Entrepreneurial Identity and Identity Work
Identities can potentially serve as powerful elements that both drive, and are shaped by, entrepreneurial actions.Entrepreneurial identity is a complex construct with multidisciplinary roots, and therefore there is scope to more fully enrich our theoretical understanding of identity and identity formation, at both individual and organizational levels, and their relationship to entrepreneurial processes, practices and activities.This book highlights two key features of contemporary research on entrepreneurial identity.First, to see it as a dynamic rather than a (relatively) fixed and unchanging feature, shaped by different life episodes.It is increasingly fluid, multilevel and multidimensional, comprising multiple subidentities rather than a univocal (and unchanging) self.As such, it has a profound effect not only on the way we feel, think and behave, but also on what we aim to achieve.Accordingly, it is vital that its dynamics are better understood, particularly in determining how actors behave in an entrepreneurial context.The book’s second focus is on identity work as the process through which entrepreneurial identities are formed and shaped, and the contributors demonstrate how the dynamics of identity formation relate to entrepreneurial outcomes in a range of individual and organizational contexts.This book was originally published as a special issue of Entrepreneurship & Regional Development.

What creates identity?
Identity is created through a combination of factors such as personal experiences, cultural background, social interactions, and self-perception. Our upbringing, beliefs, values, and relationships all play a role in shaping who we are and how we see ourselves. Additionally, external influences such as societal norms, media representation, and historical context can also impact our identity formation. Ultimately, identity is a complex and multifaceted concept that is continuously evolving as we navigate through life.

Why have the bonds in my portfolio, which are securities, lost the most value, even though they are EU government bonds considered safe investment havens?
The value of bonds in your portfolio may have decreased due to changes in interest rates. When interest rates rise, the value of existing bonds decreases because they are paying lower interest rates than newly issued bonds. This is known as interest rate risk. Even though EU government bonds are considered safe investments, they are still subject to fluctuations in interest rates, which can impact their value. Additionally, other factors such as economic conditions, inflation expectations, and market sentiment can also affect the value of bonds in your portfolio.

How does investing in bonds differ from investing in a bank account?
Investing in bonds involves purchasing debt securities issued by governments or corporations, which pay a fixed interest rate over a specified period of time. In contrast, investing in a bank account typically involves depositing money into a savings or checking account, where it earns a variable interest rate set by the bank. Bonds generally offer higher potential returns than bank accounts, but they also carry a higher level of risk. Additionally, bonds have a maturity date, while bank accounts provide more immediate access to funds.

What is gender identity?
Gender identity is a deeply-held sense of one's own gender, which may or may not align with the sex assigned at birth. It is a personal understanding of oneself as male, female, a blend of both, or neither. Gender identity is separate from biological sex and can be fluid and diverse, encompassing a wide range of identities beyond the traditional binary of male and female. It is an integral aspect of a person's identity and how they perceive themselves in relation to the world.

Understanding Identity
Identity matters, but it matters in different ways at different times.Identity is a buzz word that we often hear about in all sorts of contexts, ranging from the concern with the self expressed through therapy, to identity crises that operate on the global arena, especially post 9/11. This book charts some of the most important identity stories that make up people's lives and inform debates within the social sciences.It is organised around the big questions: How can we feel we belong in a constantly transforming, uncertain world?Can we exercise control in shaping our identities? Does an emphasis on the fluidity of identity produce another set of uncertainties?What is the link between the personal and the social in the formation of identities? Each chapter explores personal and collective identities drawing on varied examples highlighting the importance of gender, race, and ethnicity, embodiment and place in the production of meanings about who we are. Understanding Identity is about debates located within a history of understanding the self and of belonging, developing an argument about thinking through the tension between theories based on fixity and fluidity, drawing on an extensive range of identity stories, from different empirical sources as well as the long history of theorising identity.

Is gender identity sexist?
Gender identity itself is not inherently sexist. Gender identity is a deeply personal and individual experience that reflects a person's internal sense of their own gender, which may or may not align with the sex they were assigned at birth. However, societal norms, expectations, and stereotypes around gender can be sexist, as they often reinforce traditional gender roles and perpetuate inequality between genders. It is important to separate the concept of gender identity from these societal constructs in order to promote understanding and acceptance of diverse gender identities.
