Cases in Entrepreneurship provides students with diverse, real-world examples of entrepreneurship in action. Through these cases, students learn critical lessons in business management, business development, and entrepreneurship. Each case includes a short introduction, explanations of why the case is important, key terms, the case itself, and post-reading questions. Students learn about young entrepreneurs with a vision of helping their war-ravaged country; a social entrepreneur with a successful operation who is asked to enlarge its mission; and a fashion student driven to change the way tailors sew and customers purchase professional business attire in her ancestral homeland. Additional cases follow a social entrepreneur challenged with finding a sustainable business model for a nonprofit where, culturally, individual philanthropy is a new concept; a dog food company owner whose board is recommending a growth strategy contrary to the founder's wishes; a group of entrepreneurs who've implemented a business training program in a new city, only to face criticism from its local government; a group of students expanding the concept of market segmentation; and entrepreneurs facing the consequences of creating a product that disrupts the market. Cases in Entrepreneurship is an ideal supplementary textbook for courses and programs in business management and entrepreneurship. Armen Hadjinian holds a bachelor's degree in business and M.B.A. from Marquette University. He is a coordinator and instructor for Milwaukee Area Technical College's entrepreneurship program and advisor for its Center for Entrepreneurship. When he joined the faculty at MATC as a business management instructor, Hadjinian revamped the business training diploma program curriculum to place more emphasis on entrepreneurship, strategy, and new product develop. An entrepreneur himself, Hadjinian formerly owned a running gear store, as well as his family's carpet business. He was also the lead consultant for one of the first mobile payment apps, Talipayments, which was a finalist in the Miller/Coors Urban Entrepreneurship Challenge.

Global cities with a largely cosmopolitan environment, such as Auckland, Berlin, Dubai, London, New York, Shanghai or Singapore, are successfully developing and attracting entrepreneurs from all over the world. This book elucidates the policy approaches related to the formation of the cosmopolitan environment that supports entrepreneurship in large urban areas. The book’s core theme is the relationship between cosmopolitanism and entrepreneurship, with the latter viewed as a key driver of economic growth, sustainability and prosperity. The book argues that successful entrepreneurship rests on the two pillars of the cosmopolitan environment: diversity and the creation of business opportunities. In contrast to globalisation’s standardised solutions in policy, commerce, banking and social issues, cosmopolitanism allows individualised value and solutions, whereby actors—entrepreneurs, businesses, families, interest groups, governments, non-governmental organisations and virtual communities—enjoy diversity as a norm. The book pays special attention to under-researched topics, such as threats to sustainability in cosmopolitan cities; why cosmopolitan cities attract immigrants with a highly independent mindset; the impact of religious norms on female and male entrepreneurs; varying experiences of local and expatriate entrepreneurs; and the diff erences in doing business by female entrepreneurs, stemming from their nationalities and residence status. The book off ers conceptual insights into the enablers of entrepreneurship in cosmopolitan cities and urban governance, complemented by case studies based on fi eldwork in Dubai, Hamburg, Istanbul, Karachi, Kyiv, London, Moscow and Tel Aviv. The book will appeal to those who study or teach cosmopolitanism, globalisation or urban development concepts, and those professionals who are considering the possibility of doing business or working as an expatriate in a cosmopolitan city.

Why the gender gap persists and how we can close it. For years women have made up the majority of college-educated workers in the United States. In 2019, the gap between the percentage of women and the percentage of men in the workforce was the smallest on record. But despite these statistics, women remain underrepresented in positions of power and status, with the highest-paying jobs the most gender-imbalanced. Even in fields where the numbers of men and women are roughly equal, or where women actually make up the majority, leadership ranks remain male-dominated. The persistence of these inequalities begs the question: Why haven't we made more progress? In Glass Half-Broken, Colleen Ammerman and Boris Groysberg reveal the pervasive organizational obstacles and managerial actions—limited opportunities for development, lack of role models and sponsors, and bias in hiring, compensation, and promotion—that create gender imbalances. Bringing to light the key findings from the latest research in psychology, sociology, organizational behavior, and economics, Ammerman and Groysberg show that throughout their careers—from entry-level to mid-level to senior-level positions—women get pushed out of the leadership pipeline, each time for different reasons. Presenting organizational and managerial strategies designed to weaken and ultimately break down these barriers, Glass Half-Broken is the authoritative resource that managers and leaders at all levels can use to finally shatter the glass ceiling.
