Australasian Entrepreneurship
By: Patricia Doyle Corner (ed.); Kathryn Pavlovich (ed.)
Published by: eContent Management, Pty Ltd

Traditionally, researchers have defined entrepreneurship in terms of the entrepreneur - the individual who exploits a previously unnoticed opportunity. Entrepreneurship research thus focused on the attributes of the person and how these might be related to exploiting opportunities which others either didn't see or chose not to pursue. In this way, classic entrepreneurship research explored individual characteristics such as willingness to bear uncertainty (Khilstrom & Laffont, 1979), tolerance for ambiguity (Schere, 1982), or need for achievement (McClelland, 1961). Unfortunately, focus on the individual entrepreneur has proved unsatisfactory because it cannot explain the fact that entrepreneurial behaviour is episodic and clustered at particular points in time. It also does not explain how entrepreneurship is often a response to specific situations (Gartner, 1985). Stated differently, this individual entrepreneur view of the field does not acknowledge the context within which entrepreneurship takes place (Shane, 2003; Shane & Venkataraman, 2000). Shane and his colleagues encourage researchers to view entrepreneurship as the nexus of entrepreneur and context. more...

Bacardi and the Long Fight for Cuba
By: Gjelten, Tom
Published by: Viking

A unique history of Cuba, captured in the life and times of the famous rum dynasty. The Bacardis of Cuba, builders of a rum distillery and a worldwide brand, came of age with their nation and helped define what it meant to be Cuban. Across five generations, the Bacardi family has held fast to its Cuban identity, even in exile from the country for whose freedom they once fought. Now National Public Radio correspondent Tom Gjelten tells the dramatic story of one family, its business, and its nation, a 150-year tale with the sweep and power of an epic. The Bacardi clan--patriots and bon vivants, entrepreneurs and intellectuals--provided an example of business and civic leadership in its homeland for nearly a century. From the fight for Cuban independence from Spain in the 1860s to the rise of Fidel Castro and beyond, there is no chapter in Cuban history in which the Bacardis have not played a role. In chronicling the saga of this remarkable family and the company that bears its name, Tom Gjelten describes the intersection of business and power, family and politics, community and exile. more...

By: Burrows, Peter
Published by: John Wiley & Sons, Inc

This is the inside story of Hewlett-Packard Company's struggle to regain its former glory, and of the high-stakes battle between CEO Carly Fiorina and family scion Walter Hewlett over how best to achieve that goal.

Backfire explains how the company fell on hard times, recounts the historic decision that made Fiorina the world's top-ranking female executive, and brings to life the backlash that resulted when she tried to impose her charismatic salesmanship on the aging icon. more...

Roosevelt's chief scientific adviser, sat down in 1945 to write a magazine article about the future, he had no idea what he was beginning.
