resilience alone suffice. Besides addressing topics of passion and emotional exhaustion, the chapters also rigorously lay out the practical ‘lessons learned’ for entrepreneurs in relation to teamwork, leadership and the family context. The last part of the book depicts how emotionality differentially impacts stakeholder management, social venturing and both regional and country-level business activity.
The Emotions and Emotionality of Entrepreneurship offers sophisticated insight which can benefit entrepreneurs, policymakers, and NGO directors alike. It also serves as a crucial read for scholars and students of entrepreneurship, organizational behavior, and management.
