Handbook of Research on Venture Capital A Globalizing Industry

'The second volume of the Handbook of Research on Venture Capital provides an important guidepost for venture capital researchers. As Landström and Mason point out, the nature of venture capital has changed dramatically over the last ten years. the asset class as a whole has failed to return principal and the old model is under tremendous strain. the contributors nicely highlight many of these changes, especially how venture capital has scaled beyond the US. for those of us active in venture capital research, the chapters raise many interesting research questions that deserve further attention.' - Andrew Zacharakis, Babson College, US
