Context is everything in entrepreneurship research. This book compellingly demonstrates the ways in which the distinctive European cultural, societal and geographic environments enable research into new entrepreneurial phenomena. It also gives guidance as to how future research should endeavour to understand the influences of context.

‘This is a wonderful book with so many interesting thoughts regarding the distinctiveness of European entrepreneurship research! The contributions focus on different and sometimes very surprising aspects of entrepreneurial contexts. The editors have done a superb job in putting together this book, which I consider a must-read for scholars that are interested in both the newest European entrepreneurship research and, even more importantly, its contribution to the context debate in the entrepreneurship field.’
