This newly updated guide portrays the entrepreneur as "the ultimate general manager," responsible for orchestrating relationships among all parts of an organization. In readings from leaders in entrepreneurial thought and practice (including the four HBS faculty members who edited the volume), the book covers every phase of the entrepreneurial experience, from basic concepts to emerging issues. The readings provide practical grounding and illustrate the diverse, imaginative ways in which entrepreneurs think and act. The Entrepreneurial Venture is a handbook for entrepreneurs, as well as for teachers and students of the entrepreneurial process.
