Reviews

`This book brings together much-admired pieces of literature to help us to understand the dynamics of global entrepreneurship, situating them within the formal institutions and systems of incentives in the countries and regions where they begin and shows how they are later expanded to larger markets. This book will also help the emerging economies to strategize their public policies for entrepreneurship development. This book is recommended to scholars and practitioners engaged in entrepreneurship research, or studying the entrepreneurial behaviors of global enterprises.' -- Science & Public Policy `This outstanding volume by Zoltan J. Acs, a leading expert on entrepreneurship and innovation, provides the perfect introduction to current thinking about entrepreneurship in the global economy. The topics are critical for people contemplating entrepreneurship and development; from knowledge diffusion to philanthropy, regional growth and the role of entrepreneurs in economic growth.' -- Saul Estrin, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK `This book brings together much-admired pieces of literature to help us to understand the dynamics of global entrepreneurship, situating them within the formal institutions and systems of incentives in the countries and regions where they begin and shows how they are later expanded to larger markets.
