Each chapter begins with learning objectives and a profile of an entrepreneur whose career is especially relevant to the chapter material. Numerous business examples occur throughout each chapter along with important websites to assist the reader in getting started. Boxed summaries of articles in the news (As Seen in Business News) illustrate the chapter discussions and Ethics boxes discussing ethical issues are found in all the chapters. Each chapter concludes with research tasks, class discussion questions, and selected readings for further research and study.
At the end of the book is a selection of Cases that can be used along with any chapter, as well as listing of other appropriate cases on a chapter-by-chapter basis.
