This book is dry and scholarly like a textbook as the title implies. It's not of much use to a small business or by any means covers a fraction of the things any business needs to know. The one area this bpbook is outstanding compared to others I've read about starting businesses, especially small ones is it's superior coverage of writing business plans and writing your pro-forma statement. For those two topics, it's essential reading unless you look for the info online.Otherwise, Rieva Lesonsky's AWESOME "Start Your Own Business" is a TRUE encyclopedic resource covering virtually all aspects of starting any business, big or small, that is a "true MBA" on the subject. It covers many topics other books don't, especially this one, is an easy read that gets to the point, and only BOOKS on specific topics like e-commerce or accounting have much more to add.
This book is a wealth of information. I would reccoment this book to anyone who is looking at opening his or her own business. As a business consultant I have learned many prinicples and methods from this book that I have applied with working with many of my customers. I will be giving my cutomers this a gift when purchasing my services in the future due to the wealth of knowledge availible in this book!!!
This book seems to be taken from a similar text book by the authors and used in the Entrepreneurship 510 class at Devry University (just to be clear, my text book for this class is also by Bygrave and Zakarakis and simply entitled "Entrepreneurship" (my copy is a Devry ediion with the Devry cover on it but the text is actually from the authors above 2nd edition). Although the chapter layout is not quite the same, the text within it is the same. The ISBN on my book is 978-0-470-45037-6 (pbk).If you are planning on attending this school or notice that your Entrepreneurship class book has the same authors, I'd be wary of buying this book as I am certain that the information contained in both is extremely similar, just organized a little different.
Useful, but super dense. I didn't end up needing lots of the pieces therein but it was useful for the mindset it presents. This is mostly useful for folks looking for large capital investments from VCs.
I would give this book 10 stars if I could. It breaks down just about everything you want to know about starting a business. Some of the material may be outdated since it was written some years ago BUT it is still worth the price even though you can look up some of the stuff on the Internet. It is nice and convenient to have everything you would want to know in one spot. The book is also very well written.
This content was the core of my Managing Growth Management MBA course. The info is invaluable. You can get almost as much out of reading this book as from taking a class. Make sure to go online and download the content that goes with the book. I used the financial statements downloaded for my business plan. I realized I needed the book while I was on vacation, only 2 days before class started and I had 2 chapters to read before class! Thanks to prime and the supplier, I got the book on time.
Good information for someone looking to start their own business
Dense book. Hard to get through, but full of information.
