Entrepreneurship is the backbone of a strong economy.
Necessity-driven entrepreneurs make up a large portion of the
employed population and analyzing their methods and habits offers
numerous benefits for future workers. Nascent Entrepreneurship and
Successful New Venture Creation is a valuable resource that delves
into the current trends and methodologies of recent entrepreneurs
and entrepreneurial activities. Highlighting relevant topics that
include non-cognitive skills, intellectual capital protection,
regional development, and technology-based firms, this scholarly
reference source is an ideal publication for business managers,
organizational leaders, professionals, and researchers that would
like to discover new insights into the world of entrepreneurship.
Over the last few years, we have witnessed the enormous success of
corporate social responsibility and business all over the world.
These developments, including those in which governments foster
both growth through entrepreneurship and achievement of sustainable
development by creating tools for worldwide impact to reconcile
business interests with the demands of communities, have been
unequivocal concerning job and wealth creation. Replacing
short-term visions, however, has become instrumental to business
success throughout the industry. Conceptual and Theoretical
Approaches to Corporate Social Responsibility, Entrepreneurial
Orientation, and Financial Performance is a pivotal reference
source that explores corporate social responsibility through the
lens of entrepreneurship and firm performance in an effort to
change the approach towards long-term growth. While highlighting
topics such as risk management, stewardship theory, and CEO
duality, this publication explores contributions to societal
welfare and methods of business creation. This book is ideally
designed for managers, executives, human resources professionals,
entrepreneurs, developers, academicians, researchers, industry
professionals, and students.
The aim of this volume is to explore entrepreneurship and business
from the perspective of Islamic principles, which are usually based
on collaboration, teamwork, generosity and altruism. The
contributions deal with the confluence of Islamic Principles with
entrepreneurial and business ownership characteristics; resource
use by entrepreneurs; means of entrepreneurial success, and ethics
and social responsibility.
Economic development is a priority for all nation-states, whether
developing or developed. In recent times, a few among the
developing nations - often referred to as the emerging economies -
have attracted the world's attention because of their fast pace of
economic growth. While the similarities among these nations (for
example the BRICS) in the pattern of their economic growth are
highlighted and discussed, the differences are often glossed over.
This book, therefore, attempts to present the diverse ways in which
entrepreneurship is facilitated in emerging economies, through a
compilation of research papers from six different countries (India,
China, Singapore, Hong Kong, Nigeria and New Zealand) belonging to
the class of emerging economies. The papers included in this book
cover a variety of topics related to the creation and management of
an entrepreneurial ecosystem, such as intercultural interactions,
IPR issues, government policies for SMEs, social entrepreneurship,
opportunity identification, green entrepreneurship, employee
entrepreneurship, symbiotic ventures and social capital, social
fluidity mapping for reducing failure stigma, green awareness in
the corporate world and among entrepreneurs, venture capital for
growth, immigrant entrepreneurs, entrepreneurial success and life
satisfaction, among others. The contributions are supported by an
introductory chapter that provides an integrative framework by
unifying the diverse patterns of economic development in the
different countries under various institutional inadequacies as a
process of "muddling-through to development", necessitated by the
non-systematic development of the ecosystem for new venture
creation. This book is indeed a must-read for those interested in
understanding the process of entrepreneurship and economic
development in emerging economies.
What is one of the best ways to successfully predict the future?
Winston Churchill believed that the further back you look, the
further forward you are likely to be able to see. This intriguing
book is testimony to this idea. It looks back two thousand years to
the Roman Empire to help us to see into our own future. We imagine
the Roman Empire as being a world very distant from ours, so
distant that we may think we have nothing to learn from them. That
however would be a mistake. The causes of the triumphs and
disasters of our times are much the same as those of the Roman
Empire. The Romans were people like us and the wisest of their
great men and women were as wise as the best of ours.
Unfortunately, the most foolish of theirs were just as the foolish
as the worst of ours. Pugnare is the first historical account of
the Roman Empire written from a practical business perspective. It
is also about people, because business is about people. We can
learn a lot from their behaviour, from their successes and
failures.
Due to the 2008-2009 crisis, the United Nations 2030 agenda for
sustainable development, and the COVID-19 pandemic, the role of
entrepreneurship has become more critical in most economies.
Moreover, emerging protectionist policies are further encouraging
the emergence of new entrepreneurial projects, particularly to
replace goods and services traditionally provided by other
countries. Understanding current challenges and best practices in
nascent entrepreneurship is integral for the successful launching
of new ventures to support the revitalization of economies and
achieve sustainability. The Handbook of Research on Nascent
Entrepreneurship and Creating New Ventures is a crucial reference
source that covers the latest empirical research findings in the
field of entrepreneurship and addresses the obstacles entrepreneurs
face in these recent challenging times. The book embraces a
pluralistic perspective from academicians currently navigating
nascent entrepreneurship and key concepts for launching successful
new ventures. Covering topics that include government support
programs, spin-off companies, leadership, strategic
entrepreneurship, and crowdfunding, this book is targeted towards
entrepreneurs, professionals, academicians, researchers, and
students.
This book explores public sector entrepreneurship from an
international perspective. It features essays from eminent scholars
in the field addressing entrepreneurial public policies from
different countries. Public sector entrepreneurship is at the cusp
of becoming a watchword in international policy circles. This book
is a pioneer volume in this emerging field and provides topics and
policies that are broadly applicable across different economies.
Public sector entrepreneurship refers to innovative public policy
initiatives that generate greater economic prosperity by
transforming a status-quo economic environment into one that is
more conducive to economic units engaging in creative activities in
the face of uncertainty. In today's economy, public sector
entrepreneurship affects that transformation primarily by
increasing the effectiveness of knowledge networks; that is, by
increasing the heterogeneity of experiential ties among economic
units and the ability of those same economic units to exploit such
diversity. Through policy initiatives that are characterized by
public sector entrepreneurship, there will be more development of
new technology and hence more innovation throughout the economy.
Technology has emerged as an important component in businesses and
organizations by allowing for modern innovations through the
internet and other information and communication technologies.
Modern Entrepreneurship and E-Business Innovations provides
advanced knowledge of e-entrepreneurship and innovation as well as
emerging theories, applications and challenges. This book is an
essential reference source for researchers, practitioners, and
executives interested in a better understanding of a comprehensive
framework for e-business and entrepreneurship.
The contributors focus on the individual, organisational, and
institutional levels of social entrepreneurship, addressing the
role of personal values and leadership in the conduct of
initiatives while stressing the importance of stakeholders in
relation to human resource management, innovation, or opportunity
discovery.

Nearly 40% percent of all U.S. businesses are women-owned, and by
2025 the Census Bureau projects it will rise to 55%. The trend is
new, dating back just to the 1980s, but its impact is already felt.
Not only are women achieving empowerment and bettering their lives
in many different ways, but the beneficial affect on the economic
well-being of the entire country is also clear. Coughlin examines
the fundamental problems that face women entrepreneurs globally;
identifies, documents, and explains how they cope with and solve
them; profiles the more successful entrepreneurs today and explains
how they got where they are; and delineates the traits of a
successful entrepreneur. (There is also a metric that funders can
use to evaluate how their entrepreneur clients are doing, useful
for entrepreneurs too as a way of benchmarking their own progress.)
Research based, well written, with a useful list of organizations
that offer help to owners and prospective owners of new businesses,
plus real life accounts that get to the heart of what it takes to
succeed as an entrepreneur, Coughlin's book is welcome, necessary
reading for anyone fascinated by business--and eager to create a
business of one's own. Coughlin's book is divided into three
sections. In the first, she documents the phenomenal growth of
women-owned business, and the affects that globalization is having
on them. She discusses the age-old problem of female equality, and
puts the growth of their businesses into the context of women's
empowerment. Section two focuses on the entrepreneurs themselves.
Coughlin tells what we know about them, who they are, the kinds of
businesses they start, and then categorizes and explains
theirmotivations, economic as well as social. In Section Three she
describes the process of business formation, the challenges women
face, and the solutions to problems, often extreme, they have
found. Included here are sections on evaluating organizations that
offer help, and a new viewpoint on how the efficacy of help can and
should be measured. A comprehensive resource guide for anyone
interested in learning more about female entrepreneurs, and a
sample business plan to use in seeking financial aid, are included
in an appendix.
