For undergraduate courses in Entrepreneurship and New Venture Creation.
Inspirational and informative—Entrepreneurship: Launching New Ventures introduces students to the process of entrepreneurial success.
There has never been a more invigorating and opportunistic time to study entrepreneurship. Around the world, the current economic crisis is not just negatively affecting business, this crisis is also generating business opportunities for the creative and daring. Show your class how to take advantage with Entrepreneurship: Launching New Ventures–the text that introduces students to the process of entrepreneurial success and shows them how to be effective every step of the way.
The third edition now includes opening profiles, student entrepreneurs’ insights, updated features, new and updated cases, and updated references.
Preaching the three P’s!
Passion—A lack of belief and fire for a budding enterprise is the quickest route to failure. This text encourages the notion that having passion is step number one.
Persistence—Turning a spark into a flame takes more than gusto; it also takes persistence. Barringer/Ireland explains to students that when roadblocks arise, and they will, using persistence to stay focused is a necessity.
Planning—Entrepreneurial ventures struggle or fail when the original idea is flawed and/or poorly considered. To help students avoid possible business failure, this text places special emphasis on the carefully planned beginnings of the entrepreneurial process.
Accesible Approach to Understanding the Entrepreneurial Process—This text is divided into four parts and fifteen chapters. Each of the four parts make up Barringer/Ireland's entrepreneurial process model, which helps students understand the entrepreneurial process:
Part 1: The Decision to Become an Entrepreneur
Part 2: Developing Successful Business Ideas
Part 3: Moving from an Idea to an Entrepreneurial Firm
Part 4: Managing and Growing an Entrepreneurial Firm
Easy Learning Features—In order to provide the most meaningful and comprehensive introduction to the entrepreneurial process as possible, the third edition includes several features to help guide students through the text. Here are a couple examples of the key features:
• Learning Objectives—Help students identify what the key topics are before diving into new material. Objectives are stated at the beginning of each chapter.
• Chapter Opening Profile—Each chapter’s topic is highlighted by an example of a company that was started while its founder or founders were still in college.
• Examples and Anecdotes—Liven up the text and provide descriptions of both successful and unsuccessful approaches to confronting the challenges discussed in each chapter.
• Checking for Understanding Questions—20 end-of-chapter review questions, 15 application questions, 4 case discussion questions, and 2 case application questions give students every opportunity to test their understanding of the concepts in the text.
Examining Failures—In order to succeed, it’s important to understand what could, and/or what did, go wrong. Each chapter contains a boxed feature that explains the missteps of seemingly promising entrepreneurial firms. This text highlights the fact that things go wrong when the fundamental steps in the chapters aren’t carefully followed.
Recognizing Opportunity and Analyzing Feasibility—Some entrepreneurial ideas have the potential to take off while others may never make it to the runway. For this reason, the text begins with strong chapters on opportunity recognition and feasibility analysis. This is vital information for students because opportunity recognition and feasibility analysis are key activities that they must complete early on when investigating a new business idea.
NEW! Opening Profile—A real-life profile of an entrepreneurial venture has been added to the beginning of every chapter. Thirteen of the fifteen profiles are new to this edition and each is specific to the topic of the following chapter.
NEW! Student Entrepreneurs’ Insights—At the bottom of every opening profile are entrepreneurs’ answers to a series of questions. These entrepreneurs launched their ventures while they were still students, sparking your students to start thinking: why not me and why not now?
NEW! Over 75% of feature boxes are new to this edition, and the features that were retained have been updated.
