Ways in which poverty can be reduced in both countries and regions
through business, entrepreneurship and government has been a hot
issue for researchers and policymakers in recent years. Governments
can play an important role in helping the poor people by non-profit
organizations and others that help to seed business among the poor.
Businesses increasingly also see the large number of people in
severe poverty not only as an issue for social concern, but also as
a potentially large untapped market of consumers for goods and
services. Some scholars have called for poverty reduction through
entrepreneurship owing to the fact that it can be an efficient path
to also change the poor's attitudes and behaviours from a passive
mode, to a more active mode towards poverty reduction economically
and socially. In addition, the sharing economy brings opportunities
where everyone is a micro-entrepreneur. There is a recognition that
these types of entrepreneurship above could offer the greatest
single potential means to move individuals out of poverty in the
nations and regions in the next 5-10 years. This book provides new
and valuable analyses of poverty and business, entrepreneurship and
innovation in current nations and regions including developing and
developed countries. As business, entrepreneurship and innovation
can help to generate greater business activity in settings of
severe poverty, they will help to solve poverty, as individuals in
severe poverty are able to both generate greater incomes and
accumulate greater assets as they participate with large firms in
those activities. The chapters in this book were originally
published as a special issue of the Entrepreneurship & Regional
Development.

Quality of teaching has proved to be an elusive construct. This
book is based on extensive interviews with 18 truly exemplary
teachers at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. The book explains
and illustrates the principles of excellent teaching that underpin
the way these teachers plan and teach their courses. What content,
teaching strategies and assessment tasks do they select? What do
they actually do in their classrooms? How do they establish and
maintain relationships with their students? How do they improve
their own practice through evaluation? These principles of
excellent teaching apply across all disciplines and, indeed, across
the global higher education community.
