"This book is an important contribution to understanding the phenomenon of entrepreneurship in its entirety. It is thorough and comprehensive in its exploration of current research and knowledge in the entrepreneurship field and offers a framework for combining the many disparate threads of evidence on entrepreneurship that have been generated over the past 40 years. The book offers critical insights about entrepreneurial processes that have significant implications for practice, theory, and future research efforts." - William Gartner, Professor of Entrepreneurship and the Art of Innovation, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark
