Hello Fellow Entrepians,

Heres a NEW Book from David Audretsch - "THE ENTREPRENEURIAL SOCIETY"

In The Entrepreneurial Society, award-winning economist David B. 
Audretsch identifies the positive, proactive response to globalization: 
The Entrepreneurial Society, where change is the rule and routine work 
is inevitably outsourced.

Under the managed economy of the cold war era, government policies 
around the world supported big business, while small business was deemed

irrelevant and largely ignored. The author documents the fundamental 
policy revolution currently underway.

As communities shift support to technology and knowledge-based 
entrepreneurship, the resulting startups have emerged as the driving 
force for economic growth and job creation. Universities have moved from

the economic sidelines to a highly valued seedbed of new ideas with the 
potential to create not just breathtaking new ventures but also entire 
new industries.

By understanding and managing the shift from the managed economy to The 
EntrepreneurialSociety,individuals,businesses,universities, and 
communities can learn how to proactively harness the opportunities
afforded by globalization.

Welcome to The Entrepreneurial Society.
