Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Understanding Enterprise
Simon Bridge · 2017
74/100
👍 Worth It
Bridge and O'Neill's willingness to question the assumptions most entrepreneurship textbooks take for granted makes this stand out in a genre prone to cheerleading. The policy analysis section is especially valuable — that perspective is genuinely rare at this level. The academic register and UK-centric policy focus narrow the audience, but for postgraduate students and policymakers, this is a benchmark text for a reason.
