This innovative volume tackles the complex question of entrepreneurial success, identifying the essential tools necessary for converting ideas into reality and offering concrete means for acquiring and strengthening those tools.Though entrepreneurial success or failure can be partly attributed to external considerations such as market fluctuations and competitor activity, Robert A.
