Centred around the author's New Venture Creation framework, this engaging textbook guides students through the process of launching and developing a start-up. The book provides advice from successful entrepreneurs, real-life case studies and a digital workbook to record thoughts and develop business ideas.
Structured around the author's tried-and-tested New Venture Creation framework, this textbook encourages practical learning, enabling you to launch and develop your business. Broken down into three phases - Research, Business model development, Launch - the book provides a systematic approach which tells you everything you need to know and, most importantly, everything you need to do, to start a new venture.
You will learn how organisations and entrepreneurs address issues via real life case insights and quotes, while fictional case studies are presented to explore how you might choose ways forward in your entrepreneurial journey. The popular and effective Workbook, which enables you to work through your thoughts and ideas on business development and construct a profile of your new venture, is now presented in a digital format. A new Digital links booklet directs to company websites and interviews with entrepreneurs, and these resources are designed so that they can be used concurrently with the book.
This edition includes new material on the importance of anticipating new challenges and the need for re-strategizing and building resilience, while sustainability and diversity have been foregrounded in a re-examination of the case studies.
New Venture Creation is the essential textbook for preparing for real-life entrepreneurial experience: accessible, practical and grounded in academic insight.
This book is my go-to text for Entrepreneurship; it cleverly weaves together the essential resources that combine theory with practical application. Its strongest assets are the case studies provided and the challenges it poses to the reader. Highly recommended. * David Williams, University of Bedfordshire, UK *
When I teach entrepreneurship, I adopt the stance of what would help me start a new venture in navigating uncertain conditions where I’m never sure what might happen, despite my hopes. This book aligns with that iterative, discovery-driven approach. The globally distributed case insights and guides are simply brilliant! * Russell Manfield, University of Queensland, Australia *
A masterclass of a book detailing the fundamentals of new venture creation. It provides a framework that guides aspiring entrepreneurs through the steps required to convert ideas into enterprises. It draws upon examples of entrepreneurial individuals and scenarios from across the globe. I recommend it to both students and practitioners. * Amon Simba, Nottingham Trent University, UK *
I use this book on my 2nd year ‘New Venture Creation’ module at UCL. The book chapters are organised consistently around each of the three stages to create a new business. Furthermore, each chapter includes real life case studies. This helps students apply theory to practice. A highly recommended resource. * Ramesh Sangaralingham, University College London, UK *
