It changed it and also enhanced it. I had a little knowledge of business studies in high school, but there was very little that was taught about entrepreneurship. The experience was brief. I was able to consider factors that could affect a startup in a country that I was not aware of after reading this book.

This book went deeper and altered my perspective on startups and entrepreneurship. It also kind of opened my eyes to the possibility of variables that I had never considered before that could have an impact on a startup in another nation.

No, I don't think it did. I only new ideas and concepts by virtue of reading this book. I learnt that the success of a firm is largely dependent on the business environment and other factors sucha s organizational management and policies. It is obvious that works for one might not work for another.
Overall, this book is important for every business person within or outside America.

Not only did it change it, but it also broadened it. I did Business Studies when I was in high school, but there wasn't much that was taught about entrepreneurship. It was mostly a brief thing. This book delved further and changed my perception about entrepreneurship and startups, and it kind of opened my mind to regard factors that could affect a startup in a country that I wasn't aware of in the first place.

Yes, this book changed how I see entrepreneurship. Growing up in a capitalist society, I didn’t fully understand the benefits and opportunities it offers. Learning about how our English ancestors were restricted by social class made me appreciate capitalism and entrepreneurship more. The book provided much more detail than what I learned in high school Business Studies. It expanded my understanding of what affects startups and highlighted the big advantages of entrepreneurship. I’m really happy I read it.
