Modern Perspectives on Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship has developed enormously as a field of research over the last 20 years but much of this advance in knowledge has not yet been disseminated to university entrepreneurship education programs; particularly MBA courses. While most university textbooks and courses dealing with entrepreneurship provide a good foundation in terms of some of the fundamentals of small business management, few address the more challenging complexities of entrepreneurship. This books aims to fill the gap. It provides a compilation of the latest thinking on entrepreneurship by some of the leading international professors in university business schools and economics departments. It is primarily intended as a partner book for the vast number of entrepreneurship textbooks which are usually focused on aspects of small business management rather than the entrepreneurial process per se. This volume is intended to bring the entrepreneurial dimension. It is also a stand alone book for entrepreneurs, policy makers, lecturers, students and researchers who value a single accessible book which provides a series of articles containing surveys and perspectives on the latest advances in entrepreneurial thought.
