about nascent entrepreneurship distilled from recent research. Wagner
?rst summarises evidence about the incidence of nascent
entrepreneurship before surveying the start-up activities of nascent
entrepreneurs. He then goes on to provide a “birds-eye view” of
the characteristics of nascent entrepreneurs; the factors associated
with becoming a nascent entrepreneur; and the outcomes of nascent
entrepreneurs, in terms of whether they start, quit or continue
preparing for eventual business entry. Wagner’s chapter provides a
wealth of information about nascent entrepreneurship, summarising key
?ndings from a large, fa- growing and diverse literature which looks
set to continue growing rapidly in the years ahead. In Chapter 3,
Shaker Zahra reviews the literature on new venture strategy and its
implications for organizational survival, ?nancial performance and
growth. Zahra discusses competitive, cooperative and political
strategies, and highlights the importance of synchronizing these
strategies. A particular strength of this chapter is its ability to
uncover similarities and unifying themes in apparently divergent
views. In this way, the chapter succeeds in
resolvingsomeapparentcontradictions
byputtingthedifferentperspectivesinto a complementary context and
identifying areas where convergence appears to be within reach. Zahra
goes on to highlight the contributions of the different strategic
approaches, as well as their shortcomings. He concludes by identifying
several implications for future research.
