This standout Handbook not only builds a compelling case for a more rigorous approach to research methods in international entrepreneurship research, but also explores the best practices in development, adaptation, use, and reporting of multi-item measures.

'This handbook is novel. It brings together in a single volume, numerous measures (multi-item scales) on topics which scholars of international entrepreneurship will find very handy. Thus, it contributes in two ways - improved use of multi-item measures in quantitative research and enhanced focus towards interface disciplines. This volume is a must-have in every department where students (postgraduate and doctoral) conduct any form of research in the areas of international entrepreneurship, international business and entrepreneurship.' --Journal of Entrepreneurship'Developing valid and reliable measures is a minefield for most doctoral students and even experienced and accomplished scholars. The top-tier publication graveyard is littered with the ghosts of manuscripts and their authors tripped by poor construct measures. Coviello and Yli-Renko provide a ''toolkit'' of conceptually and empirically validated measures, their sources and from across a spectrum of disciplines and contexts to help you clear the minefield.' --Kwaku Atuahene-Gima, Nobel International Business School, Ghana
