This book focuses on the role of subsistence entrepreneurs in
creating social and sustainable business opportunities on the
global marketplace. Subsistence entrepreneurs use scarce resources
to create new business opportunities, often in developing or
emerging economies. In addition, subsistence entrepreneurship is
increasingly being used as a way to facilitate market entry for
small and medium-sized business enterprises that focus on
collaborative innovation. The interdisciplinary contributions
gathered here will expand readers' understanding of the nature and
characteristics of subsistence entrepreneurs, as well as the
challenges they face. The central connection between subsistence,
sustainability and social entrepreneurship is also explored.
Sustainable entrepreneurship focuses on how the environment is
embedded within business practices. This book examines
collaboration strategies and initiatives for sustainable
entrepreneurs with a wide variety of partners, and demonstrates how
they can be used to increase overall performance and achieve global
competitiveness. Based on the latest empirical evidence from
emerging economies, the book's respective chapters address
sustainability issues in connection with knowledge creation and
learning, outsourcing, and the roles of universities, consultants,
and the public sector.
This book places knowledge, learning and innovation at the heart of
cross-sector collaborations. Collaboration for innovation is a
topic that has attracted widespread interest from academics,
business strategists and government officials. To date the
collaborations have focused on the performance management process
and more specifically on how to encourage collaboration. However,
businesses across the world are realizing that for cross-sector
collaboration to be successful, it is necessary for firms to share
knowledge and innovation through a process of learning. The book
contributes to this by providing fresh insights into ways to
stimulate cross-sector collaboration. It presents diverse methods
and approaches to unify the dimensions of knowledge, learning and
innovation and discusses how collaboration can be created,
sustained, and expanded.

This book covers all aspects of the economics and management of
geotourism, an increasingly important sector of nature tourism that
focuses on the geology and landscape of different territories,
providing a pleasurable and educational tourist experience.
Geotourism is a sustainable form of tourism that has the potential
to deliver significant benefits to host communities. To date,
however, geotourism has been examined primarily from the natural
sciences perspective, to the detriment of issues related to local
social and economic impacts, inter-organizational collaboration,
tourist responses, and community participation. This book therefore
fills a major gap in the literature. While a key focus is the
impacts of geotourism on economic and social development processes
and the quality of life of local populations, detailed attention is
also devoted to topics such as geopark and geosystem management,
innovative and entrepreneurial strategies in geotourism, and
territorial marketing. In addition, readers will gain a clear
understanding of the extent to which the opportunities and
challenges facing geotourism reflect current trends in the tourist
industry as a whole.
