  • Leadership and Entrepreneurship, edited by two experts in the field, contains the writings of some impressive authorities...Collectively, they focus on the entrepreneur's views from a personal and organizational perspective. Most notable, the reader will gain insight into what makes entrepreneurs tick--especially the successful ones, and how the individual affects his/her organization's development. In a way, the book is reminiscent of Stephen Covey's Seven Habits of Highly Effective People (1989). Recommended for lower-division undergraduates and above, researchers, entrepreneurs, and any aspiring entrepreneur.

Description: This book presents the expertise of authorities on leadership and entrepreneurship. They examine the entrepreneur from a personal, organizational, and multidimensional point of view. In addition, successful entrepreneurs from profit and not-for-profit firms, from hardware and software firms, and from manufacturing and service firms joined with assistance providers, academicians, and researchers to bring a firmer understanding of the qualities that contribute to successful leadership in growth-oriented firms. By emphasizing what entrepreneurs actually do, how they do it, and what can be learned by examining the common themes or concepts that exist in the practice of entrepreneurship, the editors have created a volume of value to researchers and academics in business and management, to public policy makers, and to the business community.
