Readers can change their lives, perspectives and business models with this work."--Paula A. White"A solid, practical approach to entrepreneurship where the authors challenge students to think rather than just memorize for the exams."--Dr. Martin Bressler"A very good primer on business startups in the twenty first century. The book is practice oriented, well-written and includes a good overview of the key areas of importance for the budding entrepreneur."--Robert W. Robertson"I really like the chapter on design thinking; IT TEACHES STUDENTS HOW TO THINK (outside the box), to identify an idea and develop it."--Bill Zannini"I think the greatest strength of the book is that it is CLEAR YET INSIGHTFUL. It felt easy to read, while providing deep and important knowledge about entrepreneurship."--Laurent Josien"I think this book is STRONG, LEADING EDGE VIEW of modern entrepreneurship. The three chapters I reviewed did a wonderful job of presenting the entrepreneurial mindset, design thinking, and failing forward."--Charlie Nagelschmidt"I think [the coverage of learning from failure] is a welcome change! Students learn so much by hearing strategies of overcoming ′what went wrong′ and how to do it right the next time. I COMMEND THE AUTHORS for taking this approach and am glad that they included this vital part of the entrepreneurial process."--Amy Gresock"It SPEAKS FRANKLY ABOUT SUBJECTS in a personal manner that most other textbooks dont address--like worry and fear."--Timothy Ritter"Neck takes research and translates it into practical examples. This is a textbook that entrepreneurs will read. Essentially, I see this as the NEW PERFECT ENTREPRENEURSHIP TEXT."--Ryan Kauth"Only book that is updated and current, reflecting new developments in society in the era of internet/social media."--Ram Kesavan"Professors (and students) serious about entrepreneurship as a practice will choose this text."--Susan Berston"This is a good solid basic book that could be helpful to students as they become serious about entrepreneurship. This book isn′t full of fluff that isn′t useful. It is a book that provides students the opportunity to develop skills that will be useful as they begin to develop as entrepreneurs."--Nancy Kucinski Details ISBN1071884875 Author Emma L.
