stupid

By Daniel Isenberg, Harvard Business Press Books, 2013

Are you a member of the new class of global entrepreneurs? If not, beware–this book may inspire you to become one. It’s a rallying call for those whose ideas were ever called worthless, impossible, or even stupid. In this fascinating read, global entrepreneurship expert Daniel Isenberg illustrates through stories of real business builders the new rules of starting and growing a business. No longer bound by a western “Silicon Valley” approach to entrepreneurship, a new group of enterprising doers has created a global and diverse mix of organizations that could be tomorrow’s leading firms. Stirred by what he saw while crossing the globe to speak with business leaders young and old, Isenberg began connecting the dots.
