Among three different university textbooks on entrepreneurship that I read this one is definitely the best one. I use it most in my teaching tenure. Clear structure and language, logical build-up of chapters and topics, good illustrating case studies and examples of real companies.
It's pity that it is still very much US-focused, although being an international edition.

I used this book as a text for an Entrepreneurship class. Great book: informative and up-to-date, filled with great case studies and real-life examples, useful teaching resources and text bank. I'd give it a 5 if it had associated videos. I'll use it again, in the future.

A very well organized book. The most interesting feature of the book is the real life story at the beginning of each chapter.
