Despite the 1990s boom in entrepreneurship programs offered in business schools, there have been questions about their legitimacy since their inception. West (Wake Forest U., Winston-Salem,
North Carolina) introduces the issues occupying this volume’s 16 essays in the context of the current trend of expanding such courses and programs beyond business schools. International
contributors provide perspectives on such problems as disciplinary bias against business as being more vocational than academic even by inter- disciplinary studies, budgetary constraints to
adding new programs, and negative media perceptions of entrepreneurship. They make philosophical and practical cases justifying such cross-campus programs and present advice on implementing
them, even if an institution is not interested in becoming an ＂entrepreneurial university＂ as is the focus of one case study. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
