Reviews
'A well thought out and presented book.' - Dr Gary Packham, University of Glamorgan
DescriptionThis new text follows and succeeds the second edition of 'Small Business and Entrepreneurship' by Paul Burns and the late Jim Dewhurst. It combines a theoretical management perspective with a practical 'how-to' element. Boxed mini-cases, a step-by-step guide to producing a business plan and full length case studies give it great practical application.
