Understanding Enterprise by Simon Bridge
Now in its fifth edition, Understanding Enterprise has established itself as one of the most widely respected guides to the discipline, providing a refreshingly perceptive approach to understanding and applying theory.This book challenges a lot of our perceived knowledge on SMEs and entrepreneurs as well as the nature of policy interventions, emphasising as it does that knowledge creation is a process of questioning conventional wisdom. Reading this textbook is important if you want to be part of the process of new knowledge creation. * Anders Lundström, Institute of Innovative Entpreneurship, Sweden *
