    It is axiomatic that entities which bring together the factors of production play a vital role in any national economy. But, while entrepreneurial ventures may be a source of growth and innovation, they also face many challenges. In particular, access to finance can place particular constraints on a young firm’s ability to flourish and develop. Moreover, entrepreneurial firms are often operated in a haphazard manner; their internal processes are unsystematic. Planning, forecasting, and budgeting processes are either not well developed or, in some cases, non-existent.

    Now, to help advanced students and researchers make sense of an enormous—and growing—corpus of scholarship and practical thinking on the principles that underpin entrepreneurial finance, and the many associated issues and controversies that this topic generates, Routledge announces Entrepreneurial Finance, a new addition to its acclaimed Critical Concepts in Finance series. Edited by Darek Klonowski, Professor of Business Administration at Brandon University and a private-equity professional, this four-volume set is a ‘mini library’ that brings together the foundational and the very best cutting-edge research.

    Furnished with a comprehensive introduction, newly written by the editor, which places the assembled materials in their historical and intellectual context, Entrepreneurial Finance is an essential collection, and is certain to be recognized as a vital one-stop resource.
