Entrepreneurship is one of the most talked about subjects and areas of study today however, information to support study, practice and teaching is widely scattered. In addition, user needs go beyond traditional research and education tools and must include practical tools and information useful in starting and growing successful businesses.

Regardless if you are a scholar researching entrepreneurial studies or if you are practicing entrepreneur looking to start or grow your own business, the most-coveted resources are often in multiple locations, incomplete or unavailable. It can be challenging to navigate uncharted waters but invaluable to learn from the experiences of those before you.

ProQuest Entrepreneurship provides solutions to these problems by offering a central access point to a variety of discovery and advisory tools specific to the needs of entrepreneurship.
