<i>‘This textbook is not only firmly grounded in cutting edge research on entrepreneurship; it is also based on extensive practical experiences illustrated through many examples and mini cases. What makes </i>Entrepreneurship in Theory and Practice<i> particularly useful and powerful is that it covers both the most important parts of the entrepreneurial process and discusses the importance of context and types of entrepreneurship. My students also enjoy the paradox perspective that the authors use to integrate the different parts of the book. This perspective opens unique opportunities for reflection and is a major reason why this textbook works so well for entrepreneurship students at bachelor, MSc and MBA levels alike.’</i>
- Mattias Nordqvist, Stockholm School of Economics, Sweden,
<i>‘The </i>Paradoxes in Play<i> textbook is unique in the way that it encourages students to think more critically about both the phenomenon and theories of entrepreneurship. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to challenge their students.’</i>
- Paul Steffens, The University of Adelaide, Australia,
<i>‘Entrepreneurship theories come to life in this book! With a refreshing experiential learning approach, readers are invited to engage with the complexities of different theories and apply them in real life.’</i>
- Elco van Burg, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, the Netherlands,
<i>‘Centered on entrepreneurial action, this updated edition invites students, researchers, and aspiring entrepreneurs to explore entrepreneurship theory and practice. Retaining its broad, global and reflective approach, it is an essential reference for the whole entrepreneurship community.’</i>
- Alexander Brem, University of Stuttgart, Germany,
