'The editors have assembled a distinguished group of scholars to
weigh in on a timely, important, and under-researched topic: the
role of accelerators in venture creation and growth. The end result
is a lucid and insightful book. This is a ''must read'' for
scholars, policymakers, and practitioners with an interest in the
role of incubators/accelerators in entrepreneurship and regional
economic development.' - Donald Siegel, Arizona State University,
US Understanding how accelerators build an entrepreneurial
ecosystem, generate innovations and create new technologies is key
for anyone wishing to nurture a start-up company. This book
compares the success of accelerators in comparison to the
independent growth of new companies or incubators through a series
of in-depth studies. Accelerators: Successful Venture Creation and
Growth examines how the organisational structures and practices of
start-up accelerators generate innovations and identify new
technologies, products and services. Mike Wright and Israel Drori
have developed an entrepreneurial approach to this topic, exploring
accelerators and start-ups as temporary organisations. This allows
the contributing authors to highlight issues relating to both
internal and external processes. This book focuses on an important
entrepreneurship trend that is growing, but has not yet undergone
thorough research, and as such, is key for anyone wishing to
understand the topic. This would be a stimulating and valuable read
for entrepreneurs, policymakers and students looking to enter
accelerators. Contributors include: M. Bliemel, M.G. Colombo, S. de
Klerk, I. Drori, R. Flores, J.-Y. Fu, J. Gonzalez-Uribe, J. Koch,
M. Leatherbee, M.P. Miles, C. Rossi-Lamastra, J. Van Hove, I.
Vanaelst, L. Vandeweghe, M. Wenzel, M. Wright, R. Yitshaki
