Product Description
Review
'Kevin Mole and Monder Ramconclude this wide-ranging volume by observing that this is a very positive time to study entrepreneurship. On the basis of the diverse approaches thoughtfully covered in this volume, this is a sentiment which will be echoed by future generations of student readers.' - David Storey, Professor of Enterprise, University of Sussex
'This book brings together a welcome but seldom offered exposure to, and critique of, different approaches to the study of entrepreneurship. It elucidates these approaches, and their merits and demerits, very effectively through well chosen studies across chapters. It is a valuable addition to the literature on entrepreneurship and should be read by any serious student in this field.' - Ken O'Neill, Professor Emeritus of Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development, University of Ulster
'Conventional business education too often provides a single theoretical approach for examining complex business issues. As a result, students and even some faculty forget that theoretical models are man-made tools, not literal representations of reality. This book's collection of many different perspectives on entrepreneurship is a rare resource for helping students and other readers develop the capacity to frame this important business phenomenon from multiple points of view.' - Anne Colby, Consulting Professor, Stanford University; co-author of Rethinking Undergraduate Business Education

Product Description
How should we think about entrepreneurship? Should we focus on the psychology of people who become entrepreneurs or consider the groups that people belong to? Should we emphasize the incentives, context and environment that lead people to become entrepreneurial? This book presents different ways of thinking about entrepreneurship: instead of topics such as finance or opportunities, the book focuses on perspectives or ways of seeing. Written by leading experts, Perspectives in Entrepreneurship examines the emergence and development of entrepreneurship as an academic discipline. The book takes a critical look at the varying positions in the field and their overall contribution to entrepreneurship as a whole.
Perspectives in Entrepreneurship is an essential text for upper level undergraduate and postgraduate students of entrepreneurship.

A different way of looking at entrepreneurship, not just useful for students. I thoroughly enjoyed this book as it made me think.
