Creating Entrepreneurs—Making Miracles Happen

Using a rather disconcerting number of exhortatory exclamation points to do so (and retaining them for later chapters), editor Kiesner (entrepreneurship, Loyola Marymount U.) characterizes this work as a way to absorb important lessons on entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship education in a non-academic format that can be absorbed as "snippets." He presents thirty chapters penned by himself and others covering a broad range of topics, including the role of the entrepreneurial professor, encouraging entrepreneurialism on campus, developing effective business plans, self-assessment, training programs for fledgling entrepreneurs, entrepreneurship education in Asia, the "Celtic Tiger" of Ireland as an example of successful encouragement of entrepreneurship (this contribution incorrectly states that Ireland is at present one of the fastest growing economies in the world, when this has not been the case since at least the onset of severe recession in 2008), entrepreneurial ethics, encouraging interest in entrepreneurial finance, entrepreneurial mentorship, et cetera.
