About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
"The second handbook in the International Handbook Series on Entrepreneurship sets out to critically review the contribution of different disciplines to entrepreneurship research. … this is an excellent volume for all of us involved and interested in the debate on how to bring entrepreneurship research forward and whether to create a distinctive domain of entrepreneurship studies. The book also can be recommended as a good overview on entrepreneurship-related studies and topics in economics and sociology for a broader audience, including doctoral students of entrepreneurship." (Friederike Welter, International Entrepreneurship and Management Journal, Vol. 3, 2007)
