Recenzje

"The book is truly novel given it offers a new perspective on the topic of cosmopolitan cities as entrepreneurial hubs. It links together entrepreneurship, national culture and gender to critically discuss what represents an interesting mixture of opportunities and challenges for growing cities worldwide. The case studies of specific cosmopolitan cities from around the world offer empirical evidence in support of theoretical discourse held." –Viachaslau Filimonau, Bournemouth University, UK
