The entrepreneurial imperative : How America's economic miracle will reshape the world (and change your life) af Carl J. Schramm (Bog)

Expanding upon a landmark article in "Foreign Affairs", this work explains why the story of America is a story of entrepreneurship, and what readers must understand about the rules of innovation driving the economy. It shows how entrepreneurship is embedded in the national DNA, and what every American must know about the rules. Expanding upon a landmark article in "Foreign Affairs", Carl Schramm explains why the story of America is a story of entrepreneurship, and what readers must understand about the new rules of innovation driving the economy. In the July/August 2004 issue of "Foreign Affairs", Kauffman Foundation president Carl Schramm published an essay which provoked a great deal of interest and debate. The premise was radical. It said that Americans literally do not understand the secret of their own economic success in recent times. Nobody on earth can match Americans' entrepreneurial skills. In "The Entrepreneurial Imperative", Schramm shows how entrepreneurship is embedded in the national DNA, and what every American must know about the changing rules. Indeed, for the U.S. to survive and to continue in its leadership role in the world economy, it must see entrepreneurship as the central comparative advantage. Schramm will show what this entrepreneurial imperative means for the way Americans: conduct foreign affairs; lead companies; make personal job decisions; and run universities and foundations

Drawing on detailed research conducted by the Kauffman Foundation and on his decades of experience as an entrepreneur himself and as a leader and mentor to other entrepreneurs, Schramm persuasively demonstrates in detail what this entrepreneurial imperative means for the way we run universities and foundations, lead companies, make personal job decisions, and even conduct our foreign affairs. The Entrepreneurial Imperative will change not only the way our government, corporations, and nonprofits operate, but also our day-to-day lives as working Americans.
