Handbook of Measures for International Entrepreneurship Research

Multi-Item Scales Crossing Disciplines and Contexts

Research Handbooks in Business and Management series

Edited by Nicole Coviello, Betty and Peter Sims Professor of Entrepreneurship and Professor of Marketing, Lazaridis School of Business and Economics, Wilfrid Laurier University, Canada and the late Helena Yli-Renko, formerly Orfalea Director's Chair in Entrepreneurship, Lloyd Greif Center for Entrepreneurial Studies, Marshall School of Business, University of Southern California, US

The Handbook of Measures for International Entrepreneurship Research is a user-friendly collection of multi-item measures developed and used in the research of international entrepreneurship and important areas related to it: international business, entrepreneurship, marketing, strategy, and innovation.

‘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

‘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.’
