Overall, this anthology demonstrates the breadth and scientific quality of European entrepreneurship research, adding to the accumulated body of knowledge published in previous anthologies. Specifically the book highlightsthe importance of both rigour and relevance in the field: research that is scientifically and theoretically sound but also of utility outside the academic arena. Certainly, this book demonstrates that both rigour and relevance is alive in this field of study. Many of the chapters in this book have agendas that are influenced by pragmatic questions as much as theoretical insights, showing that engaged research begins at the agenda-setting phase rather than an add-on at the end of a study. Additionally, the volume showcases interesting new work in the area of entrepreneurial behaviour and mindsets, intrapreneurship, family businesses, the role of prior experience or absence of it as a resource, funding and time allocation amongst freelances. Whilst the chapters are focused on specific issues, they all illustrate that excellent research can have implications for practice and policy.
