About this title

From Library Journal

Entrepreneurship and what makes it happen is now a topic of intense interest among economists, public policymakers, and businessmen. The primary motivator for this scrutiny is that small companiesoften new companies founded by entrepreneursare the primary source of new jobs in the United States. Based on more than 200 interviews with CEOs from the country's fastest growing small companies, the book attempts to pull together the various successful strategy lessons. Unfortunately, the lessons are not systematically or logically arranged and are sometimes redundant. Those interested in entrepreneurship philosophy may prefer George Gilder's The Spirit of Enterprise (LJ 2/1/85). Gene R. Laczniak, Marquette Univ., Milwaukee
