Description

Crossroads for a Young Entrepreneur details a career dilemma faced by Jaap Bala, a recent graduate, who created a successful business with his peers while at university and now faces questions about his future. Should Bala continue to focus on the business he has helped create, or should he turn his attention to pursuing his career independently? If Bala continues his work with the business, how should he proceed to steward it on its path to success?
