These developments pose new challenges to the way we look at firms, their people and the locations in which they are based. They generate curiosity in the ways in which new ventures emerge through different forms of learning and the use of technologies for creative solutions to problems of wealth creation and distribution, among researchers, policy makers and practitioners.
