Entreprenørskap

The book is aimed at giving those that may be interested in entrepreneurship as a career (particularly UBSS local and international students) a feel of what it is "like to be in the driver's seat". This is whether it is in their own organisation or being entrepreneurially minded in someone else's organisation. The book will give readers a feel of everyday Australian business success and help them to earn directly from successful entrepreneurs.We asked the same 15 questions to 15 "everyday" successful Australian entrepreneurs and then we analysed their answers to see if there are any common themes, and to see if their advice can be of use to business students, or indeed anyone interested in business.We believe that this book would be particularly helpful for commerce / business students as it will assist them as to whether they wish to be entrepreneurs. Some of the 15 questions were designed to be of direct assistance to this audience.Naturally it would be good if you could test being an entrepreneur to see if it suits you, but realistically this would be difficult to do. However, with this book at least you can read about entrepreneurs and let all this research help you in deciding whether you want to give entrepreneurship a go.We seek to help the reader to spot the "potholes in the road" before they hit them and, if they do hit them, be able to mitigate and manage the consequences.

?A colorful page-turner.? ?Walter Isaacson, New York Times Book Review?As important a book on space as has ever been written.? ?Homer Hickam, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Rocket BoysThe dramatic inside story of the historic flights that launched SpaceX?and Elon Musk?from a shaky start-up into the world's leading-edge rocket company.SpaceX has enjoyed a miraculous decade. Less than 20 years after its founding, it boasts the largest constellation of commercial satellites in orbit, has pioneered reusable rockets, and in 2020 became the first private company to launch human beings into orbit. Half a century after the space race it is private companies, led by SpaceX, standing alongside NASA, pushing forward into the cosmos, and laying the foundation for our exploration of other worlds.But before it became one of the most powerful players in the aerospace industry, SpaceX was a fledgling start-up, scrambling to develop a single workable rocket before the money ran dry. The engineering challenge was immense; numerous other private companies had failed similar attempts. And even if SpaceX succeeded, they would then have to compete for government contracts with titans such as Lockheed Martin and Boeing, who had tens of thousands of employees and tens of billions of dollars in annual revenue. SpaceX had fewer than 200 employees and the relative pittance of $100 million in the bank.In Liftoff, Eric Berger, senior space editor at Ars Technica, takes readers inside the wild early days that made SpaceX. Focusing on the company's first four launches of the Falcon 1 rocket, he charts the bumpy journey from scrappy underdog to aerospace pioneer. We travel from company headquarters in El Segundo, to the isolated Texas ranchland where they performed engine tests, to Kwajalein, the tiny atoll in the Pacific where SpaceX launched the Falcon 1. Berger has reported on SpaceX for more than a decade, enjoying unparalleled journalistic access to the company's inner workings. Liftoff is the culmination of these efforts, drawing upon exclusive interviews with dozens of former and current engineers, designers, mechanics, and executives, including Elon Musk. The enigmatic Musk, who founded the company with the dream of one day settling Mars, is the fuel that propels the book, with his daring vision for the future of space.Filled with never-before-told stories of SpaceX's turbulent beginning, Liftoff is a saga of cosmic proportions.
