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.

Gender identity is a deeply-held sense of one's own gender, which may or may not align with the sex assigned at birth.

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.

Identity Theory
All people derive particular identities from their roles in society, the groups they belong to, and their personal characteristics.Introduced almost thirty years ago, identity theory is a social psychological theory in the field of sociology that attempts to understand identities, their sources in interaction and society, their processes of operation, and their consequences for interaction and society.The theory brings together in a single framework the central roles of both meaning and resources in human interaction and purpose.This book describes identity theory, its origins, the research that supports it, and its future direction.It covers the relation between identity theory and other related theories as well as the nature and operation of identities.In addition, the book discusses the multiple identities that individuals hold from their multiple positions in society and organization as well as the multiple identities activated by many people interacting in groups and organizations. And, it covers the manner in which identities offer both stability and change to individuals.Co-authored by the originators of the theory, this book accessibly presents decades of research in a single volume, making the full range of this powerful new theory understandable to readers at all levels.

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.

Is cloning identity fraud?
Cloning is not the same as identity fraud. Cloning refers to the creation of a genetically identical copy of an organism, while identity fraud involves using someone else's personal information for fraudulent purposes. While cloning may raise ethical and moral concerns, it is not the same as the criminal act of identity fraud. However, the potential misuse of cloned genetic material could potentially lead to identity fraud if used to create false identities.
