"This is a very ambitious book, which by and large is successful. Using a robust variety of analyses and case studies of most of the world's nations labeled as emerging or transitioning countries, the volume, sometimes elegantly, establishes the linkages between business and management education, and productivity, entrepreneurship, and economic development and modernization - no small feat." - Robert G. Hawkins, Emeritus, Georgia Institute of Technology; Past President and Fellow, Academy of International Business"
