Sexton, William H. Davis Chair of American Free Enterprise System, Ohio State University "This book is a 'keeper.' The entrepreneur will be referring to it through the startup process and long afterward. This will be the bible for those who want to create and grow their own ventures." —Frank Hoy Dean, College of Business Administration, University of Texas, El Paso With the global marketplace now a reality, entrepreneurs and small businesses are seizing opportunities at a rate never before equaled. New markets emerge almost daily, offering boundless potential to those with the vision to see them, the courage to pursue them, and the persistence to capture them. But a keen eye, a strong heart, and a tenacious temperament do not guarantee success in this swirling maelstrom of competition. You'll also need a generous supply of the most precious commodity in the global marketplace—knowledge. The Portable MBA in Entrepreneurship, Second Edition equips real-world entrepreneurs with the same state-of-the-art business knowledge and information taught to MBA candidates in top business schools. William Bygrave has reassembled his all-star team of professors, consultants, and entrepreneurs to expand and update this bestseller. Every chapter is brought into step with the times through a host of new case studies and examples, and the changing legal, tax, and regulatory climates for small businesses and entrepreneurs are examined and explained as well. New and updated topics covered in this indispensable Second Edition include: Using the Internet as both a source of opportunities and a resource for generating additional revenues Discovering the perfect business opportunity Creating a business plan Financing a business with venture capital or debt financing Managing for growth Protecting intellectual property Harvesting your business Amazingly, while The Portable MBA in Entrepreneurship, Second Edition brings you the collective wisdom of some of the top guns in the academic and business worlds, you don't need an academic background to understand it.
