Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Dynamics of Knowledge Intensive Entrepreneurship
Franco Malerba · 2015
62/100
👎 Skip It
Malerba and his co-editors take a smart angle here, tying individual startup founders to the bigger innovation systems around them rather than treating entrepreneurship as a solo act. It's a legitimate academic contribution with international range, but it's dense economics writing built for graduate seminars, not casual reading. Worth it if you're in the field, skip it otherwise.
