Beschreibungen

<p><span>The U.S. is home to some of the largest corporations on the planet. American entrepreneurs spawned massive companies such as Facebook, Google, Apple, Amazon, and Oracle. Founders of these companies became very wealthy. Government entities and consumers benefited from the unmarketable products entrepreneurial visionaries developed. </span><span>Entrepreneurship and Economic Development: The People and their Environment</span><span> provides in-depth case studies of contemporary entrepreneurs that are building the future. The author argues that the famous billionaire entrepreneurs of today such as Gates, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Bloomberg, Page, Brin, Ellison and others possessed individual drive and talent. However, it is also argued that talent may not be enough. Talent withers or thrives in its social, cultural, political and legal environment. The environment of the U.S. and its entrepreneurial "ecosystem" has been conducive to innovators and entrepreneurs of the past such as Benjamin Franklin, Levi Strauss, Henry Ford, and Andrew Carnegie and Thomas Edison. This book explores how both talent and context influence entrepreneurial development. </span></p>

<p><span>Entrepreneurs drive economic development in the U.S. and elsewhere. </span><span>Entrepreneurship and Economic Development: The People and their Environment</span><span> argues that while individual talent is relevant, environments or "ecosystems" are of equal and perhaps more important value.</span></p>
