Note:"Sources of Knowledge and Entrepreneurial Behavior delves into the nature and importance of the relationship--between sources of knowledge and entrepreneurial behavior, which will be of interest to both academics and policy-makers. David B. Audretsch and Albert N. Link use the Knowledge Spillover Theory of Entrepreneurship as the conceptual foundation for why individuals decide to become entrepreneurs. Then, using a database of more than 4,000 small and relatively new European companies from 10 different countries, called the AEGIS database, Audretsch and Link offer new insights about the relationship between knowledge sources and entrepreneurial behavior."-- Provided by publisher.
