The figure of the entrepreneur has become a relevant factor that explains
the process of growth and economic development. Rising unemployment rates
have generated among institutional and private agents, a significant
interest in promoting entrepreneurship as a formula to eradicate this social
scourge of unemployment. Active policies that favor business culture and
initiative are being promoted in all areas.
In the university world, academic research has multiplied the work on
entrepreneurship, a term that includes a triple meaning: the figure of the
entrepreneur, the business function and the creation of companies. This
versatile meaning must be based on a consistent theory about the company and
the entrepreneur. This book presents specific cases of companies and
entrepreneurs that have had their role throughout the history of Spain. The
intention is to show the techniques and learning acquired by those agents,
which have allowed a considerable advance in the knowledge of the structure
and business development.
This book brings together the research carried out by its authors with
primary sources and makes it accessible to a wide audience—Spanish and Latin
American—and will be of value to researchers, academics, and students with
an interest in Spanish entrepreneurship, business, and management history.
