I made the following entrepreneurship book recommendations on Quora, so thought I’d share them here as well:
I use the following two books as course texts in my entrepreneurship course:
- Effectual Entrepreneurship – Real data and evidence-based research on successful entrepreneurs
- The Startup Owner’s Manual – Steve Blank’s step-by-step guide to launching a venture (annoyingly only available in hardback)
Additionally, I recommend the following books for additional reading:
- Blue Ocean Strategy – Creating new markets instead of scrounging for shares of existing ones
- Crossing the Chasm – Old school, seminal marketing work on moving from early success to sustainable growth
- Getting to Yes – The best book I’ve ever read on negotiating
Do you agree with my recommendations? Do you have any others to contribute?
