Handbook of Research on New Venture Creation, Hardcover by Hindle, Kevin (EDT); Klyver, Kim (EDT), ISBN 1847200958, ISBN-13 9781847200952, Brand New, Free P&P in the UKThe editors issued a call for critical commentary--rather than empirical or conceptual studies--on what has been done, is being done, and could or should be done to improve knowledge of important issues. They state in their introduction that "... as editors, we do not equate the term `new venture creation' with the whole field of entrepreneurship. We regard it as a distinct subcategory...." Contributors were asked to state their opinions and observations on this distinction, and their responses are appended. Nineteen contributions are arranged in sections on setting the agenda (looking at venture creation research and finding the questions that will lead to new perspectives); theoretical perspectives; data and measurement; and contextual lenses (for example, cultural context as a moderator of private entrepreneurship investment behavior, education in the field, creative artists & entrepreneurship, and post-Soviet societies). The editors are affiliated as follows: Kevin Hindle (Deakin U., Australia) and Kim Klyver (U. of Southern Denmark). Contributors are academics and entrepreneurs based in at least a half dozen countries. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
