New Books Launch

The new edition of Simon Bridge & Ken O’Neill’s Understanding Enterprise 5e is extensively revised to take into account the latest thinking and research and provides a critical introduction to enterprise in its broadest context, particularly its application to business through entrepreneurship and small business.
The book is divided into three distinct parts, which examine traditional approaches to entrepreneurship, new perspectives on the subject, and the success or otherwise of government policy.
‘A classic in the small business and entrepreneurship literature… …an excellent volume and definitely a must-read for students, but also for those researching and supporting small businesses and entrepreneurs.’
Friederike Welter, IFM & University of Siegen, Germany
Key features:
– Extensively revised to take into account the latest thinking and research
– Reassessment of traditional views and a critique of conventional wisdom
– Updated coverage of the impact and failings of comparative government policies
– A good balance between theoretical and practical perspectives
