European countries have different entrepreneurial cultures and differences are reflected in the training programmes, curriculum structure, and the methods of training and evaluation adopted. Terminology differs according to culture and this makes transnational exchange of knowledge and research in the field difficult.

Given the limitation of growth opportunities within national boundaries in small economies and among firms operating in niche markets in particular, the logical continuation of this aim would be to grow internationally. However, research has demonstrated that not all small firms seek growth, and that the ones that do may also focus on regional and domestic markets (Heinonen et al. 2004, Nummela et al. ...

Citizens are keen to know that their taxes are well spent on effective public policies. For this reason policy-makers need to conduct evaluations–systematic research–to find out what has happened in order to pass judgment on the policy (Venetoklis, 2002). This does not mean, however, that evaluations are necessary only in the public sector. If hundreds of millions of euros are spent on management training and ...

First, the case studies presented are concerned with problematical issues that are pertinent to students of entrepreneurship. Thus they constitute appropriate teaching and learning vehicles on a variety of postgraduate and undergraduate programmes. Each case study is accompanied by a set of guidelines for the use of tutors. Second, it is envisaged that those engaged in entrepreneurial activities will find the cases ...

Consequently, the technology incubators should segment the client firms in order to provide the right services for the right firms. In this paper, firstly, we investigate which are the firms that seem to benefit the most from the incubator. Secondly, we investigate if the firms that should benefit from the incubator are actually able to claim these benefits. Our findings suggest that the relatively young firms that have not extended ...
