Abstract:
Hosting a business venture entirely through information technology (IT) has increasingly been the initiative of many entrepreneurs. The existence of IT in the small-business sector promotes entrepreneurship by providing opportunities outside of any other business realm: using IT as a strategic advantage, entrepreneurs can quickly move toward achieving their business goals. Cases on Information Technology and Entrepreneurship looks into how IT can be the structural foundation of an entrepreneurship, and describes specific examples of IT as the base of a start-up company--providing insight into the successes and failures of applying IT in innovative ways.
