Review
'Drucker now adds Innovation and Entrepreneurship to the remarkable series of books about management that he has been writing since 1939. Any book by Drucker is rewarding, and it is impossible to read the man without learning a lot'.

Clear explanation of Innovation. Its a practice.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Innovation and Entrepreneurship: Practice and Principles (Drucker series) (Paperback)
This book offers a clear and concise explanation of innovation and entrepreneurship. I learnt from this book that these skills can be learned, applied systematically and implemented with a high degree of sucess. Entrepreneurship is not a risk taking venture but an opportunity seeking venture.

A Classic work by the Expert,
By Paul Sloane "Author of The Innovative Leader ... (Camberley, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Innovation and Entrepreneurship (Classic Drucker Collection) (Paperback)
This book was written in 1985 by the leading management expert of the 20th century. It stands the test of time as a comprehensive and deeply thought work on the factors that lead to successful innovation and entrepreneurship. He identifies seven key opportunities for innovation; the unexpected, incongruities, process need, industry structures, demographics, changes in perception and new knowledge. He gives good illustrative examples for each. He then advises on the practice and strategy of entrepreneurship. The book is a little dry and dense and the examples are inevitably not recent. However, it contains many wonderful insights and remains the classic work in this field. Highly recommended.

THE BEST ENTREPRENEURIAL BOOK EVER,
By A Customer
This review is from: Innovation and Entrepreneurship: Practice and Principles (Paperback)
I have wanted to be an entrepreneur since I was a small boy, and have read and studied everything I could ever find on the subject. I use this book as my foundation for planning all of my entrepreneurial activities. Over the years, INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP has stimulated me to develop new ideas that have earned our company large revenues and our clients (we are a management consulting firm that develops the next generation of management best practices) tens of billions in higher stock prices. What this book does is take "the random chasing after every opportunity" that all entrepreneurs are prone to do, and creates a system to distill the opportunities into the best ones and identify what needs to be done to capture the benefits. Just when you feel lost in the woods, you can pull this book out and it will unerringly point you in the right direction. This is a major breakthrough in terms of turning innovation and entrepreneurship from total art into something reasonably systematic and predictable in creating success. Good luck with applying these timeless principles and strategies to your business! To see this book in perspective, please read about it in Jack Beatty's masterpiece, THE WORLD ACCORDING TO PETER DRUCKER, a book that gives you an indispensable reader's guide to all of Professor Drucker's work.
