Prospective entrepreneurs often ask me if there is any reading I recommend. Entrepreneurs often do not have time to read but I did find these books useful ( I normally skip portions that do not interest me like almost the entire first section of CK Prahlads book – I found some of the case studies in the second section fascinating)
Innovators Solution by Clayton M. Christensen –isbn 1-57851-852-0
Harvard Business Review on Entrepreneurship – isbn 0-87584-910-5
New Venture Creation 5th edition – by Timmons – isbn 0-256-19756-3
The Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid – By CK Prahlad – isbn 81-297-0712-8

Although I was not able to acquire some of the books you suggested in this post, I was able to go through the omnipresent Table Of Contents and the luring Chapter Excerpt found in Amazon.com. I guess these books pose as an arsenal any budding entreprenuer like myself should be equipped with. Thank Sanjay!
Sanjay,
Let me also recommend Capitalism at the Crossroads by Stuart Hart. Hart, a professor at Cornell Business School co-wrote the intitial “Bottom of the Pyramid” paper with CKP.
