The number of entrepreneurs has dramatically and uniformly increased globally over the last ten years. Divided into four sections, 'Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management in the Hospitality Industry' takes an intuitive step-bystep progression through each stage of the entrepreneurial process: context, theoretical perspectives and definitions; concept to reality; the business plan; growth and the future."
