In this book, I summarize the results of several years of research on entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship policies carried out at Kozminski University, Warsaw, Poland. Many topics and findings presented therein stem from collaborative research undertakings. I am particularly thankful to my colleagues: Professor Eugene Kaciak (Kozminski University and Brock University, Canada), Professor André van Stel (Kozminski University and Trinity College Dublin, Ireland) and Dianne H.B. Welsh (University of North Carolina Greensboro, USA).
