Entrepreneurship relates actual experiences while combining concepts and cases to present the latest theories. The concepts cover what "would-be entrepreneurs" need to know to start and grow their businesses. Additionally, the cases illustrate how real entrepreneurs have gone out and succeeded. The authors cover all stages of the entrepreneurial process from searching for an opportunity to shaping it into a commercially attractive product or service, launching the new venture, building it into a viable business, and eventually harvesting it. Any student, "would-be entrepreneur" or not, will benefit from the lessons in this text

Republic begins by posing a central question: "What is Justice, and why should we be just, especially when the wicked often seem happier and more successful?". For Plato, the answer lies with ways people, groups, and institutions organize and behave
