Evan J. Douglas, Adjunct Professor of Entrepreneurship, Australian Centre for Entrepreneurship Research, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia and Senior Research Fellow, Sasin School of Management, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand

'At present, we lack an overarching conceptual framework for entrepreneurial intention. Evan Douglas's book is offering this much needed framework, notably by conceptualising entrepreneurial intention in different types of entrepreneurship (commercial, social, corporate), building an inclusive and holistic approach to entrepreneurial intention. Evan Douglas highlights the main issues for entrepreneurial intention research and suggests new avenues for the future. A much needed read for those interested in this stream of research.'--Alain Fayolle, EMLYON Business School, France
