The literature on entrepreneurship research has generally ignored the agricultural sector. Few entrepreneurship scholars who are mostly agricultural economists and rural sociologists have contributed in parallel with an isolated body of work without much integration and a larger research agenda. Most of the work in agriculture entrepreneurship focuses on the traditional operations of the sector but lacks the theoretical framework required for a broader conceptual understanding of entrepreneurship in the agriculture sector. There is not much alliance between these two parallel research streams. Theoretical and methodological differences have constrained the interdisciplinary collaboration. Driving Factors for Venture Creation and Success in Agricultural Entrepreneurship assesses the main themes of agripreneurship, discusses important contextual aspects of the agriculture sector to enhance the understanding of entrepreneurship, and highlights how the key contextual dimensions of the agricultural sector can elucidate some of the less understood aspects of entrepreneurship theory and practice. Covering topics such as agribusiness and farm entrepreneurship, it is ideal for entrepreneurs, agriculturalists, professionals, researchers, students, academicians, and policymakers working in the field of entrepreneurship in various disciplines: management, education, agriculture education, sociology, economics, psychology, and technology.

South-South migration contributes significantly to the development of the emerging economies, the migration of receiving countries and, at the same time, generates a major share of remittance income flowing into the sending countries. By capturing field experience and observations from a number of research studies, this book provides a robust catalogue of data, practical experience and analysis focused on the significant issues, risks and challenges that are associated with this evolving phenomenon in international migration. The book also critically explores new theoretical perspectives by highlighting new policy directions for both sending and receiving countries relevant to making South-South migration more efficient, attractive and mutually beneficial.

A common theme throughout my book explores how Almighty God, Creator of the universe, is the controller of the entire destiny of mankind, and of all the creations on earth, throughout history through science and religion. The book describes how I, a Bengali boy, survived all the uncertainties, many tragedies and dangerous upheavals to fulfil my destiny to be a doctor with God's blessing. Born in 1943, a child of the British Empire, in a Bengali family of Chittagong, I qualified as a medical doctor in 1965 from Chittagong medical college. My family survived the forgotten Holocaust of the Bengal famine (1943-44), WW11 carnage in Asia and in Europe, blood bath of communal riots between Hindu, Muslim and Sikh causing millions of death and uprooting millions across the Indo-Pakistan border following the partition of India in 1947 into two independent nations of Pakistan, a Muslim state, and India, a Hindu state. East Bengal became East Pakistan, and since then, the Bengali people suffered continuous discrimination, imprisonment and brutal murder for protesting to restore Bangla Basha (Bangla language), for Bengalis. For 24 years, the Pakistani Government consistently denied Bengalis their democratic rights for social, political and economic equity, until Bangladesh became a free nation in 1971 following the liberation war against Pakistan. My father wanted me to become the first medical doctor in his family. The book explores how my destiny was shaped and reshaped through many national and international upheavals of historical importance. Following the 1970 national election victory of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the army of General Yahya Khan, president of Pakistan, murdered more than 3 million Bengalis in a bloody genocide in order to deny the democratically elected right of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, a Bengali, to become the Prime Minister of Pakistan.
