Informational Entrepreneurship in a World with Limited Insight / Progress in Mathematics (PDF)

"Informational Entrepreneurship in a World with Limited Insight offers an excellent approach to put together a complex topic in a simple and scientific way. The use of boxes, figures, and tables makes the book reader friendly. The book combines theoretical and prescriptive solutions to provide a systematic understanding of ways to enhance entrepreneurial performance. It is an invaluable resource for entrepreneurship researchers, aspiring entrepreneurs and educators."

-Alka Gupta, Associate Editor at Southern Asian Journal of Human Resource Management

"This novel and innovative book focuses on the topical subject of Informational Entrepreneurship. It presents new thinking about what is possible from an entrepreneurial perspective. I highly recommend it for its practical and useful insights."

-Vanessa Ratten, Associate Professor, La Trobe University, Victoria, Australia

This book organizes entrepreneurship theory in a way that constitutes a new body of knowledge, which is Informational Entrepreneurship. It can serve as a basis for teaching entrepreneurship and reducing performance uncertainty. Although entrepreneurship is not entirely about information, information determines how it can be systematically understood while depending less on luck. It also offers the only known, experimentally tested approach that incorporates decision support tools. Other known approaches rely on exposition for validation; whereas, Informational Entrepreneurship uses two-sample experiments that controlled for other explanations as well as experimenter bias. It will appeal to those studying and teaching entrepreneurship who are looking for a prescriptive approach, rather than a descriptive approach.
