Overview
Over the last several decades there has been a growing interest in the relationship between entrepreneurship and university-industry collaboration, namely how such cooperation can benefit entrepreneurship development at individual, national, and regional levels. While there are several refereed journal articles on different aspects of university-industry cooperation, most studies dwell primarily on instruments such as spin-offs, incubators and graduate entrepreneurs. This collection offers the first book-length compendium of international comparative perspectives on university-industry cooperation. Entrepreneurship and Knowledge Exchange explores insights from a wide variety of countries of relevance to researchers as well as policy and decision makers, especially those working in developing economies. Seminal contributions from top academics in the field, such as Alan Gibb, Peter Scott, and Mary Walshok, are included. The issues of knowledge transfer, entrepreneurship, and regional/national economic regeneration have inspired countless programs and initiatives at national and regional levels, and the chapters in this book examine these initiatives, providing both a reference work and a record of practical experience.

Reviews
This book introduces and summarizes the fine work being done on the important intersection between higher education and entrepreneurship. It will be an indispensable tool for students of entrepreneurship, instructors and administrators, and government policymakers - all those interested in how entrepreneurship education can help entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship in a region. - David Ahlstrom, Chinese University of Hong Kong In an age when so much new knowledge is being generated and a growing population is hungrier than ever for progress (in many ways) the transfer of knowledge, the sharing of knowledge and the curricularisation of new knowledge by educational institutions is so very important if new and better ways of practice and behaviour are to become put to best possible use. This book may serve academics including teachers and researchers especially well, but as a practitioner I also found its rich panorama of topics, and the questions raised, very stimulating and thought provoking. There is something here for those doing the business for sure. - Allen Barrell , Turkish Economic Review
