Description and Table of Contents

Description

This work is concerned with the development of academic interest in the field of entrepreneurial activity. Its aim is to provide a range of key articles that will be useful to students and academics working in the field, although the discussion within them is by no means mutually exclusive. They reflect both the focus and volume of research to date and, as far as possible, the pre-occupations of those practitioners and policy-makers concerned to use the research findings.
