IT entrepreneurs in Israel, Ireland, India, Poland, Hungary, the US, Australia, and the UK are the subject of the studies in this volume. The chapters, written by specialists in psychology,
sociology, management, economics, and ethnography, report on research of entrepreneurs and their companies, with analysis on what motivates them, whether they're in economically stable or
unstable environments, where their employees come from, and other issues, as well as practical and contextual factors such as education and financing. Gender, cross-cultural comparisons, and
specific business behavior of entrepreneurs are the subject of some papers, and a group of 6 papers delves into national and comparative perspectives. The result is a thought-provoking addition
to scholarship of entrepreneurship. Annotation 穢2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
