A comprehensive review of entrepreneurship literature and expose of various entrepreneurship paradigms and theories. An attempt is made to define nascent entrepreneurship and the profile of a successful nascent entrepreneur. A perspective of the effects of global crises such as the recent coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on venture success was discussed and hypothesized, as there was neither sufficient data nor literature to draw any meaningful conclusion. Overall, the book gives a parsimonious deep insight into entrepreneurship literature and presents a novel perspective of some of the entrepreneurship paradigms and literature.
