This book focuses on the fundamental theoretical research of innovation-driven entrepreneurship, carefully selecting 30 classical theories related to innovation-driven entrepreneurship research and dividing them into three chapters, including root theories, stem theories, and branch theories. The book summarizes the development venation and main ideas of each theory, as well as its application and development in entrepreneurship; analyzes the limitations of these theories in innovation-driven entrepreneurship research; and proposes scientific questions for future research. This book provides insights into the theoretical logic behind the phenomena of innovation-driven entrepreneurship, lays the foundation for developing a theoretical system of innovation-driven entrepreneurship, and points the way to enrich or even reconstruct existing theories, as well as guides the practice of innovation-driven entrepreneurship worldwide with an emphasis on China. This book is a reference for teaching courses on innovation and entrepreneurship management in universities and for experts, scholars, graduate students, policymakers, entrepreneurs, and managers in related fields.
