The Global Entrepreneur

Following the 2008 global financial crisis, entrepreneurship has never been more vital. As jobs were lost from large organizations, the majority of new jobs came from innovative start-ups. Around the world, the lure of Hi-tech has attracted students, who lack business knowledge, and yet see themselves as future entrepreneurs. This book fills that knowledge-gap. It differs from the existing literature in the field, in that its focus is on the individual and his or her reaction to the international nature of the entrepreneurial experience backed by both the lived experience of actual entrepreneurs and case studies of entrepreneurship across the world.
