“This book takes entrepreneurship beyond the
individual, size of the venture, entrepreneurial personality, and looks at
entrepreneurship as a long term complex process that is heterogeneous, content
dependent with an emphasis on innovationand growth. A must read for
individuals interested in entrepreneurship, today and in the future, on a
domestic and global basis.” – Robert D. Hisrich,

most important concept of the modern socio-economic disciplines. This book

multifaceted socio-economic examination of the impact of entrepreneurship for
growth.” – Roy Thurik,
