'The editors have assembled a distinguished group of scholars to weigh in on a timely, important, and under-researched topic: the role of accelerators in venture creation and growth. The end result is a lucid and insightful book. This is a ''must read'' for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners with an interest in the role of incubators/accelerators in entrepreneurship and regional economic development.'
- Donald Siegel, Arizona State University, US

Understanding how accelerators build an entrepreneurial ecosystem, generate innovations and create new technologies is key for anyone wishing to nurture a start-up company. This book compares the success of accelerators in comparison to the independent growth of new companies or incubators through a series of in-depth studies.

Accelerators: Successful Venture Creation and Growth examines how the organisational structures and practices of start-up accelerators generate innovations and identify new technologies, products and services. Mike Wright and Israel Drori have developed an entrepreneurial approach to this topic, exploring accelerators and start-ups as temporary organisations. This allows the contributing authors to highlight issues relating to both internal and external processes.

This book focuses on an important entrepreneurship trend that is growing, but has not yet undergone thorough research, and as such, is key for anyone wishing to understand the topic. This would be a stimulating and valuable read for entrepreneurs, policymakers and students looking to enter accelerators.
