Critical Acclaim
‘Entrepreneurship is a central and poorly understood phenomenon of our social systems. This collective, led by Fayolle, Le Pontois and Pelly, has the great merit of asking questions that are both relevant and difficult while providing answers that take into account contemporary reality.’
– Michel Fortier, UQAR, Canada
‘Alain Fayolle, Sandrine Le Pontois and R. Duncan M. Pelly have brought together key scholars to offer this insightful and thoughtful book that is a must-read for anyone interested in entrepreneurship and its research. The authors take us on a superb journey and purposefully prompt us to reflect on what good entrepreneurship research is, as well as our identity as researchers and how we approach and think about our work. By addressing the issues and challenges that philosophical and methodological discussions bring, this book also introduces new models and ideas that are beneficial to all those involved in entrepreneurship. An inspiring read and a very timely addition. In taking on the big questions, the answers are indeed great.’
– Sarah Jack, Distinguished Professor, Lancaster University, UK
