This title emphasizes three core tenets necessary to start an entrepreneurial venture: 1. Art of using your accumulated experiences along with practical examples to turn any entrepreneurial venture into a success. 2. Science of taking what is already known as the heart of starting and running a successful entrepreneurial venture. 3. Processes that have proved themselves over decades of research and experience that tie these two areas together into a coherent and organized business. With its adaptive learning tools, students learn the art, science, and process of designing, starting, and managing a small business. Through its real-world approach, students take roles of a financial analyst, marketer, and business owner, and think critically to develop a plan to survive in the ever-changing world. The authors built the entire book around building a plan so that at the end of the course the students will have crafted their own business plans.
