This timely book presents contemporary research on the key role of
entrepreneurship in firm growth and development strategies. The
contributors reveal that a high level of entrepreneurial activity
contributes to economic growth, innovative activities, competition,
job creation and local development. The contents of the book,
although varied in terms of the topics covered and research methods
used, demonstrate the role of entrepreneurship in relation to
growth and economic development in a variety of different contexts.
Drawing together leading-edge European research, the expert
contributors analyze a number of different issues, such as whether
firm growth and performance are different concepts in
entrepreneurship studies, growth strategies of IT firms, the
start-up funding process, cross-border cooperation between
enterprises and SME competitiveness. Entrepreneurship, Growth and
Economic Development will appeal to researchers and students of
entrepreneurship and small business. Policy makers will also find
this book a source of inspiration. Contributors: K. Balaton, K.
