This book examines the illegal behaviour of entrepreneurs and
discusses how criminal entrepreneurs acquire information, learn
from their entrepreneurial experiences, and utilize acquired
knowledge to develop their organizations. The chapters demonstrate
several dimensions of the entrepreneurial processes, such as
imagination, innovation, calculated risk taking, alertness to
opportunities, opportunity identification, as well as resource
assemblage and leverage to exploit an opportunity - all in a
criminal context. Illegal methods used by entrepreneurs to identify
solutions to problems that lead to the generation of business
opportunities are illustrated. Moreover, methods used by criminal
entrepreneurs to circumvent barriers to the entrepreneurial process
and business developments are highlighted. Issues relating to the
formation of crimino-entrepreneurial ventures are critically
discussed. Emerging issues relating to illegal corporate
entrepreneurship are illustrated.
Entrepreneurship is a hot topic, yet there is no agreed definition
of entrepreneurship. There is even debate about whether
entrepreneurship can be taught! This text and case study collection
is designed to stimulate critical thinking and reflective learning
relating to entrepreneurship. This book enables you to focus on the
key issues that need to be considered with regard to new ventures
and/or a business plan module, as well as courses on theory and
policy relating to entrepreneurship and small businesses.
Universities globally are under pressure from an expanding range of
stakeholders to provide enterprise education and support to
students. Enterprise education had become a research domain in
itself and an increasingly important aspect of UK universities'
curricular. Within the UK, policymakers consider enterprise
education, and the skills it develops, as increasing student's
employability skills, regardless of what their primary subject of
study is, and thereby assisting them in gaining employment upon.
Despite this growth, there is ongoing debate regarding the
effectiveness of entrepreneurship education and there are calls for
further evidence to validate its impact. This book meets that call
in providing further evidence for best practice and successful
deployment. Authors provide evidence to inform the entrepreneurial
education discipline in terms of best practice, success stories and
identify its future direction for key stakeholders. The book
concludes with a summary from the authors which will analyse and
contrast the emergent themes identified in each chapter.
The term "entrepreneurship" has usually been associated with
private sector activities. The term has appeared frequently in
public sector literature, with scholars challenged to find new
multi-disciplinary frameworks. This collection contributes to the
debate due to a confusing array of terminology on creativity,
innovation and entrepreneurship. Scholars and practitioners are
looking for flexible and adaptable approaches to shaping
organisations. Key challenges face public sector institutions and
partners, and success will be dependent on how well the public
sector finds new ways to deliver excellent public services, and
leverage support and resources from non-state partners. Public
sectors across the globe have a poor record on productivity despite
a dramatic expansion in public expenditure, but the on-going global
economic recession has brought into focus the "innovation and
enterprise imperative" (Brown & Osborne, 2013). Innovation is
embedded into daily routines and interactions with non-state
actors, but these chapters illustrate ample evidence on how
innovative actors can be. Scholars have contributed studies of
flourishing innovation and enterprise in this important field.
This fourth volume in the Contemporary Issues in Entrepreneurship
Research series edited by Colette Henry and Gerard McElwee draws
together contemporary research contributions that critically
explore a range of issues relating to rural enterprise. The
chapters in this volume consider the various iterations of rural
enterprise noting the underpinning synergy of the rural context but
exploring the diversity of how this is articulated. Within this
overarching theme, the volume contributors explore topics ranging
across issues relating to networks, social exclusion, communities
and gender. Research is presented from a range of different
countries, including the UK, Ireland, Bulgaria, New Zealand, and
Africa. The various studies use conceptual frameworks that underpin
generic entrepreneurial theory and practice but recognise that
their articulation within the rural environment acts as a
particular lens to offer a novel perspective upon these issues. In
offering their insightful critique, Henry & McElwee draw
attention to the critical nature of rurality and its impact on
entrepreneurship, thus furthering understanding in this area.
