Foundations of High Impact Entrepreneurship examines:

• the question “why do people choose to become entrepreneurs” from the perspective of labor market theories on occupational choice.
• the role of entrepreneurship and innovation, paying particular attention to the various modes of available entrepreneurial activity.
• the financing of entrepreneurial firms: the resources to them and the issues and limitations associated with various financing options.

Foundations of High Impact Entrepreneurship closes with a discussion of the policies that theory suggests will enhance entrepreneurial activity and where researchers should focus their efforts.
