MUST READ BOOKS FOR ENTREPRENEURS

"One of the bestselling business books of the century" -- Financial Times
The book discusses some breakthrough secrets which most of the people know in "a wrong way". Blue Ocean Strategy clearly explains why there is no competition in the business if you are doing it in the right way.
An Amazon reader has defined the book in the best possible way. Let me quote him here:
As I read, I reflected on the work of developing entrepreneurial ventures in barren and sometimes depressed sub-economies in under-served communities. I reflected on the range of talent, resourcefulness, and perseverance in these communities. Why, then, donāt they have more āBlue Oceansā of uncontested market space? Or is it that our minds and souls are so numb that, as in the bookās Circus del Sol case study illustrates, we canāt envision the extraordinary? Are we living in self-imposed exile in the proverbial Dead Sea while the Blue Ocean waves are licking at our feet?
