N2  - "Entrepreneurship research often presupposes similarities between national contexts despite evidence of extensive differences. This timely study focuses on the important issue of new venture creation using a variety of data sources, methods and theories." "The authors demonstrate the factors that aid or hinder new venture creation in a number of settings. The empirical context underpinning this research is Sweden - a small open economy with a renowned quality of data that allows important research questions to be uniquely addressed with great concern for relevance and policy implications."--BOOK JACKET
