N2  - Entrepreneurship Development and Project Management`s second revised edition is a comprehensive and up to date discussion of the most prominent issues in the field of entrepreneurship theory and developments. It is intended to be used as a text in entrepreneurship both at MBA and graduate level courses. Its goal is to create entrepreneurial spirit and entrepreneurs; though the subject matter has been carefully chosen to meet the university syllabi requirements while allowing extensive flexibility to fit various course designs and class sizes, including multidisciplinary and integrative curriculum settings. Importantly, this is done by blending the fundamentals of entrepreneurship with special attention to practical concerns. The substantial number of cases included provides ample opportunities for a case study approach or a combined lecture-discussion format. The modular format not only supports instructional excellence and learning, but also puts into your hands a concise learning resource that can help one to achieve their set goals. The book is also an important reference for scholars and thoughtful executives interested in theory, practice and research in entrepreneurship development.

Preparation of this edition has provided an opportunity to incorporate new developments and increase its value. The major changes from the previous edition are: "Tool Kit" a new feature, revised chapters on Entrepreneurial Development Programmes, Business Planning Process, 5 new chapters, viz., Project Management, Sustainable Entrepreneurship, Knowledge Management for Business Performance Improvement, Knowledge Management and Entrepreneurship, Strategic Entrepreneurship and more than fifteen new cases.

The book is organized into six parts: The Entrepreneurial Development Perspective; Creating Entrepreneurial Venture; Project Management; Entrepreneurship Development and Government; Emerging Areas in Entrepreneurship and Entrepreneur`s Training Kit inclusive of Cases and Activities. Each part addresses an important issue and consists of various issue-based topics. This is to facilitate the reader for using the book as per need and interest.
