Geoffrey Tweedale, University of Sheffield, Business History, Oct '92

"A masterpiece in covering the complex aspects of entrepreneurship....Takes the concept out of the theoretical and into the real world of firm creation and growth."--James M. Howell, President, The Howell Group "Entrepreneurs in High Technology provides insight into new enterprise development--the founders, their companies, and the environments from which they were born. Whether engineer, executive, or economist, there is much to learn from this rich compendium of findings assembled by a lucid writer who is both participant and observer of new enterprise development."--David J. Teece, Director, Center for Research in Management, University of California, Berkeley "There's more knowledge about high technology entrepreneurship between Ed Roberts's ears than anywhere else in the world. His new book glistens with the insights of the grand, not so old, man of the field. It will become an instant classic."--Modesto A. (Mitch) Maidique, President, Florida International University "A mine of useful material for industrial historians interested in the role of entrepreneurship, especially where this is considered in a regional or high-technology setting."--Business History "The book's life's work approach and highly visible subject base virtually guarantees it classic status....It is an achievement that justifiably took an academic lifetime to build, and the result is worth it."--Journal of Management
