'After more than twenty years in public office and ten years
traveling the world for my Foundation, I've concluded that the best
outcomes occur when a strong, effective private sector works
together with an innovative, entrepreneurial government to promote
the economy. I know that as you read this book, you ll gain
invaluable insights about the type of government that will succeed
in the twenty-first century.' - From the foreword by President
William Jefferson Clinton Challenging the traditional view that
entrepreneurship is exclusively a private-sector concern,
Governpreneurship presents a compelling argument for increased
focus on entrepreneurship in public sector organizations. The only
book to date to focus specifically on government entrepreneurship,
this innovative volume combines Robert D. Hisrich's vast
theoretical knowledge with the practical experience of Amr
Al-Dabbagh, who applied entrepreneurship in the Saudi public sector
with excellent results. Featuring forewords by former US President
Bill Clinton and former Malaysian Prime Minister Dr. Mahathir
Mohamad, as well as four case studies that demonstrate the
effectiveness of government entrepreneurship in action, this
fascinating book breaks new ground in a rapidly growing field. In a
time when government funds are being reduced and its services
increasingly questioned, fostering an entrepreneurial spirit within
the government becomes a vital concern. Although there is no ideal
model for achieving government entrepreneurship, this volume
outlines a number of innovative strategies designed to help public
sector managers undertake their public mission while developing an
entrepreneurial culture within their organization. The authors
offer thorough and indispensible advice covering every aspect of
government entrepreneurship, from framework to policy to funding
and beyond. Finally, the book concludes with four case studies that
explore successful government entrepreneurial undertakings in
Ireland, Singapore, Saudi Arabia and Switzerland. Government
officials and other leaders in the public sector will find this
book an indispensible guide to establishing an entrepreneurial
focus in their organizations. Professors and students working in
entrepreneurship, public sector management, and other
business-related fields will also have much to admire in this
innovative addition to the literature.
