Description: How can management be developed to create the greatest wealth for society as a whole? This is the question Peter Drucker sets out to answer in Innovation and Entrepreneurship. A brilliant, mould-breaking attack on management orthodoxy it is one of Drucker's most important books, offering an excellent overview of some of his main ideas. He argues that what defines an entrepreneur is their attitude to change: 'the entrepreneur always searches for change, responds to it and exploits it as an opportunity'. To exploit change, according to Drucker, is to innovate. Stressing the importance of low-tech entrepreneurship, the challenge of balancing technological possibilities with limited resources, and the organisation as a learning organism, he concludes with a vision of an entrepreneurial society where individuals increasingly take responsibility for their own learning and careers. With a new foreword by Joseph Maciariello.

  Waterstones The Entrepreneur's Book

  Price: £9.99

  Brand: Waterstones

   

  Description

  Description: Though entrepreneurs understand the 'mechanics' of running a business (how to) they don't always understand the fundamentals which ultimately decide success or failure. Through his own experiences and conversations with 100's of successful people, Neil Francis concludes that a route to success is about understanding and answering what he calls the 'why' questions. Each chapter starts with a 'why' question and focuses on the 'fundamentals' required for successful and sustainable entrepreneurship such as purpose, innovation, love, desire, failure and luck. These very 'human' stories, combined with the author's own unique experiences help to illustrate the core fundamentals of successful entrepreneurship. With an achievable and practical roadmap to success, The Entrepreneur's Book is a unique and important book which will benefit aspiring entrepreneurs and those who are already 'in business'.
