“The authors are exceptional in their development of conceptual frameworks that help the reader to get vivid insights and an understanding of entrepreneurship challenges and opportunities in South Africa and in the United States. . . . This book is extraordinary in that it focuses attention on the necessity of linking scholars around the globe, and addressing questions of growing economies that are unique to their environments.” - John Butler, Ph.D., Director of IC2, University of Texas at Austin
“The ability to pull together a compilation of multiple intellectuals from around the globe and arrive at an intersection of great ideas is beyond amazing—it is ingenious.” - Willie D. Larkin, Ph.D., Chief of Staff for the Chancellor’s Office, UW Colleges and UW-Extension
