Nebraska Entrepreneurs Heat Up in a Cool Economic Market

While the nation's job market cools, some of Nebraska's top entrepreneurs may be heating up. The entrepreneur's story, revealed in groundbreaking research and surveys done for a new book, reveals a journey of great risk -- but potentially great reward.

Entrepreneurship in Nebraska: Conditions, Attitudes, and Actions by Eric C. Thompson and William B. Walstad (Gallup Press; March 2008; paperback) examines the vital role of entrepreneurship in the Nebraska economy. The authors, both leading UNL Economics professors, present surprising findings from extensive Gallup surveys on the attitudes of both small-business owners and the general public on subjects ranging from starting a business, entrepreneurship education, economic development, business transition, and succession planning.
