Inclusive entrepreneurship focuses on the role that entrepreneurship plays in the social and economic participation of unconventional or underrepresented groups (Bakker & McMullen, 2023; OECD/European Commission, 2023).  This is because the norms and systems in mainstream institutions are designed for conventional groups of entrepreneurs leading unconventional groups to be excluded from business activities or resources that facilitate their entrepreneurial tasks (OECD/European Commission, 2023). These unconventional groups of entrepreneurs who differ from the ‘norm’ include people with disabilities, refugees, ethnic minorities, former convicts, members of the LGBTQIA+ communities, and many more (Bakker & McMullen, 2023; OECD/European Commission, 2023). In certain geographical regions, women entrepreneurs are also considered unconventional (OECD/European Commission, 2023). Thus, inclusive entrepreneurship focuses on how these unconventional groups engage with entrepreneurship, what can be done, and what/how systems and policies could facilitate the inclusion of unconventional entrepreneurs.

The overall objective of this case book is to compile a set of real-world teaching cases that can be used for pedagogical purposes. To address the learning needs of different learner groups, we seek cases written in different ways including narratives, interviews, and blog posts, among others. The cases can be inquiry/problem-based, dilemma-based, or situation-based or any other format. Each case needs to be followed by teaching notes.
