Entrepreneurship: The Bottom Line $14.72 It’s been reported that up to 98% of all businesses in America fail. In fact, in a well-circulated Youtube video, "Shift Happens," it is reported that China and India have more honor students than we have students. In short, the video explained how the Global Economy is shifting the power away from the U.S. How can this problem be solved when the U.S. government spends less than 70 million dollars a year (less than half of what Nintendo spends annually on marketing) on a failing public education system? How can students, parents, and/or aspiring entrepreneurs obtain the tools necessary to conquer this problem? The answer lies within our school systems’ ability to innovate. Lake Highland Preparatory School is accepting this challenge. In January of 2008, seventeen high school students formed a limited liability company to produce the ultimate entrepreneurial handbook- "Entrepreneurship: The Bottom Line." This manual/journal captures the real world challenges of entrepreneuralism in a clear, concise and compelling story, presenting how most of these challenges can be overcome. This is a prime example of what entrepreneurialism is all about.

Researching Entrepreneurship $60.72 Entrepreneurship is a phenomenon of tremendous societal importance. It is also an elusive phenomenon, and researching entrepreneurship is therefore fun, fascinatinga "and frustrating at times. In Researching Entrepreneurship, one of the most highly recognized entrepreneurship scholars shares in a personal and readable way his rich experience and ideas on how entrepreneurship can or should be researched. After a comprehensive treatment of entrepreneurship as societal phenomenon and scholarly domain, the core chapters of the book discuss design, sampling, operationalization and analysis issues on several levels of analysis: individual, venture, firm, industry, region and nation. The author provides numerous examples of problems and solutions from real research projects, as well as experienced-based suggestions for further improvements in future work. The book is targeted primarily at doctoral students and other (relative) newcomers to the field of entrepreneurship research. However, taking a fresh, reflective perspective and looking beyond research conventions, it should provide potential for inspiration and food for thought also for experienced entrepreneurship researchers. Moreover, while the examples are taken from entrepreneurship research, the book provides a unique "experienced empirical researcher" (rather than "textbook method expert") treatment of issues that are of equal relevance across the social sciences. This goes for topics such as the role of theory; qualitative vs. quantitative research; validity checking; statistical inference, and replication. Per Davidsson is Professor in Entrepreneurship at Brisbane Graduate School of Management, QUT, Australia, and JAnkAping International Business School, Sweden. He is also Chair of the Research Committee of the Entrepreneurship Division of the (American) Academy of Management.

Entrepreneurship Safari $61.38 Corporate Entrepreneurship provides a thorough review of the literature on this topic and presents a model based on this literature. Corporate entrepreneurship (CE) is increasingly being recognized as a legitimate path to high levels of organizational performance. CE has been promoted in organizations for many reasons including as a growth strategy, to increase profitability, for strategic renewal, innovation, international success, and to develop competitive advantage. Despite the potential positive effects of CE, the theoretical and empirical knowledge about CE and the entrepreneurial behavior on which it is based require greater attention. While there is a broadly held belief in the need for and value of entrepreneurial action on the part of established organizations, much remains to be revealed about how CE strategy is enacted in organizational settings. Corporate Entrepreneurship presents a model of CE based on the extant literature and research. It reviews the empirical and conceptual research that substantiates the many components of the model and describes a corporate entrepreneurship strategy based on that model.

Female Entrepreneurship in East and South-East Asia: Opportunities and Challenges $116.39 The book is a detailed study of female entrepreneurship in Asia. High economic growth is increasingly driven by market-oriented economic reforms favouring entrepreneurship. There is a higher awareness by women of their political and socio-economic rights and recognition by society at large of social legitimacy of women pursuing business activities on their own. Public authorities are slowly recognizing the importance of women as workers and entrepreneurs. This leads to the development of an institutional environment more favourable to their creation of enterprises. Key Features: Opportunity to acquire knowledge on the socio-economic roles played by women as entrepreneurs in the region; description and analysis of the issue in countries at different stages of economic development and with different socio-economic and cultural environment; a broad approach encompassing historical, political, sociological, economics and businesses-related aspects of female entrepreneurship; a complex and contrasted portrait of female entrepreneurs, their motives to be an entrepreneur, their desires for risk-taking and self-satisfaction; an explanation that while sharing similar ideals, expectations and willingness to achieving their objectives, there exist profound differences among but also within the different Asian countries in regard of female entrepreneurship characteristics. The Author: Philippe Debroux is a Professor of International Management at Soka University (Japan). He is also visiting Professor of International Management and Human Resource Management on a regular basis at Hanoi Economic University, Tsukuba University (Japan), Rennes University Center for Japanese Studies (France) and Brussels Solvay Business School MBA program.

OECD Studies on Smes and Entrepreneurship Smes, Entrepreneurship and Innovation $53.99 Welcome to the entrepreneurial economy: small firms are playing an ever-increasing role in innovation, driven by changes in technologies and markets. Whilst some spin-offs and high growth firms are having remarkable success, however, the broad bulk of small firms are not capitalising on their advantages.

Policy findings and recommendations are presented in three key areas: embedding firms in knowledge flows; developing entrepreneurship skills; and social entrepreneurship. In addition, country notes present statistics and policy data on SMEs, entrepreneurship and innovation for 40 economies, including OECD countries, Brazil, China, Estonia, Indonesia, Israel, the Russian Federation, Slovenia and South Africa.

Entrepreneurship for Engineers $53.94 Entrepreneurs have led economies out of downturns in the last 100 years and evidence points to this trend continuing into the future. In fact, regardless of country or economic conditions, entrepreneurial enterprises are on the rise. High-tech start-ups, where innovation, dedication, collaboration, and pure genius align into a successful enterprise, will likely see good times-if they start up right. However, many young researchers hesitate to set up their own company. Written by an electrical engineer with more than nineteen years of successful business experience, Entrepreneurship for Engineers covers every aspect you must master to become a savvy entrepreneur. The author provides coverage of the fundamentals of global economies, accounting, finance, and quantitative business analysis, because ordinary engineers usually lack these necessary survival skills.

Career Imprints $34.95 Praise for Career Imprints Monica Higgins’ groundbreaking work, Career Imprints, offers bold and original insights into the way in which talent-laden companies spawn new businesses, as Baxter alums did for the biotech industry. Her provocative and thoroughly documented research goes well beyond classic economic theories to demonstrate conclusively why entrepreneurially-led companies have the capacity not only to create new companies but entire industries as well. Bill George, author, Authentic Leadership, and former chairman and chief executive officer, Medtronic At the heart of this important study is a fascinating question: Why did alumni of one company the amazing ‘Baxter boys’ produce so many of the leaders of the burgeoning biotech industry? To find the answers, Monica Higgins left no research stone unturned. The result is a compelling new theory about exactly what happens in the early stages of careers to shape true leaders who can guide innovation and entrepreneurship. Higgins’ concepts will leave their imprint on careers, company cultures, and industry development. Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Harvard Business School, author, Confidence: How Winning Streaks & Losing Streaks Begin & End What Fairchild was to the development of high technology firms in Silicon Valley, Baxter has been to the evolution of the biopharmaceutical industry. Monica Higgins builds a fascinating, richly portrayed case for Baxter’s impact on the creation and growth of biopharmaceutical firms. Denise Rousseau, H.J. Heinz II Professor of Organization Behavior and Public Policy, Carnegie Mellon University Dr. Higgins has written an insightful analysis ofa phenomenon which shaped the biotechnology industry. There is no doubt that my days at Baxter had the most profound influence on my life and career as well as on those of my colleagues.

Chaos, Management and Economics: The Implications of Non-Linear Thinking $3.5 Chaos theory, which is causing a revolution in the natural sciences, has important lessons for the study of how human organisations and economies function.Chaos is an ‘intricate mixture of order and disorder’ in which behaviour patterns are irregular. Nevertheless, broad categories of behaviour can be recognised. Links between causes and effects are more complex than simple linear systems can capture. The behaviour of any system may well be extremely sensitive to its ‘initial conditions’. Such systems cannot be controlled; they ‘evolve through a process of self-organisation’. Because the long-term future is unknowable, managements of both companies and economies should emphasise adaptability and creativeness. Competitive markets are vital to the creative process because, unlike planned systems, they provide for ‘spontaneous adaptation’. Enterprise is a ‘locomotive of change’. Chaos theory ‘provides a new argument for the innovating entrepreneur’ which complements the case made by the Austrian school. To cope with chaotic conditions, economies need to promote entrepreneurship. In chaotic conditions, slight errors in demand management may lead to increased economic instability. Companies and economies ‘… require structures and institutions which encourage self-transformation’, not detailed plans for long-term futures. Government economic and social policy should ‘… complement not conflict with economic change’, avoiding policies which ‘… reduce the economy’s ability to adapt, including regulation, monopoly and high taxation …’. The authors explore the application of ‘chaos theory’ to economic and social systems. They argue that it provides a better explanation of how the world works and consequently has profound implications for the management of business and the economy.

Clearing the Hurdles: Women Building High-Growth Businesses $9.59 Women Building High-Growth Businesses “Even in the 21st century, much of the world still systematically excludes 50 percent of the smartest people from full responsibility.

The team of talented authors provides information, insights, and advice that will educate, motivate, and challenge women aspiring to become successful entrepreneurs.”—Laura Tyson, Dean, London Business School“With women creating new businesses at a faster rate than males, it is imperative that today’s venture capitalists take an active role in mentoring and recruiting women to become venture capitalists, business owners, technologists, entrepreneurs, and government leaders.

Entrepreneurship $11.4 It’s been reported that up to 98% of all businesses in America fail. In fact, in a well-circulated Youtube video, “Shift Happens”, it is reported that China and India have more honor students than we have students. In short, the video explained how the Global Economy is shifting the power away from the U.S. How can this problem be solved when the U.S. government spends less than 70 million dollars a year (less than half of what Nintendo spends annually on marketing) on a failing public education system? How can students, parents, and/or aspiring entrepreneurs obtain the tools necessary to conquer this problem?The answer lies within our school systems’ ability to innovate.Lake Highland Preparatory School is accepting this challenge.In January of 2008, seventeen high school students formed a limited liability company to produce the ultimate entrepreneurial handbook- Entrepreneurship: The Bottom Line. This manual/journal captures the real world challenges of entrepreneuralism in a clear, concise and compelling story, presenting how most of these challenges can be overcome. This is a prime example of what entrepreneurialism is all about.

Factors Of Production $46.86 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In economics, factors of production (or productive inputs) are the resources employed to produce goods and services. They facilitate production but do not become part of the product (as with raw materials) or are significantly transformed by the production process (as with fuel used to power machinery). To 19th century economists, the factors of production were land (natural resources, gifts from nature), labor (the ability to work), and capital goods (human-made tools and equipment). Recent textbooks have added entrepreneurship and “human capital” (labor’s education and skills). “Land” can include ecosystems while sometimes the overall state of technology is seen as a factor of production.In any event, it is the scarcity of the factors of production which poses humanity’s economic problem, often forcing us to choose between competing goals. The number and definition of factors varies, depending on theoretical purpose, empirical emphasis, or school of economics.
