Review :
This well-structured, highly engaging text has a comprehensive coverage of key topics in start-up entrepreneurship. Its practical approach provides useful guidance to students, and the cases and videos are valuable resources for lecturers. Yet another masterpiece by Paul Burns! The book touches on contemporary issues in the fi eld and it does so by bringing in the contexts of both advanced and developing economies. It covers key concepts from business idea, start-up to growth and maturity in a unique fashion. This must rank as one of the most comprehensive books in the area of entrepreneurship and small business management that I have come across. It should leave the reader with a thorough understanding as well as a useful set of tools and techniques. An exceptional treatise that I fully expect to use in my teaching, not only for undergraduate and graduate level students, but also those developing small businesses. Professor Burns has again brought to bear an inimitable writing style that effectively conveys vital information in a highly readable format. A very relevant handbook to inspire students in their entrepreneurial journey. Explanation on entrepreneurship theories is clear and thought provoking. The best part is that it has many cases and insights from all over the world!
