Book Reviews

to focus on key points would be all valuable additions to this text. Moreover, the volume cannot be used as a stand-alone textbook but rather should be seen as a complementary text to more traditional course manuals. The main target group of this book is science and engineering students who mainly will have no previous background in economics and management. There-fore, one would expect a more gradual and detailed introduction to at least some of the basics in management and economics. Instead, the background part of each chapter is rather short in most chapters, which can be a serious learning obstacle for novices. A glossary of business and economics terms, appendixes or text tables to describe some of the basic concepts, plus lists of additional readings are some more examples of what could have been added to this book. This book has the merit of drawing attention to the specificity of teaching entre-preneurship to technical students and science-based start-ups. As such, it can be useful reading also for other groups such as managers of hi-tech companies and scholars generally interested in entrepreneurship education. Books in general als
