CHOICE Review

International in scope, this comprehensive study of the entrepreneurial adventure guides the reader from the nature of entrepreneurship and creating a strategy through implementing a business concept and on to the actual selling of the business. Contributors are international academics and consultants, and they provide a broad view of the subject; this is a big plus of this volume, as it broadens the reader's horizons right from the beginning. Each topic is explained simply yet succinctly and illustrated with lively examples and description. Many who seek small business information tend to avoid academic discourse. This book is definitely for them. It presents good, solid information without delivering an esoteric lecture. Because small business enterprises need a global perspective in order to survive in the next century, this volume is a valuable resource for the entrepreneur at any stage of development. Recommended without reservation for public, academic, and professional business collections. F. Andrews Middlesex Community-Technical College
