Publisher's Synopsis
ABOUT THE BOOK
Academic literature has historically provided reasons why African-American entrepreneurs failed in business. Minimal research evidence existed on successful African American entrepreneurs' proven business characteristics, traits, and practices. There are African-American entrepreneurs who have established successful businesses despite centuries of discrimination that led to the social impacts of access to capital, limited business experience, and entrepreneurial knowledge.
