<i>‘Entrepreneurship education is a rapidly growing research and teaching field. This volume offers a comprehensive and critical discussion of how to design and utilize the case method for increased entrepreneurial learning from a Nordic perspective. Containing both concepts and practices in case teaching as well as actual cases, the volume provides an outstanding collection of works that expands our understanding of case-based entrepreneurship education.’</i>

<i>‘While the case method is a long-standing approach to entrepreneurship education, this volume, for the first time, brings together a strong foundation of entrepreneurship education theory and perspectives, a deep analysis of approaches to the case method, and a contextual lens which focuses on the Nordic perspective. This is a perfect reference for those interested in learning practical techniques for teaching cases as well as for those desiring to develop deeper theoretical knowledge of the case methodology in entrepreneurship.’</i>

<i>‘This all-star team of entrepreneurship educators from across Scandinavia has assembled a comprehensive, engaging discussion of the many components of case education. The distinctly Nordic focus is apparent in the unique individual entrepreneur, company, and context case studies as well as in overarching conversations about best practices in teaching and learning, and is a must read for any entrepreneurship educator, whether preparing to teach for the first time, or an experienced educator looking for new tools and repertoires.’</i>

Informing and inspiring entrepreneurship educators, Part I employs theoretical perspectives and practical procedures related to case teaching in entrepreneurship education. Novel and innovative case methods for entrepreneurship education are explored as well as the theoretical foundations of case-based entrepreneurship education. Part II offers 15 Nordic case studies divided into three main groups relating to becoming an entrepreneur, early-phase venture creation, and acting entrepreneurially in established organisations.
Supplemented by online teaching notes, this thought-provoking book will be a valuable resource for entrepreneurship educators at higher education institutions. Questions and activities included in the case studies will also be useful for students with an interest in entrepreneurship.
