By- Thomas Duening, El Pomar Chair of Business and Entrepreneurship, Director of Center for Entrepreneurship, University of Colorado at Colorado Springs
- Robert Hisrich
- Michael Lechter
Recognizing the unique needs of the technology startup, Duening focuses on intellectual property development, funding, and marketing/selling more than other texts in this market. Extensive use of technology examples, case studies, and assignments keeps the book relevant and motivating for engineering students. A full supplements package, including instructor manual and lecture notes, makes it easy to get the course up and running.
Audience
Undergraduate or graduate students taking technology-focused entrepreneurship courses in engineering or business schools.
