Developed in connection with a larger project titled AEGIS (Advancing Knowledge Intensive Entrepreneurship and Innovation for Economic Growth and Social Well-being in Europe), this book focuses
on the type of entrepreneurship known also by the shortened name, KIE, as it manifests not only in technology-based ventures but also in low-tech industries. The broader model of KIE
investigates interactions and feedback loops among risk-taking processes, individuals, companies, and societies at large. The two authors are affiliated as follows: Maureen McKelvey (industrial
management, U. of Gothenburg, Sweden) and Astrid Heidemann Lassen (innovation management, Aalborg U., Denmark). A companion book by the authors presents 13 case studies relevant to the work
presented here. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
