'This book adds much to our knowledge about the links between entrepreneurship, innovation and regional development. The editors have assembled a knowledgeable group of contributors who discuss the book's topic from many complementary angles. I am convinced that the book will appeal to entrepreneurship scholars and practitioners alike that are eager to know more about regional development and the role of entrepreneurship and innovation therein.' -- Friederike Welter, Institut fur Mittelstandsforschung (IfM) Bonn, and University of Siegen, GermanyMore details
