This insightful book examines the need to bridge the gap between scientific rigour in entrepreneurship research and its practical relevance to external stakeholders, and demonstrates clearly how this can be achieved in practice. Featuring cutting-edge research, Rigour and Relevance in Entrepreneurship Research, Resources and Outcomes presents and evaluates current critical approaches in the field, analysing their theoretical value and their relevance to policy and practice.

‘The Frontiers series offers a selection of the latest, cutting-edge research in entrepreneurship and small business in Europe. It has become a key resource for researchers, educators, entrepreneurs and policy makers interested in understanding entrepreneurship and the prosperity of SME’s.’
