Edited by Albert N. Link,Professor Emeritus and former Virginia Batte Phillips Distinguished Professor, University of North Carolina at Greensboro, US<i>'This is the fourth volume in Edward Elgar's excellent series </i>The International Library of Entrepreneurship<i>, edited overall by David Audretsch. The stated purpose of the series is to bring together key articles from leading academics in specific areas, thereby providing a framework to underpin entrepreneurship as an important field of scholarship. . . it [this book] does stand up very well as an individual purchase in an important area that is not so well covered elsewhere. . . There is a great deal here that is accessible to the general reader, particularly one who is new to the area. . . As an academic, I would use it as a starting point for dissertation students at Master's and undergraduate levels, as well as Master's students on specialist courses in technology, its management and policy issues. . .'</i>

<i>'Too many policymakers have underestimated the fecundity of new and small enterprises in pushing outward the frontiers of technology. This volume collects a rich harvest of studies on small firms' technical contributions and how they are amplified through the support of university researchers and government.'</i>

This authoritative volume is divided into four parts: Government's Direct Support of R&D, Government's Leveraging of R&D, Government's Infrastructure Policies, and Knowledge Flows from Universities and Laboratories. Most of the journal articles are relatively new, being published since the mid- to late-1990s, but these key articles represent what could become the cornerstone for all future research related to entrepreneurship and technology policy.
