Entrepreneurship
Robert Hisrich · 2016
66/100
👎 Skip It
A comprehensive, long-trusted MBA staple covering the whole venture lifecycle with a well-credentialed author team — but readers themselves flag it as broad without much bite, thin on why startups actually fail, and missing a real chapter on pitching. Solid reference, not a standout read.
