Ask Slashdot: What Are Your Favorite Books On Entrepreneurship?

Posted by BeauHD on from the book-worm dept.

An anonymous reader writes: There are excellent well-known books like Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson and Shoe Dog by Phil Knight, but I find some of the lesser-known books about tech entrepreneurship very interesting, like A Triumph of Genius about Edwin Land of Polaroid or Riding the Runaway Horse about An Wang of Wang Laboratories. Also, there's Fast Forward by Lardner about VHS/Betamax. What books regarding entrepreneurship would Slashdotters recommend?

Oracle didn't become the powerhouse it is today because Larry got up at arse o' clock every day and ran 14 furlongs before breakfast. And you're not going to replicate their success by emulating them. Some self-help books can help you become more effective as a person, especially in terms of better managing your time, but they are not going to help super-charge your startup.

Another one is "Crossing the chasm"; this deals mostly with marketing but has some useful examples in it. By all means read all that stuff, but don't expect it to greatly improve business or even your odds, and certainly don't expect a roadmap towards starting your own business.
