The new series is intended to report on what has been learned about entrepreneurship in the various disciplines that have become interested of late in the phenomenon. In the first volume,
contributors from business, management, economics, and sociology survey the various areas of research as an introduction to subsequent volumes addressing particular issues. They cover the
entrepreneurial process, opportunity and the nature of exploitation, the emergence of new ventures, financing a new venture, the social context, and economic growth and policy. An introduction
explores the history and future of entrepreneurship, and an epilogue looks at connections between the study of it and theories of capitalist progress. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland,
