`The Handbook of Qualitative Research Methods in   Entrepreneurship is an unusually solid and multifaceted book on what   qualitative methods have done, are doing and will do in entrepreneurship   research. Every serious entrepreneurship scholar should read it. It points   at the future!'  - Bj?rn Bjerke, Malm? University and Stockholm University, Sweden    `I would warmly recommend this unique collection of qualitative methods of   entrepreneurship research to both mature and beginning researchers as a   menu to choose from for their planned empirical studies. For those who try   to get away from only quantitative studies in both business practice and   academic research, this book is their chance to find a rich inspiration in   reflecting on entrepreneurship as a lived experience using grounded theory   and ethnographic, discourse and narrative approaches. It might convince   editors of top journals of entrepreneurship research to welcome qualitative   research submissions as an indispensable complement to "quantitative only"   submissions. This domain is not physics. In bringing together such a   variety of experts from so many nationalities in this Handbook, our Danish   colleagues are making entrepreneurship research a realistic global   venture.'  - Jan Ulijn, Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands     `Helle Neergaard and John Parm Ulh?i have compiled a remarkable collection   of work that both represents the range of methods and demonstrates the   depth of insight that can be achieved through qualitative approaches. This   book is not simply a handbook of qualitative research methods, though it   well achieves this aim, it is also an important contribution towards the   field of entrepreneurship research.'   - From the Foreword by Sara Carter     This expansive and practical Handbook introduces the methods currently used   to increase the understanding of the usefulness and versatility of a   systematic approach to qualitative research in entrepreneurship. It fills a   crucial gap in the literature on entrepreneurship theory, and, just as   importantly, illustrates how these principles and techniques can be   appropriately and fruitfully employed.    The Handbook is underpinned by the belief that qualitative research has the   potential to charter hitherto unexplored waters in the field of   entrepreneurship and thus contribute significantly to its further   advancement. The contributors seek to assist entrepreneurship researchers   in making more informed choices and designing more rigorous and   sophisticated studies. They achieve this by providing concrete examples of   research experiences and tangible `how to' advice. By clarifying what these   research methods entail, how they are currently being used and how they can   be evaluated, this Handbook constitutes a comprehensive and highly   accessible methodological toolbox.    Dealing with both well-accepted qualitative approaches and lesser-known,   rarer and more novel approaches to the study of entrepreneurship, this   Handbook will be invaluable to those studying, researching and teaching   entrepreneurship.
