'Entrepreneurship, Universities & Resources <i>provides insights into emerging research in entrepreneurship. It rewards the reader with interesting empirical, methodological and theoretical insights across a range of topics important to researchers and teachers of entrepreneurship.'</i>

- Colm O'Gorman, Dublin City University, Ireland,

The role of resources is pivotal in entrepreneurship for the success of new and small ventures, though most face resource constraints. The book offers multiple perspectives on analyzing and understanding the importance of resources in entrepreneurship development.

Approaching the subject with both a practice-theory and research-based approach, the contributors analyse topics such as processes and structures in social entrepreneuring; entrepreneurship and equity in crowdfunding; and forming alliances with large firms to overcome resource constraints. The contributors provide evidence, for example, on how business angels can contribute more than finance to small ventures and how the flexibility of resources is important in internationalisation.

Students and scholars of entrepreneurship, business and management, and other related subjects will find this book to be of interest. It will also be of use to practitioners in the field looking for practical advice.
