What to Say in Every Job Interview reveals how to read between the lines of every question interviewers ask (i.e., “How long have you been looking for a job?” means “Is there something wrong with you that other employers have picked up on?”) and provides clear answers to each one. You’ll learn to spot the critical factor interviewers seek with each question and present yourself in the best possible way—from touting communication skills to displaying enthusiasm to focusing on decision-making skills.  (From Google Books)

New venture management requires all the skills obtained within the typical MBA program, and then some. While those entering traditional management positions within established companies might expect to find established customers, a degree of predictability, formalized procedures, and earnings that may be taken more-or-less for granted, new ventures often are launched into highly dynamic environments characterized by rapid technological change, inherent unpredictability, and an uncertain cash flow. Such ventures often require rapid growth to succeed. While new ventures offer those who initiate them a high degree of independence, excitement, and potential for great reward, they also bring high risk, stress, and greater potential for failure. Thus, it takes a special set of skills, techniques, and temperament to succeed. These skills, along with the potential risks and rewards and environmental settings and characteristics, are explored in the Encyclopedia of New Venture Management.
