Jack, Lancaster University Management School (LUMS), UK. This indispensable Handbook offers a fresh look at entrepreneurship research, addressing what we already know, and what we still need to know, in the field. Over the course of 17 chapters, a collaboration of 24 highly regarded researchers, experts in their fields, provide an insightful new perspective on the future of the study of entrepreneurship. They show that there is a need to redesign research in the field - enacting entrepreneurship out of the box - and to consider the history of entrepreneurship whilst developing the future course for research. They also underline the importance of developing research at the crossroads of different fields and the need to explore new domains and/or revisit e ...

The aim of this paper is to propose some perspectives in entrepreneurship research based on an analysis of existing knowledge and the results of a study recently conducted with a sample of experts and professionals in the field. The conclusions of the research as well as our contribution, underline the necessity to reconsider the object of study in order to increase knowledge in the field of entrepreneurship. It seems essential to us that more research should be focused on the entrepreneurial process and the very close combination of the entrepreneur and the entrepreneurial project.

The question of whether entrepreneurs are made or born is one that has been the subject of many studies in the entrepreneurial field. Education initiatives in entrepreneurship show a belief in the possibility of developing entrepreneurial skills through appropriate programs. Now, do various programs have different impact on students' propensity to start a business? The research presented here aims at identifying the variables which provide an understanding of the influence exerced by entrepreneurship courses. We collected data from 25 "Grandes Ecoles" (French Business School) and qualified their objectives when setting up such programs, as well as the means dedicated to them. Simultaneously, we submitted to our respondents (entrepreneurship programs managers) a Likert scale evaluating their perception of the direct and indirect impact of the courses. We conclude with a proposition to better anticipate the effects that can be expected from such course offerings, including dimensions which are often underestimated such as the strategic positioning of the schools.
