They discuss the challenges facing entrepreneurs, while keeping focused on the small businesses students plan to start.

This textbook moves beyond the narrow, prescriptive focus on the ′how′ employed by other textbooks, and places equal emphasis on the ′why′ - all the time considering the role of enterprise, entrepreneurship and small business in the world we live in. Supported by lively case studies, real-life examples and a concept guide of key terms, this text is ideal for undergraduate and postgraduate students on any course with an emphasis on enterprise and entrepreneurship.
