The Portable MBA in Entrepreneurship

Now with more than a half-dozen titles, Wiley's well-received Portable MBA series continues to expand. Excellently edited and handy to use, these guides offer helpful overviews of current trends and thinking on a wide range of business topics. Bygrave, with both academic (Babson College) and business (a Boston high-tech corridor entrepreneur) backgrounds, has put together a roster of leaders in the field of entrepreneurial studies. More rigorous than the ubiquitous how-to-start-a-small-business books, this manual combines scholarly analyses of the entrepreneurial process and of the traits and characteristics of successful entrepreneurs with practical guidance on business plans, raising capital, legal and tax matters, intellectual property, etc. Recommended for all libraries.
