Recenzii
This
is
a
great
book,
a
book
that
I
long
have
searched
for
and
wanted
for
my
students.
What
I
particular
value
in
this
book
is
the
books
discussion
of
pro
and
cons,
and
how
it
allows
the
reader
to
evaluate
their
options.
The
book
offers
a
nice
and
balanced
introduction
to
the
variety
of
ways
one
could
engage
in
entrepreneurship,
both
in
practice
and
as
a
learner.
Part
I
takes
a
“how
to
do”
approach
aiding
the
reader
from
an
idea
search
to
an
emerging
new
venture.
Part
II
addresses
the
learners
need
for
guidance.
Through
the
tales
of
entrepreneurship
scholars,
cases,
elaborations
on
research
questions
and
methods,
the
learner
are
offered
a
way
into
exploring
essential
emerging
issues
in
entrepreneurship
research
themselves.
The
format
of
the
book
allows
me
as
a
teacher
in
entrepreneurship
subjects
to
assist
the
learning
of
my
students
by
inviting
them
into
the
entrepreneurial
universe
by
themselves
taking
part
in
their
own
entrepreneurial
endeavor
through
action
and
reflection.
A detailed and contemporary text offering a coherent outline of key concepts and practices in the field of entrepreneurship. This book explores a diverse range of issues relevant to all studying entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial behaviour; an excellent and comprehensive text. It is to be recommended to all those engaged with teaching, debating and theorising entrepreneurship.
This book provides an insightful grounded perspective on the rapidly evolving subject of entrepreneurship. The combination of the practical and the academic gives it a distinctive position in the marketplace for student texts on the subject
This is a well written and accessible book on entrepreneurship which makes a welcome return in an improved second edition. Blundel, Lockett and Wang with their blend of practical coverage and perspectives on entrepreneurship make the subject come to life. This book will be invaluable to lecturers and students alike.
This is a great book which is easy to read for practitioners and offers a comprehensive insight for academic scholars and entrepreneurs.
This second edition of a valuable core text on entrepreneurship brings a welcome updating and fresh approach to the work. The scope of the book, covering the entrepreneurial process, creativity and innovation, and the business disciplines of marketing, finance, people and technology management and the range of business models and strategies, is comprehensive. The separation between practical and research-based perspectives works effectively.
Each chapter in Part One is conceptually sound, with clear learning outcomes and well-framed questions. They are filled with a range of authentic, relevant and well-researched case studies. The quality and insight of these cases really helps the reader get ‘under the skin’ of the entrepreneurial business.
Part Two explores the research dimensions of entrepreneurship and is more likely to appeal to the final year undergraduate or postgraduate student looking for deeper knowledge of different research perspectives and their interactions with both entrepreneurial and the learner’s experiences. Important economic, historical and political perspectives are addressed in an authoritative, yet accessible way, which also embeds international dimensions throughout. The final chapter addresses entrepreneurial learning, however the focus on learning is recursive throughout the book. Overall, this is a rare example of a very well researched, accessible and authoritative text which should appeal both to learners and to educators.
Exploring Entrepreneurship is a breakthrough textbook for students of entrepreneurship. No other textbook combines such a clear summary of the start-up process along with a comprehensive overview of the developing discipline of entrepreneurship studies.
