‘As a counterweight to the voluminous research on entry and growth, this book on entrepreneurial exit is both timely and valuable. Can we really gain a deep understanding of entrepreneurship without also considering exit? I could not think of two better people to create this book – Professors DeTienne and Wennberg have been instrumental in developing our collective knowledge on entrepreneurial exit and in this book, they have brought together a collection of chapters that offer many new and wonderful insights into entrepreneurial exit.’ -- Dean A. Shepherd, David H. Jacobs Chair in Strategic Entrepreneurship, Kelley School of Business, Indiana University, Bloomington, and Editor-in-Chief, Journal of Business Venturing
