Book Description

One of the primary reasons most often cited for the failure of a new venture is the entrepreneur′s inability to identity and exploit the `right idea′. This is directly connected to the concepts and principles of marketing, specifically: knowing what to produce and knowing what not to produce. Additionally, even if the entrepreneur has the right idea, many experts cite weak marketing efforts (marketing execution) as another reason for venture failure.

Marketing for Entrepreneurs moves beyond the classic 4Ps and demonstrates the application of marketing in an entrepreneurial context. Traditional marketing texts are incapable of addressing marketing concepts directly applicable to the entrepreneur′s unique situation. Furthermore, general entrepreneurship books are also not applicable because they tend to focus on management teams or the development of business plans while failing to address critical marketing dimensions.
