Summary

This is a comprehensive review of state-of-the-art research in Entrepreneurship, written by an international team of leading scholars. Entrepreneurship has been a dynamic and expanding area of research over the last twenty years, but there has been no standard reference work for both established scholars and new researchers. This book fills that gap.
