    We are planning to offer a fourth year undergraduate bachelor course that is to introduce entrepreneurship. We would like to dedicate the course to the initial stages of the entrepreneurship process: the emergence,  discovery, evaluation & optimization of opportunity, hence we do not discuss issues such as as resource mobilization, scaling/growth or exit.

    Does anyone have suggestions for a monograph or advanced textbook that focusses on these early stages?

    Thx for your help!

    The two that I've been most impressed with are by Jerry Katz and by Lisa Gundry & Jill Kickul. Both, I think are newby-friendly, but could be used elsewhere. The authors are very helpful!

    The last time I taught intro - I found success with a set of smaller books - Drucker's Innovation & Entrepreneurship is a terrific intro (and is an inexpensive paperback - <$10) Another out-of-the-box choice is Dave Bornstein's social entrep intro, How to Change the World, that Ashoka recommends. (And it will help you recruit non-business majors -and open the eyes of the biz majors...)

    John Mullins's book on what to do before you do a business plan looks promising too.

    Hope this helps, Wynand!
