Current Reading List

In Spring 2016, I used Don Kuratko's book, Entrepreneurship. So the reading list contains chapters from his book as well as articles from Harvard Business Review.

For the summer semester, my intent is to go away from the weekly reading assignments and provide students a broader list of more in-depth readings, from which they may select 2-3 and report on them through the semester.  Here's a link to that new reading list.
