The SAGE Handbook of Small Business and Entrepreneurship Reviews

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.
-- Hans Landstroem

This is an excellent book. It provides a rich and nuanced overview of past research in small business and entrepreneurship and presents interesting avenues for future research. The editors have done a superb job in assembling such knowledgeable contributors. A must read for postgraduate students, researchers and those interested in fostering small business and entrepreneurs alike.

-- Friederike Welter
