Review Public Venture Capital: Government Funding Sources for Technology Entrepreneurs - 2000 edition / Harcourt:Public Venture Capital is an invaluable resource you will use again and again when seeking an inside track to government dollars. Relatively few entrepreneurs are aware that government funds from programs with acronyms like SBIR, ATP, Dual Use, ManTech, DARPA, and Act II can provide both initial and later-stage venture capital for their companies. Moreover, public venture capital programs do not require equity in exchange. Funding is available to technology start-ups and innovative firms through a variety of government programs. The purpose of this book is to familiarize you with the concept of public venture capital and to illustrate how to use the above-mentioned programs to fund technology endeavors. Public Venture Capital brings together information and resources on programs that make funds available to technology entrepreneurs and innovative firms on a competitve basis. Whether your interest is in a specific project or technology idea or you are looking for more general information regarding public venture capital, this book will be specifically helpful to you. Public Venture Capital provides insight and helpful hints - based on interviews with successful applicants and current program officers - on how to win government funding awards. More important, it provides the tools needed to gain access to revelant programs and people. This book is organized to allow you to go from broad topic areas to your specific areas of interest. [+]
For example, if you have a specific project in mind you can go to the Science and Technology Index and spot where your project fits in. From this starting point you will be guided elsewhere in the book to find leads for making appropriate contacts, to find more information about current programs in your field, and to learn how and why these programs were founded. In contrast to private venture capital, government is not trying to earn a profit. Its objectives are to generate jobs, to assist the growth of the economy, and to increase tax revenues in the long term. Thus, government programs may offer funding to a broader range of technologies than do private venture capital firms. You'll even receive lists of agencies, proposal preparation kits, lists of resource centers, list of Web sites, policy guides for specific agencies, sample proposals, and more on the FREE companion CD-ROM!.

Review Entrepreneurship and Industry in India, 1800-1947 (Themes in Indian History: Oxford in India Readings) / OUP India:When the new states of India and Pakistan attained independence in 1947, the economy of the subcontinent was backward, predominantly agricultural and characterized by massive poverty. Why this was so has been the subject of prolonged debate, going back to the acrimonious controversy between Lord Curzon and R. C. Dutt at the beginning of this century. But there were important developments in India business and industry later, especially the growth of modern industry under Indian enterprise between the world wars. At the time of independence, India possessed a large and fairly sophisticated modern industrial complex-in fact the biggest in the underdeveloped part of the world. How this came to pass has been the subject of scholarly investigation and speculation since independence. The essays-all by prominent historians and economists- appearing in this volume focus on the theme, namely the emergence of entrepreneurs and industry in India during the colonial period. They also illustrate aspects of the investment behavior of the various European and Indian communities (e. g. [+]
the Parsis and the Marwaris) involved in business and industry. In an extremely detailed and comprehensive introduction, Ray discusses the series of questions that have arisen on the history of Indian business and industry, such as: why did the linking of Indian capital to industry come so late; how was the bazaar kept distant from the bank; what benefits did European enterprise confer on India's economic development, if any; why did the Bombay region become so important to the colonial economy; and what were the major trends in production and employment.

Review Handbook of Research on Venture Capital / Edward Elgar Publishing:This authoritative and accessible Handbook provides an excellent overview of the various facets of venture capital and their related issues. The book opens with a thorough survey of venture capital as a research field; conceptual, theoretical, methodological and geographic aspects are explored, and its pioneers revisited. The focus then shifts to the specific environs of venture capital. Firstly, formal (institutional) venture capital is discussed. The analysis encompasses considerations such as: structure, pre-investment processes, venture capitalist's value-adding, performance, and impact on economic development, early-stage financing as well as management buyouts. Business angel research, their investment decision making, and business angel networks are then discussed under the wider umbrella of informal venture capital. Finally, the corporate venture capital market is explored from the entrepreneur's perspective as well as the supply side of corporate venture capital. Also providing a lively and stimulating debate on policy implications and possible directions for future venture capital research, this all-encompassing Handbook will prove an invaluable reference tool for those with an interest in business, management, entrepreneurship and the financing of new enterprises.
