Broad and inquisitive in its intellectual outlook, this provocative but accessible textbook covers core themes and topics in the study of enterprise, as well as looking at subjects that are often ignored, from criminal entrepreneurs and the demise of Enron, to innovation and technology and ethnic and indigenous entrepreneurship. Supported by lively case studies, real-life examples, this interactive exploration moves beyond the narrow, prescriptive focus on the ′how′ employed by other textbooks, and places equal emphasis on the ′why′ - all the time considering the role of enterprise, entrepreneurship and small business in the world we live in.

A thoughtful and reflective account of "enterprise", offering meaningful and contextualized knowledge to students at all levels, written in a style that is as engaging as it is informative - and peppered with unobtrusive dry wit

This textbook is a breath of fresh air...Enterprise, Entrepreneurship and Small Business is not just another textbook on small businesses. A closer look reveals that this is a guide for understanding the differend angles from which entrepreneuring is experienced...clarity and richness of content are only two of the reasonswhy students and experts of enterprise alike will enjoy this rewarding book...Down understands his audience and writes for them, with relevant concepts and dialogical style.
