About the Series

Advances in the Study of Entrepreneurship, Innovation, and Economic Growth has a rich history in identifying, exploring, and articulating

research topics of critical importance to entrepreneurship and economic growth. Accomplished scholars from around the world have

contributed to past volumes. Titles have included Entrepreneurship and Global Competitiveness in Regional Economies: Determinants

and Policy Implications; Spanning Boundaries and Disciplines: University Technology Commercialization in the Knowledge Age; Measuring

the Social Value of innovation: A Link in the University Technology Transfer and Entrepreneurship Equation; and Frontiers in Eco-

Entrepreneurship. Volume 24 in this series represents a new era for AISEIEG. Beginning with this volume, the series is organized and

edited by leadership of the Global Consortium of Entrepreneurship Centers (CCEC). GCEC has become the principal vehicle by which the

top, established entrepreneurship centres, as well as emerging centres, can work together to share information, develop programs and

initiatives, and collaborate with one another in advancing, strengthening, and celebrating the contributions and impact of individual

centres.
