Synopsis

In putting together this three-volume reader of previously published articles, Wright (financial studies, Nottingham U. Business School, UK), Sapienza (entrepreneurship, U. of Minnesota, US), and Busenitz (management, U. of Oklahoma, US) aimed to demonstrate the disciplinary diversity of the academic literature on the venture capital market and identify the leading contributions from the past couple decades. They also sought to highlight international differences in venture capital markets. The first volume follows an introduction summarizing the main contributions of the collected papers in the set with 17 papers covering systemic macro-perspectives, policy issues, and sources of funds for venture capital investment. The next two volumes adopt a venture capital life-cycle approach in addressing the behavior of venture capital firms. The 22 papers of volume two include discussions of deal generation, screening, and assessment; valuation and structuring; and strategies of venture capital firms. Volume three contains 26 papers considering post-investment involvement issues such as monitoring and protecting value as well as relational perspectives of investor-entrepreneur issues and examinations of harvesting and exits.

Review

`. . . provides an interesting insight into the field of venture capital research. . . a valuable collection of papers. . . This collection represents a major, and necessary, retrospective overview of US and US-inspired venture capital research from the standpoint of the year 2000 peak in the venture capital market.' -- Richard Harrison, International Small Business Journal `The editors are well placed, given their own substantial work on the subject, to produce an authoritative collection of articles on venture capital. They have assembled all of the influential articles on venture capital in an accessible and well structured set of three volumes. Quite simply, I doubt whether this collection of articles could be bettered in either structure or content - it is a must read/purchase for anybody interested in the subject of venture capital.' -- Kevin Keasey, University of Leeds, UK `This volume provides a comprehensive and very useful compilation of academic research on venture capital. As such, it is a great resource for researchers interested in venture capital.' -- Steven N. Kaplan, University of Chicago Graduate School of Business, US
