Summary

This book retains the overall framework and content features of the previous five editions, with revisions made in response to developments in entrepreneurship education and feedback from instructors. Taking the entrepreneurial process as its main thread, the book also strengthens content on entrepreneurial thinking, methods, and key elements, closely integrating them with the entrepreneurial process and further reinforcing the framework of "concepts, knowledge, skills, and action." The sixth edition also features the following key improvements: fully updated case materials with greater emphasis on contemporary relevance and practicality; highlighted entrepreneurial contexts and the resulting distinctiveness of entrepreneurial activities; and reflection of the latest advances in the entrepreneurship field.

Editor's review

As an entrepreneurship management textbook revised through five editions, the sixth edition's most commendable aspect is its continued refinement of the "concepts, knowledge, skills, and action" framework. It does not reduce entrepreneurship to writing business plans or fundraising techniques; instead, taking the entrepreneurial process as its main thread, it embeds entrepreneurial thinking and methods into key stages such as opportunity identification, resource integration, and team building, helping readers develop a systematic understanding of the distinctiveness of entrepreneurial activities. The sixth edition fully updates case materials, enhancing contemporary relevance and practicality, and incorporates new advances in entrepreneurship research, making the content closer to today's entrepreneurial contexts. For classroom teaching, the book is clearly structured and easy to organize instruction by chapter; for self-learners, the combination of cases and methods offers actionable analytical paths. One caveat: as a textbook, it emphasizes the completeness of the knowledge system rather than deep hands-on practice of any single entrepreneurial path, so readers should consolidate methods through real project exercises.

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • Students in university business administration and innovation/entrepreneurship courses who need systematic textbook support for classroom learning
  • University entrepreneurship educators seeking a well-structured textbook with relatively recent cases
  • Readers with initial entrepreneurial ideas who want to build an overall understanding of the entrepreneurial process
  • Corporate training or incubator program organizers who need systematic foundational entrepreneurship materials

Not a good fit for

  • Practitioners with mature entrepreneurial experience seeking only specific fundraising or operational techniques
  • Casual readers hoping for founders' personal stories or entrepreneurial legends
  • Those who need a specialized tool book in one subfield only (e.g., financial modeling)

Reading tips

  1. First read the table of contents to clarify how each stage of the entrepreneurial process corresponds to the "concepts, knowledge, skills, action" framework, then read each chapter closely.
  2. After each case chapter, use the book's methods to briefly analyze an entrepreneurial project you are familiar with, testing your understanding.
  3. For classroom use, assign group discussions by chapter to turn case materials into exercises in judging entrepreneurial contexts.
  4. On a second reading, focus on the entrepreneurial thinking and methods sections, combining them with your own industry experience in notes.

张玉利 Author

Zhang Yuli is a Chinese book author about whom limited public information is currently available. The library holds one work by this author, Entrepreneurship Management (6th Edition), which is classified under exam preparation, indicating a clear teaching and study orientation aimed at course learning or exam review. Judging from the title and edition number, the book has been revised through six editions, suggesting that its content has been refined over multiple rounds and that its structure and knowledge framework have become relatively stable, making it suitable as an introductory textbook or study aid in the field of entrepreneurship management. Given the limited materials, Zhang Yuli's educational background, institutional affiliation, research focus, and writing career cannot be confirmed, nor can the number and influence of the author's works be assessed. Understanding of the author and the book should therefore rest mainly on the entrepreneurship management knowledge system presented in this textbook and on teaching practice.

As the writer of a textbook-style work, Xue Hongzhi's contribution in this field lies mainly in organizing and presenting the body of knowledge on entrepreneurship management, with an emphasis on a structured, review-friendly approach that helps readers grasp the relevant content against examination key points. Since no reliable records of his personal background, positions, or academic experience are available, no speculation is offered here; any judgment of his writing style and influence must likewise be limited to the subject positioning of this single work.
