Both this book and the original volume are dedicated to the hard work and intellectual curiosity of our research colleagues in entrepreneurship. We also acknowledge the entrepreneurs in all corners of the Earth we have known that pushed us to study this as a field of knowledge. It is the entrepreneur that we must always keep in mind. It is this individual and their start-up teams that remain critical to the creation of new ventures.
