In Part two the discussion centres around a wide range of international case studies, including the role of networking in Japan, foreign direct investment in research and development as entrepreneurship, and the brewing industry in the UK.;Multidisciplinary in scope, this volume demonstrates that there is no single way to conduct research. The contributions illustrate the evolution of focus from the study of individual entrepreneurs, firms and countries to the embedding of such players in the wider context of organizational, regional and global environments and tracing the interactions between them.
