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.

The book illuminates the entrepreneurial conditions and attitudes among the different regions in Nebraska and finds the climate ripe for entrepreneurship statewide and not just in the Metro areas. more
