It provides students with a foundation of ideas and understandings designed to shape their thinking and behavior so as to appreciate the role of innovation and entrepreneurship in modern economies, and to recognize their own abilities in this regard. Aimed at students studying entrepreneurship at both postgraduate and undergraduate level, this book creates entrepreneurial awareness, develops analytical and creative skills, and encourages the self-development of students into entrepreneurial business owners or employees. The text brings together entrepreneurship and innovation – as they are largely indivisible elements and cannot be adequately understood if studied separately – and provides the reader with an overview of these elements and how they combine to create new value in the market. All the case studies are based on original research, real entrepreneurs and real businesses. Content: Chapter 1 – A social and economic process, Chapter 2 – The entrepreneur mind and action, Chapter 3 – The entrepreneurial process, Chapter 4 – Intrapreneurship, Chapter 5 – Small business, Chapter 6 – Adoption and diffusion of innovation, Chapter 7 – Entrepreneurial vision versus the planning ethos, Chapter 8 – Financing the venture, Chapter 9 – Technology, technopreneurs and disruptive innovations, Chapter 10 – Intellectual property management and commercialisation, Chapter 11 – Team building and company leadership

`Mazzarol and Reboud present an extremely well documented book that offers grounded approaches through insightful case studies. It is a rare book from which practitioners, students, teachers and researchers will gain both knowledge of and enthusiasm for the subject.' - Louis Jacques Filion, HEC Montreal, Canada 
Throughout the book, the authors offer a conceptual framework supported by original case study data to explain how and why a small firm should approach strategic planning, the forces influencing the planning process, and the nexus between innovation and planning. 
The majority of all businesses throughout the world are small firms, which play a crucial role in the growth of the world's economies. Tim Mazzarol and Sophie Reboud address questions such as: what is the value of planning for small firms, and how should these firms approach strategic planning? This book provides an in-depth analysis of the theory and conceptual frameworks associated with planning and strategy in small firms. It also explores key issues linked with why and how small firms should plan and the benefits they gain. 
This timely book will be invaluable to academics, postgraduate research students and professional advisors working in the field of small business management and entrepreneurship.

Small Business Management: Theory and Practice (Springer Texts in Business and Economics)

This textbook familiarises students with the theory and practice of small business management and challenges assumptions that may be held about the way small business management can or should adopt the management practices of larger firms. For students interested in establishing and managing their own small firm, this book helps them to focus their thinking on the realities of life as a small business owner-manager - both its challenges and its rewards. For postgraduate students that are keen to 'make a difference', this text enables them to understand how they might consult to small firms and assist owner-managers to establish and grow their ventures. In addition to students, this book is also useful to small business owner-managers as a general guide on how they might better manage their operations. Managers in large corporations and financial institutions who deal with small businesses as clients or suppliers, and professionals such as accountants, lawyers and consultants who provide advice and other services to small businesses will also find the book of interest.
