'The importance of this volume is that it addresses the major pedagogical issues that inevitably arise in the context of entrepreneurship education. It represents a valuable source for those involved in the training and development of entrepreneurial skills and initiative.' -- Economic Outlook and Business Review 'Can entrepreneurship be taught? Is it an art or a science? How is entrepreneurship learned? Another masterpiece by the European masters Fayolle and Klandt, this volume - based on the 2003 Grenoble Conference - will be useful for years to come, among educators and policymakers alike, especially those open to the emerging paradigm.' -- Leo-Paul Dana, University of Canterbury, New Zealand
