The past decade has witnessed a significant growth of entrepreneurship and small business research, but also an increased fragmentation of the field. The editors, Robert Blackburn, Dirk De Clercq and Jarna Heinonen, have provided a timely overview of the field, including the entrepreneurial process and business development, the entrepreneurial milieu, and research methodologies. The book will be a goldmine, for those searching the knowledge within the field but also for those searching provocative research questions for the future. Therefore, this is a perfect text for researchers, PhD candidates, and advanced master students in entrepreneurship, small businesses, and management studies.
