Publisher's Notes
Few would argue the crucial role that entrepreneurs play in our increasingly global economy -- but exactly what is this vital, yet loosely defined business force we call the entrepreneurial spirit? This landmark study is the first to examine analytically the nature of the opportunities that entrepreneurs pursue, the problems they face, the traits they require, and the social and economic contributions they make. Until recently, entrepreneurs have been largely ignored in modern economic theory. But at the dawn of a networked age, marked by the advent of e-business and the home office, there's no question that entrepreneurs have recaptured the popular imagination. Studies now show that most men and women dream of starting their own businesses rather than rising through the corporate ranks. Yet in spite of increased attention by many of today's leading business schools, entrepreneurship has remained largely a mystery, an apparently intuitive sense of values possessed by certain individuals. This book targets the issues central, to successful, start-up ventures, such as endowments and opportunities, planning versus adaptation, securing resources, corporate initiatives, venture capital, revolutionary ventures and the evolution of fledgling businesses. Focusing on hard data and evaluations of numerous start-up businesses, including many of today's major industry leaders, this book presents a new economic model -- a key to understanding the guts, determination, luck and skills that constitute the underpinnings of corporate success. Written in dear, concise prose, The Origin and Evolution of New Business goes behind the charts and graphs of business theory to the true heart of success. Itis essential reading for business students, would-be entrepreneurs, or executives wanting to incorporate the vitality of the spirit into their organization.

Bhide, Amar V
New York, New York, U.S.A.: Oxford University Press, 2000. "I cannot say enough about THE ORIGIN AND EVOLUTION OF NEW BUSINESSES. It is, in my estimation, the single most significant contribution to our understanding of entrepreneurship to date. It illuminates what lies at the very heart of capitalism itself-the process by which men and women transform human capital {daring, imagination, resourcefulness} into financial capital {wealth}. The only negative thing I have to say about this remarkable book is, 'damn, I wish I had written it myself'." {George Gendron}. This book has 412 pages and is illustrated.. ISBN: 0-19-513144-4.

The Origin and Evolution of New Businesses
Bhide, Amar V
Very Good. Hardcover. Hardcover with dustjacket 2nd printing 2000 Oxford. REMAINDER MARKS at bottom page edge. Otherwise very clean; never read; pages bright; binding tight. Light store shelfwear. 412pp, Index, Notes, References. Language: English. NOTE: Cannot ship outside U.S. via Global Priority -- Surface or Airmail only. Paraphrased from flap: Provides a comprehensive framework for understanding entrepreneurship that delivers new and penetrating insights. Discusses well-planned start-ups of successful new businesses with humble beginnings and those with substantial backing. 'The entrepreneurial function has long been overlooked both by economists and business theorists, though courses in entrepreneurship are increasingly popular in business schools. Bhid (Harvard Business Sch.) draws on both of those disciplines for theory, which he then extends through the analysis of data from 100 interviews with leaders of high-growth companies. This groundbreaking work shows the complementary roles held by innovative startup companies in areas with high uncertainty and little financial investment and by more established companies, which focus on large-scale projects with more certain payoffs. The characteristics of promising startups and their founders are carefully outlined and contrasted with those of more established firms, and Bhid explains why so few firms make the transition from successful startup to ongoing large enterprise. Offering a wealth of avenues for future research as well as insights for potential entrepreneurs, this book is sure to be cited for years to come.'- -A.J. Sobczak, Library Journal, 1999.
