This Handbook examines the diverse methodologies and philosophies employed in research on entrepreneurship, small enterprises and family businesses. Exploring fundamental questions involved in data collection, this new and updated edition emphasises the increased importance of understanding the nuances of methods and applications in today's research landscape.

They identify fruitful research directions for emerging and seasoned scholars, demonstrating how to produce work that is both practical and theoretically important. Covering both quantitative and qualitative techniques, this Handbook is an essential resource for students and scholars of entrepreneurship.
