Edited by Päivi Eriksson, Professor, Business School, University of Eastern Finland, Ulla Hytti, Professor of Entrepreneurship, Department of Management and Entrepreneurship, University of Turku, Katri Komulainen, Professor of Psychology, School of Educational Sciences and Psychology, University of Eastern Finland, Tero Montonen, Associate Professor, Business School, University of Eastern Finland and Päivi Siivonen, Senior Researcher, Docent in Adult Education, School of Educational Sciences and Psychology, University of Eastern Finland, Finland<i>‘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.’</i>
