The Emotions and Emotionality of Entrepreneurship

In his thought-provoking book, Chihmao Hsieh brings together how emotions and emotionality relate to the entrepreneurship process and journey, at distinct stages, across a variety of contexts, and at different levels of analysis. Thoroughly reviewing decades of scholarly research, he covers the theories underlying entrepreneurial emotion and pores over the influence of affect on venture creation and development.

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.
