From the reviews:“The challenge is to nurture entrepreneurial skills and ambitions in science and engineering academic students in the hope that they will consider the starting of a new business based on their research as a compelling alternative to more traditional employment opportunities. The book by Seifert, Leleux and Tucci addresses this challenge. … designed as a teaching support for courses on science-based entrepreneurship and it primarily targets engineering and science students. … designed to help students explore the most relevant issues in science-based start-ups.” (Luca Iandoli, International Small Business Journal, Vol. 27 (5), November, 2009)“The book focuses on science based ventures that originate in technological break throughs, but entrepreneurs from all backgrounds can learn from it. Nurturing Science-Based Ventures charts the development of a new venture through five chapters … . provides a useful text to accompany teaching. … accessible reference work for managers in knowledge-based industries, entrepreneurs from all business sectors, and stakeholders in business incubation processes. … It would add value to postgraduate reading lists … .” (Simon Stephens, The International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Vol. 11 (3), 2010)
