Reviews

[Darkpurplemoon]

I really enjoyed this book. It is uk focused, which is really nice for such a business focused book, examples are often American. But the whole book was focused on the uk.

The breakdowns of what an entrepreneur has to do was really clear and helpful. Especially so as it was then backed up by really detailed case studies. I liked the constant reassurance that taking risks is normal for an entrepreneur.

The examples of what an entrepreneur vs what entrepreneurship is was quite eye eopening and made me think. A highly encouraging book.

Just like what the title said: "Knowledge entrepreneurship in Britain". This is focused mainly about the Briton entrepreneurship environment, following the example from several sectors: animation and computer games.
