Recenzje

'The phenomenon of international entrepreneurship is undoubtedly important, and yet most academic research has continued to take either an entrepreneurship or an international business lens to study it. This new volume, edited by Fernhaber and Prashantham, is therefore particularly welcome as it brings together a wide variety of perspectives on this increasingly important topic. The range of issues it addresses, and the interdisciplinary approach taken, will make it a must-read volume on international entrepreneurship for many years to come.' - Julian Birkinshaw, Professor, London Business School, UK

'The balanced perspective between entrepreneurship and international business makes this book unique. Most international entrepreneurship (IE) writings are dominated by either an entrepreneurship or an IB perspective. The cross-disciplinary team of Fernhaber and Prashantham has created a comprehensive IE book that should be on the book shelf of every IE scholar.' - Patricia P. McDougall-Covin, Professor, Kelley School of Business, Indiana University, USA

'This book is timely as it deals with a major topic of emerging importance in the field, international entrepreneurship. The editors have developed a book that serves as a thorough compendia of the field and is written by experts in International entrepreneurship. As such, this volume is a major source of knowledge on which to develop a course in international entrepreneurship or as a source for launching a major research program. Thus, I commend this volume to scholars in entrepreneurship, international business and complementary fields who desire to learn about this exciting field of international entrepreneurship.' - Michael A. Hitt, Professor, Texas A&M University, USA
