Entrepreneurship: a very short introduction

There is a lot of interest in entrepreneurs in the popular media, as well as in the business, politics and education sectors. But what do entrepreneurs do? What is the significance of what they do? This book from the “Very Short Introduction” series reviews an aspect of the discussions dealing with the entrepreneurship process, to provide us with a guide to this process. The authors look at how entrepreneurs’ activities are shaped by the external environment and access to resources, examine the types of organizations in which entrepreneurs can exist, examine the diversity of their backgrounds and experiences, and shed light on how they think and learn. Finally, the authors examine the impact of entrepreneurs in modern market economies, and look at the future of entrepreneurship in our increasingly globalized world.
