Summary
A collection of recent European research on the field of entrepreneurship, examining the performance of new ventures, processes and changing trends in family businesses in the 21st century. Written for students and scholars of business, finance and entrepreneurship, this book explains how small businesses have prospered in Europe over the last few years through the open exchange of ideas, new approaches to business analysis and strong support from government policies. These essays also address the small differences between these otherwise heterogeneous countries that can affect entrepreneurial success, and how research protocols can vary across these borders as well.
