Review Entrepreneurship: Perspectives on Theory Building / Pergamon Press Inc:Hardbound. The phenomenon of entrepreneurship has been studied for over 200 years, but only recently has a theoretical framework begun to emerge. Building on Schumpeter's definition of the entrepreneur as one who 'creates value by carrying out new combinations causing discontinuity', the authors of this volume take a major step forward in the continuing effort to generate an integrated theory of entrepreneurship. In the process, they also do much to promote a more holistic view of entrepreneurial firms and their dynamics than has been the case in previous studies. The book is cast in the form of debate, each of the main papers being followed by an extended comment from another leading researcher in the author's field. Contributions across a variety of disciplines create new and fruitful theoretical perspectives which will enrich research in entrepreneurship.

Review Management of Technology, Sustainable Development and Eco-Efficiency: Selected Papers from the Seventh International Conference on Management of Technology / Pergamon:Hardbound. This book is a collection of the best papers presented at the Seventh International Conference on the Management of Technology held in Orlando, Florida, February 16th to 20th 1998. All papers were evaluated by at least two referees and both referees needed to agree on the high quality of a paper for it to be included in these proceedings. The papers cover a vast array of topics and the authors come from the four corners of the globe. This is a strong indication that technology management is a very real preoccupation in many countries. The book is divided into four major sections. The first section brings together the conceptual papers, papers that deal with the management of technology as a whole, its definition, its evolution, its applications, and some of its specificities. The second section embraces other preoccupations with a very fundamental, recurring issue in the field: management of research and development, which continues to be a.

Review Steel City: Entrepreneurship, Strategy, and Technology in Sheffield 1743-1993 / Oxford University Press, USA:The book focuses on the historical evolution of firms, and industry leaders and their strategies. Sheffield's experience is then related to current historical and economic debates about industrial structure, entrepreneurship and UK decline. Sheffield is revealed (with some important qualifications) as a remarkably enduring and successful center; and also a highly complex one, which cannot be fitted easily into present theories of mass production and entrepreneurial failure.

Review Local and Regional Development / Routledge:Local and regional development is an increasingly global issue. For localities and regions, the challenge of enhancing prosperity, improving wellbeing and increasing living standards has become acute for localities and regions formerly considered discrete parts of the "developed" and "developing" worlds. Amid concern over the definitions and sustainability of "development," a spectre has emerged of deepened unevenness and sharpened inequalities in the development prospects for particular social groups and territories. Local and Regional Development engages and addresses the key questions: what are the principles and values that shape definitions and strategies of local and regional development? What are the conceptual and theoretical frameworks capable of understanding and interpreting local and regional development? What are the main policy interventions and instruments? How do localities and regions attempt to effect development in practice? What kinds of local and regional development should we be pursuing?Local and Regional Development addresses the fundamental issues of "what kind of local and regional development and for whom?," frameworks of understanding, and instruments and policies. Local and Regional Development outlines what a holistic, progressive and sustainable local and regional development might constitute before reflecting on its limits and political renewal. With the growing international importance of local and regional development, this book is an essential student purchase, illustrated throughout with maps, figures and case studies from Asia, Europe, and Central and North America.

Review International Comparative Issues in Government Accounting: The Similarities and Differences between Central Government Accounting and Local Government Accounting within or between Countries / Springer:Due to the developments in the role of governments, the importance of government accounting and financial reporting is increasing. This led to changes in Government Accounting all over the world. For institutional, public finance and other reasons this has not always been done for central governments and regional and local governments in the same way. Some countries maintain the cash basis, some changed over to the accrual basis. Many of them started at first with lower government levels, only few changed over completely. Comparative Issues in Government and Accounting aims to give insight in the array of different patterns the world shows with respect to government accounting and financial reporting. Of course a complete overview would have been too ambitious a goal. This book brings together an interesting number of academics coming from a representative number of countries to get an impression of the situation and especially of the existence and the backgrounds of similarities and differences. Thirty-five authors and co-authors produced 21 chapters reflecting on the situations in 16 countries on 4 continents. Countries dealt with are Albania, Australia, Belgium, China, Egypt, Finland, France, Japan, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Russia, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States.
