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.

Spørgsmål og svar

Er varen ny?

Orderly sælger gode varer fra folk, som ikke selv har tid, lyst eller mulighed for at gøre det. Vores varer er derfor typisk brugte og dermed billigere end nyt. Og så er de bedre for miljøet.

Hvordan vurderer I standen?

Vi vurderer varen ud fra synligt slid og det samlede indtryk. Vi tester ikke elektronik eller tæller brikkerne i et puslespil inden salg. Vi formidler salget mellem køber og sælger. Men er der problemer med en vare, finder vi altid en løsning - med eller uden sælger.

Jeg glemte en ting. Kan jeg tilføje til min ordre?

Ja, det kan du sagtens - helt indtil vi starter pakningen af din ordre. Du laver bare en ny ordre og vælger den eksisterende ordre som levering (hvor du normalt vælger GLS eller afhentning). I sjældne tilfælde kan det dog forlænge leveringstiden med en dag.

Summary: In this important book, William J. Baumol, Robert E. Litan, and Carl J. Schramm contend that the answers to these questions lie within capitalist economies, though many observers make the mistake of believing that "capitalism" is of a single kind. Writing in an accessible style, the authors dispel that myth, documenting four different varieties of capitalism, some "Good" and some "Bad" for growth. The authors identify the conditions that characterize Good Capitalism--the right blend of entrepreneurial and established firms, which can vary among countries--as well as the features of Bad Capitalism. They examine how countries catching up to the United States can move faster toward the economic frontier, while laying out the need for the United States itself to stick to and reinforce the recipe for growth that has enabled it to be the leading economic force in the world.
