Wellbeing is an integral part of living a fulfilled life. It is intimately related to people's capacity to work and maintain positive relationships. Wellbeing plays an important role in scholarly conversations and public policy debates. In this respect, entrepreneurship can be a source of personal fulfillment and satisfaction, which, in turn, can energise entrepreneurs to persist in improbable tasks that can become a force for a positive change in society. For example, new ventures are created by entrepreneurs not only to benefit themselves but to a greater extent to contribute to customers and other multiple key actors in society. Wellbeing is a complex topic that can be taught across a multitude of areas, including psychology, entrepreneurship and health. This book adds to the context of entrepreneurship by highlighting different types of wellbeing. In this book, the focus is placed on SME owners, and wellbeing and various ways of measuring it in different contexts are discussed. The SME owner is a critical stakeholder in economies, and therefore, the highlighted focus is on how they can apply and practically implement strategies linked to wellbeing which is deemed to be essential for business success. Entrepreneurial Wellbeing: Perspectives in SMEs based on Gender and Immigrant Entrepreneurs will provide views on wellbeing for entrepreneurs, students, employees and research audiences and will help them to further understand this multifaceted topic.
