Hello everyone,
I wanted to alert you to a new book, Historical Foundations Of
Entrepreneurship Research, that is being published by Edward Elgar
Publishing in Europe this month and in the U.S. in December. Details are
provided below, but the brief description of the book is
This book historicizes entrepreneurship research, its primary thesis being
history matters. Expert contributors discuss the fields long history and
explore whether it has developed a mature and comprehensive knowledge base.
The intellectual roots of several important theories are then examined in
depth because, as entrepreneurship research has become more theory driven,
and scholars have borrowed theories from many different fields, it becomes
increasingly important to understand their origin. Finally, the book
demonstrates how economic history research (for example, the historical and
institutional context of entrepreneurial behaviour) can contribute to our
understanding of entrepreneurship.
We hope you find the book useful as a general reference or for a PhD seminar
text. I have included the table of contents below, and you can access a
full description at
