Trade Review
"I was excited to learn that Chuck Matthews and Ralph Brueggermann teamed up to produce a book on entrepreneurship and innovation. They did not disappoint. The word ‘entrepreneurship’ conjures up different images in people's minds, but it has become evident that the critical contribution of entrepreneurs is through innovation. Innovation and Entrepreneurship introduces readers to actions they can take in creating new ventures, innovating within larger organizations, and even in making societies more competitive." - Frank Hoy, Director of Collaborative for Entrepreneurship & Innovation at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, USA
