Acknowledgments

This book about entrepreneurship as a form of empowerment takes a positive view about the role of entrepreneurship in society. This is important as increasingly countries and regions are emphasizing the power of entrepreneurship in society. However, as the chapters in this book demonstrate entrepreneurship often occurs via knowledge spillovers and entrepreneurial ecosystems. Thus, it is important to look at the collective way various members of society become entrepreneurial. Editing this book took a large amount of time and effort but was worth the effort. I am grateful to the authors for their hard work in writing and revising the chapters to make them of a high standard. I also thank Niall Kennedy for his excellent and timely guidance in making this book a reality. On a personal note, I thank my family Kaye, David, Stuart, Hamish and Sakura Ratten for their support. Most of all I grateful to my mum for being my mum but also for the fond memories of going on weekends to the beaches at Brunswick Heads and the Gold Coast. My mum always believed in the power of entrepreneurship and its necessity in society so for these reasons I dedicate this book to her.
