Product Description
This text--a combination of Harvard Cases and text-- examines the entrepreneurial process from the initial idea through business operations to harvest. It provides the knowledge and skills required for students pursuing careers as entrepreneurs as well as valuable ideas for those in a more structured business setting. Most importantly, it takes a close look at the process of identifying and pursuing opportunity, which has become increasingly important in restoring the competitive position of many U.S. industries in a global marketplace.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book with supporting data, April 20, 2009
What's best about this book is that it gives supporting data for its claims and models. Typically, "entrepreneurship" is considered a soft skill that can't be taught or shown with data, but Roberts does this with plenty of research and supporting charts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Boiling down mentorship into bite sized analytical pieces, November 15, 2006
I think I consumed this book from a different perspective. As a repeat entrepreneur, I see what makes the technical workings of a functional business starter.

I liked specifically
- being able to learn from another person's mistakes
- confirming what needs to be addressed before even starting a business
- once in a while taking inventory (I never define success so I am never successful)
- focusing on the important (and not just the urgent)

I recommend this book to people in the midst of running a business (or those that can take downtime to re-read the book over the holidays). If you're travelling with the book you might want to check it because it does weigh a ton.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent practical cases from real life!, March 5, 2001
By Barcley A. Johnson (St. Joseph, MI United States) - See all my reviews
I require this text in my graduate New Venture course at Western Michigan University. The real life cases and fundamental concepts covered provide a great foundation for New Venture teaching. I also require my start-up consulting clients to read Chpt 1,2 & 3 along with the case study "R&R". Good way to find out if they have what it takes. I first used and enjoyed this book from the other side of the class during my MBA studies at the GSB - University of Chicago.
