Media Reviews
I found Professor Shepherd's approach in the book to be quite informative. ... the suggestions and ideas presented in the book are beneficial and constructive for those interested in developing as a serious scholar. I truly hope to see the book become required reading in doctoral programmes that have the mission of producing good entrepreneurship scholars. (Dean A.
