Reviews / Votes
'This volume demonstrates the dynamism and diversity of entrepreneurship as it is practised by men and women across a variety of contexts, and also the vibrancy and relevance of the entrepreneurship research field as it attempts to understand and communicate this widespread social and economic phenomenon.' -- Sara Carter, Strathclyde Business School, UK 'This book showcases thought-provoking studies that reflect what European entrepreneurship scholarship has successfully pioneered: penetrating analyses of often taken-for-granted assumptions about the nature of entrepreneurship. These chapters direct readers to where entrepreneurship scholarship will likely go in the future, particularly in using "gendered" perspectives to realize the heterogeneity of entrepreneurial activity in various contexts.' -- William B. Gartner, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark and California Lutheran University, USMore details
