Practitioners, students and researchers of entrepreneurship will look back in many years' time and thank Steyaert and Hjorth for putting up a superb collection. I strongly recommend it to any creative individuals who are interested in how the entrepreneurial world really works.' - Henry Wai-chung Yeung, National University of Singapore. 'Hjorth and Steyaert have succeeded in compiling a volume that is "mainstream" enough to appeal to entrepreneurship scholars both in North America and Europe, yet different enough to provoke and make a contribution. The authors include some of the most prominent scholars on both sides of the Atlantic, and they provide fresh views on several "hot topics" in contemporary research such as a process view on entrepreneurship research; the opportunity concept; the role of the individual; the importance of knowledge and asymmetric information, as well as ethnic and international entrepreneurship.' - Per Davidsson, Jönköping University, Sweden. At last, a book that focuses on trendsetting thinking and research in the field of entrepreneurship and sets an agenda for current and future movements in the field.
