About this ebook
In the hard-fought business world, only one new business in 20 lives to see its fifth anniversary. Typical management books do not address the unique nuances of early stage companies. Most entrepreneurial books often profile successful entrepreneurs or companies who are better known, which usually includes only the small percentage that achieve stratospheric success.
bWise: Global Entrepreneur provides a welcome combination of first person-advice and peer mentoring support. This essential resource provides an in-depth, inside perspective on what it’s really like to start a company, including tips for long-term survival and success, and detailed practical advice to help entrepreneurs tackle common concerns and obstacles. This comprehensive book provides sound, battle-proven advice for determining early structural decisions, uncovering innovative funding resources, and developing a business plan and budget.

bWise Global Entrepreneur's Edge is part of Atma Global’s bWise – Business Wisdom Worldwide series. Engaging, concise, and informative country, culture, and global business guides for professionals, educators, students, and global enthusiasts. Maximize your success potential and satisfy your curiosity as you learn about countries, cultures, and timely global business topics.
Edu-taining Content. Our philosophy is that learning should be enjoyable, engaging and user friendly, regardless of how, where, and when you choose to access it.
Useful insight needs more than 140 characters. Our approach is not to “spoon feed” you a bunch of do’s and don’ts, rather we look to give you an in-depth, straightforward perspective of a culture, country or a global business topic so that you can extract the information you need and want.
Context. We believe that it’s essential to know about how’s and why’s behind a topic. Whether the attitudes towards work and business interactions, business protocols, or the way people communicate – much has to do with the overall context in which society operates. History, government, politics, geography, and a host of other factors all play into this equation as well. More than just a presentation of facts, our essential learning content provide a reliable, comprehensive proprietary analysis about a business culture or global business topic.
