Entrepreneurship

Article Overview: Entrepreneurship is the fastest growing field of study in tertiary education in North America and Europe - Gary brings the question to people in regards to starting of buying a business.

Entrepreneurship

Given the behavior of many companies worldwide toward both their staff and customers over the past decade I don't find it surprising that Entrepreneurship is becoming so widely demanded in Colleges and universities across the world. For example, one source estimates that 460 million people worldwide will start a new business or become the owners of a new business annually (Reynolds et al 2002). Entrepreneurship is the fastest growing field of study in tertiary education in North America and Europe (Bygrave 2004) and fifteen specialised journals disseminate research on the topic globally. With the economic climate the way it is and unlikely to change in the near future isn't it worth considering starting or buying a business? After all we couldn't be as bad as the high paid executives that were in charge of our destiny when so many companies went bust!
