    I'm scheduled to teach a class that is meant to focus on the management of a new and growing venture.  Most of the entrepreneurship textbooks I am familiar with dwell more on early-stage activities than I would like for this particular class (opportunity evaluation, business plans, etc.).  I would like a book that focuses more on what to do with a venture that is already up and running.  Can anyone recommend a book that does this?

     

    Thanks much,

    Dan

    I think Katz & Green is the best that I have seen for this topic. The title is Entrepreneurial Small Business. Good luck.

    Nancy Koehn Brand New - six quite in-depth cases on start-up and then growth and maturity. Best of luck.

    I teach a class called Managing the Growing Entrepreneurial Firm.  Currently I am using the Flamholtz and Randel book called Growing Pains. It is a great book for this topic.

    I highly recommend Technology Ventures: From Idea to Enterprise by Dorf and Byers, published by McGraw-Hill. It examines "technology entrepreneurship."  This book integrates entrepreneurship and technology management theories from leading scholars and educators, and includes lots of examples, exercises, cases, and sample business plans. The website for the book is: http://techventures.stanford.edu.

    We use this book, by my colleague Tom Byers, in our classes. It is very well organized, covers all the important topics, and the students find it very engaging. 

    Best,
