Review

'In summary, this edited book should be on the reading list of all those interested in learning more about entrepreneurship and context. Its reflection on the history of the discussion of entrepreneurship and context, the exploration of various time aspects and reflections on cognition and post-context lead to the outline of a research agenda shaping this research field for years to come.' -- Inge Hill, International Small Business Journal'Entrepreneurship is a context-based phenomenon and this certainly adds to the complexity of the field. Entrepreneurial action is the outcome of many contextual influences and entrepreneurs are influencing their environments. The relationship between entrepreneurship and context can be seen and studied in different ways and dimensions: spatial, industry, market, temporal, social and institutional. Obviously, there are big issues and challenges for entrepreneurship scholars in designing and doing relevant and interesting research aiming at a better understanding of the importance and the role of context in its different dimensions. In this new book, A Research Agenda for Entrepreneurship and Context, Friederike Welter and Bill Gartner have gathered an impressive list of influential scholars examining entrepreneurship as a contextual event in, among others, its historical, temporal and geographical dimensions. This masterpiece is a key milestone in this stream of research.' -- Alain Fayolle, Academy of Management Entrepreneurship Division and EMLYON Business School, France'In most of our entrepreneurial research, context is in the background of our stories, experiments and studies. An important aspect of understanding, but seldom our focus. Welter and Gartner move context into the spotlight, a variety of authors alternately engaging, challenging, reassuring and provoking with a multiplicity of perspectives on the topic. This important book motivates us to step outside our assumptions about context, re-think our methods, and learn to apply contexts and contextualization in our studies of entrepreneurship.' -- Candida Brush, Babson College'This book makes an original and welcome contribution to contemporary understanding of context and entrepreneurial behaviour. The editors and distinguished authors critically analyse a diverse range of contextual aspects which illustrate the complex and nuanced influence of this construct upon entrepreneurship. The chapters offer excellent overviews of key issues which advance thinking but also suggest future pathways for research. This text will make a welcome addition for those teaching in entrepreneurship whilst also offering thought-provoking well-informed debate for researchers and students.' -- Susan Marlow, University of Nottingham, UK
