This important three-volume collection focuses upon several major themes relating to the entrepreneur, the organisation and the environment for entrepreneurship. It includes articles that focus upon opportunity recognition and exploitation, creativity, risk and uncertainty, ability based on skills, competencies and knowledge, market adjustment, innovation and the ability to make calculated judgements. It makes an important distinction between the motivations, characteristics, roles and contributions of different types of entrepreneurs.
