Ulijn (innovation, entrepreneurship, and culture, Eindhoven U. of Technology, The Netherlands) et al. assemble 12 research studies that examine issues linked to the emergence, cooperation, and survival of European start-ups, specifically those in the high-tech sector. European and American scholars, practitioners, and members of public institutions consider aspects relating to the firm; technology and innovation; sustainability at the institutional level; the role of the individual, including national culture and diversity; and the European context. The book does not deal with the pre-founding stage of a company. Many of the studies were drawn from papers given at a meeting presented at Montpellier Business School in France in March 2005 that was part of the research group SURVIE (Start Up Research and Valorization/Valuation of Intra- and Entrepreneurship in Europe). The book is aimed at innovation and entrepreneurship policy makers at government levels, those in research programs on entrepreneurship, innovation, and organizational change, and academics, researchers, and practitioners.
