Acknowledgments

As editor of this book on entrepreneurial opportunities, I am very grateful to colleagues who helped review the chapters and provided suggestions. Due to the large number of colleagues involved in this process and the anonymity of the review process they cannot be identified but I thank them for their help and service. I also thank the chapter authors for their perseverance and response to the idea about doing a book focusing on entrepreneurial opportunities. The chapter authors of this book through their collective help made this book a reality.

I also wish to acknowledge the support of my family, Kaye, David, Stuart, Hamish, and Sakura Ratten. In particular, I thank my mum Kaye for her entrepreneurial spirit. When she was 21 years old she owned her first business, a hairdressing salon in Brunswick Street, Brunswick, Melbourne. After living in Brisbane and Pittsburgh, we returned to Melbourne and it was nice to see the area where my mum had her first business. It is amazing to think about what my mum achieved at such a young age and her other business ventures throughout her life. It was my mum who first spurred my interest in entrepreneurship and especially the role of entrepreneurs in society.
