Summary

This book examines entrepreneurship from three interrelated perspectives. First, it links entrepreneurship to innovation and to the generation, transformation and use of knowledge. Second, it inserts entrepreneurship in innovation systems of various types. Third, it views entrepreneurship not as a single event but as process that evolves in time, from the pre-entry experience, to the entrepreneurial event act, to the evolution of the entrepreneur and the new company.The book aims to answer the following questions. What are the main dimensions of knowledge intensive entrepreneurship? What are the factors affecting its emergence, evolution and performance? How important is knowledge intensive entrepreneurship for European growth and competitiveness? Is the situation of Central and Eastern Europe, engaged in a process of major economic and institutional transformation, similar or different from the one of Western Europe?
