Critical Acclaim
‘This book’s global reach, with contributions from 48 educators across 14 countries, is a rarity. Too often teaching exercise collections stem from a singular context, imitating their generalizability to a wider array of classrooms. This volume, masterfully curated, is poised to transcend cultural boundaries and foster a deep, practical understanding of entrepreneurial concepts.’
