Barbara Pavey (editor) - Entrepreneurship, Dyslexia, and Education: Research, Principles, and Practice (Routledge Studies in Entrepreneurship)

The development of entrepreneurial abilities in people with dyslexia is a subject of great interest. It has gained increasing importance in economically difficult times because of its potential for the development of new business opportunities. This book brings together contributions from researchers, educators, and entrepreneurs with dyslexia, investigating this subject from many perspectives.

Is there something different in the profile of a person with dyslexia that supports the development of entrepreneurship? This book aims to draw out key themes which can be used in education to motivate, mentor, and create the business leaders of tomorrow. It offers a fundamental text for this area of study with a comprehensive, international examination of its topic. It includes views by new and established international writers and researchers, providing up-to-date perspectives on entrepreneurship, dyslexia, and education. It is accessible to read, to understand, and to learn from and is suitable for recommended reading for graduate and postgraduate students.

The diverse views and perspectives demonstrated in this book make it as relevant as possible for a wide group of readers. It informs study in the fields of business and dyslexia, and will be of interest to educators, researchers, and to anyone interested in the overlap of entrepreneurship and dyslexia.

Barbara Pavey is an independent dyslexia and special educational needs and disability specialist and author, focusing on Dyslexia-Friendly principles and techniques, and with a particular interest in entrepreneurship.

Neil Alexander-Passe is a special educational needs and disability coordinator in primary and secondary schools and an expert inclusion adviser to the UKs Department of Education, and his focus is the emotional impact of dyslexia.

Margaret Meehan is a specialist tutor in higher education, previously directing tutor support, and a former chartered chemist and chartered science teacher. As an author she is concerned with researching the holistic impact of dyslexia and other learning attributes.

This series extends the meaning and scope of entrepreneurship by capturing new research and enquiry on economic, social, cultural and personal value creation. Entrepreneurship as value creation represents the endeavours of innovative people and organisations in creative environments that open up opportunities for developing new products, new services, new firms and new forms of policy making in different environments seeking sustainable economic growth and social development. In setting this objective the series includes books which cover a diverse range of conceptual, empirical and scholarly topics that both inform the field and push the boundaries of entrepreneurship.
