520			_a"Entrepreneurship is the most powerful economic force known to humankind! The Entrepreneurial Revolution that captured our imagination during the last three decades has now permeated every aspect of business thinking and planning. As exemplified by the dynasty builders of the previous decades, such as Sam Walton of Walmart, Fred Smith of FedEx, Bill Gates of Microsoft, Herb Kelleher of Southwest Airlines, Steve Jobs of Apple, Andy Grove of Intel, Larry Page and Sergey Brin of Google, Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook, Peter Thiel of PayPal, and Elon Musk of Tesla and SpaceX, the applications of creativity, risk taking, innovation, and passion led the way to economic development far greater than anyone could imagine. Today, we witness the immense impact of entrepreneurial companies such as Google, Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, LinkedIn, Uber, and Airbnb, which have produced technological breakthrough after breakthrough. In this third decade of the twenty-first century, we continue to encounter newer and sometimes more complex challenges and pressures than ever before in the form of green technologies, social entrepreneurship, sustainability, health care, and disruptive technological change. The entrepreneurial drive and determination of yet-to-be-discovered dynasty builders will be our greatest solution to all of these challenges. The process of transforming creative ideas into commercially viable businesses continues to be a major force in today's global economy. Successful entrepreneurship requires more than merely luck and money. It is a cohesive process of creativity, risk taking, and planning. Students today need courses and programs that set forth a basic framework for understanding the process of entrepreneurship. I wrote this textbook to structure and illustrate the discipline of entrepreneurship in a manner that is as unique and creative as entrepreneurship itself. The text and online materials included in Entrepreneur-ship: Theory, Process, Practice, 12th edition, to bring together in one place the most significant resources for exploring the development of new and emerging ventures and to present them in an exciting, organized, and challenging manner." --Preface
