Smallbone (Small Business Research Centre, Kingston U., UK), Landström (School of Economics and Management, Lund U., Sweden), and Jones-Evans (U. of Wales, UK) present a substantively and
methodologically heterogenous group of 15 papers from the November 2007 Research in Entrepreneurship (RENT) Conference. The papers were selected to demonstrate the applied nature of
entrepreneurship research and the relationship between entrepreneurship and local, regional, and national development. They are organized according to five main themes: regional perspectives on
entrepreneurship, new venture creation and growth, business exits, knowledge-based entrepreneurship, and entrepreneurship and social inclusion. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
