Five Best Entrepreneurial Books Available Online

The journey on the entrepreneurial path is a steep. Basically, it is Darwin in practice – Survival of the fittest. If you can wither the strong winds and advance forward, even when the faint-hearted wants to quit, then you have the pedigree to be an entrepreneur. In fact, you are the show, when you run your business, unlike being part of the show, when you are an employee. All entrepreneurial aspirants would need knowledge and the tools to get started. Business books happen to be best way in which you can augment your knowledge to go about it. We have carefully picked (subjective bias possible) five recent books, which best explains the subject;

1. High Performance Entrepreneur

– Author of this book happens to be co-founder of Mindtree, a successful Indian technological company. The basic premise of the book talks about two things – Selling and Money. These two things are the foundations to getting a business started and making it successful.  Subroto  Bagchi also elaborates on selecting a team, defining values, writing business plan, building a brand and managing adversity. The book has a conversational narrative style and is quite easy on the reader.

2. Intelligent Entrepreneur

–Written in collaboration with Harvard Business School; the book talks about three-Harvard Business School graduates. They turn down six-figure pay-checks and bet on their instincts to start their own business. Years after, on their re-union, all three realise, the rich dividends their decision has paid. Author – Bill Murphy is a lawyer by training and writes extensively in the Washington Post. Bill was part of three successful start-ups to give him a better perspective while writing the book.

3. Billions of Entrepreneurs

–Entrepreneurship no longer remains the personal domain of the west. Two sleeping giants India and China are fast emerging as the hot bed for entrepreneurship. The books talks of individuals not looking towards America & Europe to set of a business of international standards to compete with the best. Author Tarun Khanna looks at how entrepreneurs in India & China are rearranging business, politics and society. A must read for anyone who wants to tread the success stories in India and China.

4. Entrepreneur Journeys

–The book captures real life stories of successful entrepreneurs. In the words of the author, the book captures, “the tribal knowledge, accumulated in the private lives of entrepreneurs”. It is good bedtime book to get inspired before you catch with your dreams at night. The author – Sramana Mitra has performed in different capacities in various start-ups and is an Alumnus from MIT.  The book gives pointers formulating ideas, creating strategies, changing directions and making the right choices.

5. How did they Blew it?

–As the name rightly states, it describes business failures in recent years. The book looks at dissecting the leaders & their personal philosophies, to point out what really went wrong. There book focuses on the behavioural patterns of these business leaders. Some definitely had personality traits that proved fatal to the business in the end. It stays clear of dissecting and drawing a conclusion, but rather focuses on facts and instances.

13 Bankers: The Wall Street Takeover and the Next Financial Meltdown $4.84 Even after the ruinous financial crisis of 2008, America is still beset by the depredations of an oligarchy that is now bigger, more profitable, and more resistant to regulation than ever. Anchored by six megabanks—Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley—which together control assets amounting, astonishingly, to more than 60 percent of the country’s gross domestic product, these financial institutions (now more emphatically “too big to fail”) continue to hold the global economy hostage, threatening yet another financial meltdown with their excessive risk-taking and toxic “business as usual” practices. How did this come to be—and what is to be done? These are the central concerns of 13 Bankers, a brilliant, historically informed account of our troubled political economy. In 13 Bankers, Simon Johnson—one of the most prominent and frequently cited economists in America (former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund, Professor of Entrepreneurship at MIT, and author of the controversial “The Quiet Coup” in The Atlantic)—and James Kwak give a wide-ranging, meticulous, and bracing account of recent U.S. financial history within the context of previous showdowns between American democracy and Big Finance: from Thomas Jefferson to Andrew Jackson, from Theodore Roosevelt to Franklin Delano Roosevelt. They convincingly show why our future is imperiled by the ideology of finance (finance is good, unregulated finance is better, unfettered finance run amok is best) and by Wall Street’s political control of government policy pertaining to it. As the authors insist, the choice that America faces is stark: whether Washington will accede to the vested interests of an unbridled financial sector that runs up profits in good years and dumps its losses on taxpayers in lean years, or reform
