Buying Your Way into Entrepreneurship

Ruback, Richard S., and Royce Yudkoff. (2017)

Harvard Business Review 95, no. 1 (January-February 2017): 149-153

The magazine article that accompanies the book; it introduces the term "acquisition entrepreneurship" for buying and running an existing operation. Volume, issue and pages are from the HBS faculty publication list. The only data point in the visible text is attributed to a third party: "A record number of such transactions occurred in the United States during the first three quarters of 2016, according to BizBuySell, an online small-business marketplace." The remainder is behind the paywall and was not read.
