Description
Entrepreneurship: From Opportunity to Action connects theory and practice in a whole new way. Other Entrepreneurship texts are primarily research and theory oriented, and simply tack on real-world examples, while this book offers a stronger practical approach. It focuses on learning for, rather than about enterprise.
