Reviews

'Science and Technology Based Regional Entrepreneurship comprises a broad range of papers that provide a detailed overview of the development and state of regional science and technology (S&T) entrepreneurial activity. The book is of particular interest for policy practitioners as it aims to facilitate the development of policy and programme mechanisms for S&T. It provides readers with an insight into some of the best and most effective practices in stimulating regional entrepreneurial activity, new venture creation, and more generally, potential for generating future economic growth... This book provides a good overview of the diverse ways in which S&T entrepreneurial activity is encouraged in different environments. As a result, it provides a good one-stop shop for academics and practitioners alike who want to gain a quick overview of and insight into S&T activity across the world.' -- Sergej Ljubownikow, International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Innovation
