About the author

Various is the correct author for any book with multiple unknown authors, and is acceptable for books with multiple known authors, especially if not all are known or the list is very long (over 50).

If an editor is known, however, Various is not necessary. List the name of the editor as the primary author (with role "editor"). Contributing authors' names follow it.

Note: WorldCat is an excellent resource for finding author information and contents of anthologies.

This book is really great to understand characteristics of an entrepreneur. It also contains real life examples, which makes the book a lot more interesting.

[Daniel.Leroux23 · Rating 3 out of 5]

The books provides actual examples of what it is explaining rather than a soft talk about entrepreneurship. At sometimes I thought that the book explained SCRUM methodologies but in other words. Its various authors offer a variety of topics, but there were 2 chapters very repetitive that were essentially the same (the ones about when to give up the CEO seat). Great book for getting the overview of Entrepreneurial business environment.

This is a very important collection of articles, not only for entrepreneurs, but also for managers who are running small and medium size entities.

I thoroughly enjoyed most of the articles, and came out with one or two applications from each.
