Academics in management, sociology, business administration, and planning present current research and discuss future developments in entrepreneurship theory and studies, in these papers from a
November 1998 conference held in Newport Beach, California (plus additional papers). Some subjects discussed include the role of immigrant entrepreneurs in new venture creation, commercializing
university inventions and research, and social movement theory and the evolution of new organizational forms. Schoonhoven teaches organization and strategy at the University of
California-Irvine; Romanelli directs the Global Entrepreneurship Program at Georgetown University. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
