Entrepreneurial Management Theory and Practice (ePub)

"There is definitely no shortage of entrepreneurship books. To find one that is comprehensive enough, in both breadth and depth and yet at the same time, written in a clear and easy way for readers to judiciously absorb the very rich lessons, is quite rare. Making it even more unique, is to find one that also provides detailed guidance of how to use the book, that is firmly supported by a conceptual framework on 'Reading Order for Entrepreneurship.'"
