Product Description

Financial Adviser
"Truly fascinating ... I would wholeheartedly recommend this book."

Review
Truly fascinating ... I would wholeheartedly recommend this book. (Financial Adviser )

The book is very useful for scholars and policy-makers who want to understand the crucial economic activity of starting and growing a business. (Urban Studies )

Any future theorising about the role and nature of the entrepreneur must take account of this book. (Financial Times )

The wealth of information contained in this book adds up to a very persuasive case and policy-makers (and all those interested in encouraging entrepreneurship) would do well to consider this book very carefully. (Community Affairs Briefing )

This book will find a welcome reception from business schools that are focussing on courses in entrepreneurship and may also appeal to corporate executives who are trying too instill an entrepreneurial spirit in their employees. (Booklist )

... the book is filled with useful and even startling insights based on exhaustive research." (The Standard (on-line) )

4.0 out of 5 stars Insightful!, 20 Jun 2001
By A Customer
The Origin and Evolution of New Businesses When Jann Wenner launched Rolling Stone magazine, he did no market research and considered himself merely an "amateur journalist." When Bill Gates and Paul Allen started Microsoft, they had no business plan, only a brainstorm that they should write a program in the BASIC computer language. Such seat-of-the pants planning is typical among entrepreneurs, says author Amar Bhide. Successful entrepreneurs don't need unique ideas and long resumes, Bhide writes. Rather, they must be able to adapt quickly to changing business conditions, and they must enter industries in a state of upheaval, where established players are lacking. Bhide offers a revealing look at the characteristics that make for successful start-ups. In spite of his often-dense prose, Bhide gives plenty of real-world examples to illustrate his concepts. We at getAbstract.com recommend this book to entrepreneurs and to those thinking of starting their own companies.
