This book covers key topics in entrepreneurship, including
entrepreneurial behavior, risk and opportunity recognition, equity
financing, business culture and strategy, innovation, and the
impact of entrepreneurship on economic growth and development.
Interest in and attention to entrepreneurship has exploded in
recent years. Nevertheless, much of the research and scholarship in
entrepreneurship has remained elusive to academics, policymakers
and other researchers, in large part because the field is informed
by a broad spectrum of disciplines, including management, finance,
economics, policy, sociology, and psychology, often pursued in
isolation from each other. Since its original publication in 2003,
the Handbook of Entrepreneurship Research has served as the
definitive resource in the field, bringing together contributions
from leading scholars in these disciplines to present a holistic,
multi-dimensional approach. This new edition, fully revised and
updated, and including several new chapters, covers all of the
primary topics in entrepreneurship, including entrepreneurial
behavior, risk and opportunity recognition, equity financing,
business culture and strategy, innovation, and the impact of
entrepreneurship on economic growth and development. Featuring an
integrative introduction, extensive literature reviews and
reference lists, the Handbook will continue to serve as a roadmap
to the rapidly evolving and dynamic field of entrepreneurship.Since

provides doctoral students with a broad yet solid introduction to
the field, and established scholars with an overview that is
otherwise very hard to obtain. It is a must read for every academic
who is serious about entrepreneurship.
Per Davidsson, The Jönköping International Business School
"Acs and Audretsch have assembled a virtual who's who list
of researchers in the fledgling field of entrepreneurship. Even
more usefully, the Handbook also includes reviews of the vast array
of work closely related to entrepreneurship that has appeared
primarily in economics, psychology and sociology journals; despite
their relevance, locating these studies can prove difficult as
their authors frequently do not focus on the implications of their
research for entrepreneurship.
