Rezensionen

Pioneers in Entrepreneurship Research and Small Business is a non-technical (and accessible) treatment of management research relating to entrepreneurship and small business. It seems aimed at the researcher who will find it useful as a reference source to dip into and perhaps, through the publication of the interviews (with winners of the FSF-NUTEK International Award for entrepreneurship), will also appeal to those who would like to get an insight into the perspectives and personalities of some of the leading researchers in entrepreneurship. It delivers on both of these fronts and as a result my copy of the book has resided in my university office, on my sofa at home and in my hand luggage on various airplanes." -- Andrew Burke, Cranfield University School of Management, UK
