“Veland Ramadani, Shqipe Gërguri-Rashiti and Alain Fayolle have addressed an important topic particularly for academics, government officials, and business people in their book Female Entrepreneurship in Transitional Economies. Appropriate authors from a variety of countries and positions were selected to look at the important aspects of this topic from different cultural views. As such, the book provides a comprehensive picture of the issues involved from both a theoretical and an empirical perspective. The book contributes to the understanding of one of the most important and strongest economic engines in a transition economy – the female entrepreneur.” —Robert D. Hisrich, Thunderbird School of Global Management, USA “Women’s entrepreneurship is a rapidly growing phenomenon in transition economies. For the first time, this new book offers in-depth analysis of the challenges and opportunities women entrepreneurs encounter as they launch and grow businesses and, more importantly, strive to achieve equality in the business world. The research provides a foundation for understanding women’s entrepreneurship from multiple perspectives and has implications for women, their businesses and country policies. This is a great reference for educators, policy-makers and entrepreneurs.” —Candida Brush, Babson College, USA “Here is a new, fresh book on female entrepreneurship, still an underestimated topic by researchers and policy-makers, especially in the specific conditions in transition economies. This book gives some additional insights on the field from authors from different countries. They research and discuss almost all important issues of female entrepreneurship like the nature of female entrepreneurship and its performance, problems and challenges, credibility of female entrepreneurship, gender inequality, innovativeness, motivation problems and challenges and need of stronger institutional support. So, I would like to recommend this valuable book to researchers, entrepreneurs (not only women, but also men),
