Newspapers & Magazines
Acclaim for First Edition:'The strength of this book is: It is pitched at a level suitable for students. . . who just want to go out and found their own businesses (or think that they do); it is written in a very friendly, supportive, non-intimidating style in which the authors empathise with the student - indeed, empathy is an interesting subtheme of some of the things they suggest about the successful entrepreneur.' --Mark Casson, University of Reading, UK

'Entrepreneurship in Theory and Practice is not your typical textbook in entrepreneurship. The authors have taken a very creative look at the seeming contradictions that make up the creation of a new business venture. Their use of current research as well as thought provoking cases to illustrate behaviors such as opportunity recognition make this book one that both professors and would be entrepreneurs should read.' --Alan L. Carsrud, Ryerson University, Canada
