Howard E. Aldrich, Kenan Professor of Sociology, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, US

This much-needed book draws together Howard Aldrich’s key contribution to entrepreneurship research over recent decades.

‘Howard Aldrich. . . has been a significant factor in the growing interest in the application of evolutionary approaches to the study of entrepreneurship. . . A collection of his papers, accessible at one place, will naturally be of great interest to researchers and scholars of entrepreneurship. . . the book presents a valuable collection that should provide scholars with a sound base for further research in the application of evolutionary theories to the study of entrepreneurship.’
– Vijaya Sherry Chand, The Journal of Entrepreneurship

‘. . . the collection represents an archive of pioneering pieces that have shaped today’s rhetoric in the entrepreneurship space. . . To have a collection that maps the evolution of evolutionary theory, as well as present the genesis of entrepreneurial ventures as social entities, is both useful and practical for any reader.’
