Strategic choices made by entrepreneurs have major consequences for SME performance. This book explores the factors that influence entrepreneurial strategic decisions using a cognitive theoretical framework.The proposed model, based on a dual processing approach, integrates motivation, emotions and information processing modes and is tested in several empirical studies. The results show the model's potential for furthering interesting research agendas in entrepreneurial cognition research. The authors also reveal that entrepreneurial cognitions can be elicited and represented in the form of cognitive maps. The structural complexity of the cognitive maps (cognitive complexity) is an important prerequisite of effective strategic decisions and is a core concept for the advancement of our knowledge in entrepreneurial cognition. The book is an informed and interesting exploration of entrepreneurial cognition with both theoretical and methodological contributions to this field of research.Entrepreneurial Strategic Decision-Making will be of great interest to undergraduate students and academics in the field of entrepreneurship. Policymakers will learn from this book to understand the distinctions between various types of entrepreneurial decision-makers and the way they make strategic decisions.

The Last GoldenheartIn a time when civilized young ladies finished school and secured a suitable husband, Georgia Goldenheart was an anomaly. Born to a noble family, the burden falls to her to uphold an ancestral pact by protecting the Three Realms from malicious darkness. Superb strength. Unmatchable wit. In polite society these attributes aren't necessary. Yet when her cousin dies, leaving her as heir to the family business, they become the tools she relies on to survive. Guided by a kindly wizard, Georgia investigates a mysterious murder. But there's far more to this crime than meets the eye. Demonic bats. Blood-thirsty zombies. Other creepy-crawls that go bump in the night. Once, Georgia's biggest worry was finding a husband. Now, she's hoping to make it to the end of the season without being eaten alive. Goldenheart Magical Mysteries is a glorious combination of fantasy, intrigue, a bit of regal manners, and a dash of humor. Perfect for readers looking for stories of a strong heroine, surrounded by her loyal friends, solving supernatural murders and mysteries
