Edited by Ulla Hytti, Professor of Entrepreneurship, Department of Management and Entrepreneurship, University of Turku, Finland, Robert Blackburn, Professor, University of Liverpool Management School, UK and Silke Tegtmeier, Associate Professor, University of Southern Denmark, Sønderborg, Denmark

'This is a wonderful book with so many interesting thoughts regarding the distinctiveness of European entrepreneurship research! The contributions focus on different and sometimes very surprising aspects of entrepreneurial contexts. The editors have done a superb job in putting together this book, which I consider a must-read for scholars that are interested in both the newest European entrepreneurship research and, even more importantly, its contribution to the context debate in the entrepreneurship field.'--Friederike Welter, IfM Bonn and University of Siegen, Germany
