The Handbook of Entrepreneurship brings together the best researchers in the USA and Europe to review the most up-to-date thinking on the most crucial topics in entrepreneurship studies. It is the first book to combine the research activities of Europe and the United States and reflects cutting-edge research with a multicultural perspective. The 21 chapters in the Handbook have been written by 28 experts representing a entrepreneurial Who's Who.
"Overall, the book fills a gaping hole, not only in international entrepreneurship research but also in teaching. This is a perfect text for a graduate course in International Entrepreneurship. For a researcher in this area, the chapters will be a goldmine, providing not only background for research but also provocative research questions. Don Sexton has done it again: bringing together the best minds in entrepreneurship and providing a state of the art look at international entrepreneurship. Excellent job!" Nancy Upton, Baylor University
"The book is an interesting collection on international entrepreneurship from a variety of approaches: pure theoretical frameworks, specific applications within selected countries, and cross-country comparisons. The Handbook of Entrepreneurship serves as a course for someone wanting to learn the 'state of the art' of international entrepreneurship." Patricia G Greene, University of Missouri - Kansas City
"The Handbook of Entrepreneurship will undoubtedly become one of the most definitive and highly cited works in the field. Sexton and his co-authors have provided the field of entrepreneurship with a reference that identifies and summarizes the contemporary research in the field, anchoring the book with contributions of major scholars. The authors are to be congratulated for stepping out of the North American focus that is typical of most entrepreneurship books indeed, I think many readers will see the more international exploration of this book as one of its key contributions. Overall, [this book} is very well organized, has excellent content, explores interesting issues, and is certain to be found on the bookshelves of most entrepreneurship scholars." Patricia McDougall, Kelley School of Business, Indiana University - Bloomington
"This volume is a mix of theoretical and disucssion articles and forms an excellent summary of the research issues int he field to date. As such, it is a volume for the researcher and the academic business library". Business Management
