If you are over 55, what entrepreneurial advantages do you have? What does your family have to do with your ultimate career choice? In this collection of 25 articles international contributors
consider managers (those who wish to make the world run well) and entrepreneurs (those who wish to create new worlds). They look at how those two very different groups of people make their
choices, consider early influences and cultural factors, and how they approach their business education, deal with diversity and gender, and perhaps even swap sides on occasion. Topics include
collective attitudes, family influences, serial entrepreneurs and managers, moving from business to teaching, value changes among MBA students, career constraints in the creative and cultural
industries, minority entrepreneurs, and the value of the MBA for women and people of color. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
