It brings together in a single volume, numerous measures (multi-item scales) on topics which scholars of international entrepreneurship will find very handy. Thus, it contributes in two ways - improved use of multi-item measures in quantitative research and enhanced focus towards interface disciplines. This volume is a must-have in every department where students (postgraduate and doctoral) conduct any form of research in the areas of international entrepreneurship, international business and entrepreneurship.'\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --\u003ci\u003eJournal of Entrepreneurship\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e'Developing valid and reliable measures is a minefield for most doctoral students and even experienced and accomplished scholars. The top-tier publication graveyard is littered with the ghosts of manuscripts and their authors tripped by poor construct measures. Coviello and Yli-Renko provide a ''toolkit'' of conceptually and empirically validated measures, their sources and from across a spectrum of disciplines and contexts to help you clear the minefield.'\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --Kwaku Atuahene-Gima, Nobel International Business School, Ghana\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents:  1.
