This review is from: Technology Ventures: From Idea to Enterprise with Student (Hardcover)

Don't buy it if you don't have to...This was a required text for an entrepreneurship and intellectual property class I took recently. The book is horrible. For instance in one of the beginning chapters they have a quiz that asks "are you ready to be an entrepreneur?" which is followed by a series of (7) Y/N questions. If you answer yes to 4 or more questions out of 7 you're ready to be an entrepreneur. Yay! Unfortunately I answered yes to 3 out of 7 and still had to take the class. Hopefully this gives some idea about how worthless this book really is. This is just one example, and the book has copious amounts of useless banter throughout. One of the professors teaching the class really stood behind the book proclaiming that it would be one of the most useful books in our careers ahead. I couldn't give the book zero stars, so the rating you see should be completely blank.
