Small Business: Creating Value Through Entrepreneurship offers a balanced approach to the core concepts of starting, managing, and working in a small business. An ideal textbook for undergraduate courses in small business management and entrepreneurship, the book provides a student-friendly pedagogical framework that blends foundational research on small business with the real-world practice of business ownership.

Relevant examples are provided throughout the text, bringing key concepts to life while providing a realistic view of what it takes to create a successful and sustainable small business. Organized into five streamlined sectionsโ€”a small business overview, paths to small business ownership, financial and legal issues, ways to grow a small business, and discussion of the โ€œEntrepreneurโ€™s Dilemmaโ€โ€”the text offers a diverse range of relatable examples drawn from both actual businesses and depictions of entrepreneurship in popular media.

Each clear and accessible chapter features discussion questions, mini-case studies, further reading lists, and colour visual displays designed to enhance the learning experience and strengthen student engagement and comprehension.
