‘This book expands the boundaries of the many different roles academics and academic institutions play in both furthering and hindering entrepreneurship (as construed in a variety of forms and methods) in a variety of contexts for a variety of individuals engaged in the practices of entrepreneurship. A major value of this book is that it challenges the academic ecosystem to consider a more expansive view of what entrepreneurship is, who is engaged in these different forms of entrepreneurship, and, to recognize that these varieties of entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship already exist and can flourish, if we are willing to let go of our misguided preconceptions and misunderstandings.’
