This edited volume develops an understanding of the strategies,
processes, issues and concerns involved when small and medium-sized
enterprises (SMEs) go international with their local
products/services and vice versa. It is a compendium of eighteen
selected chapters on the subject, supported by an introductory
chapter. The contributions are organized in four parts based on the
sub-themes they deal with. The first part, containing the
introductory chapter, provides different perspectives on
transnational entrepreneurship, returnee entrepreneurship and their
linkages with the internationalization process. The subsequent
parts have chapters dealing with three sub-themes of the subject -
the internal factors (individual and firm-level resources), the
external factors (entrepreneurial ecosystem), and the process of
organizational transformation and change, respectively, in the
context of SME internationalization. Special issues and challenges
being faced by SME entrepreneurs in emerging economies have been
highlighted in this book, discussing key contemporary issues with
regard to internationalization in the three dimensions outlined
above. Further, the book explains how an entrepreneur can engineer
the transformation of his/her organization into an international
SME. This book is a very useful resource for entrepreneurs and
policy-makers in general, and for academics and researchers in
particular, as it provides an overview of the contemporary research
in the critical areas of SME internationalization and transnational
entrepreneurship by highlighting the linkages between them with
special reference to emerging economies.
Economic development is a priority for all nation-states, whether
developing or developed. In recent times, a few among the
developing nations - often referred to as the emerging economies -
have attracted the world's attention because of their fast pace of
economic growth. While the similarities among these nations (for
example the BRICS) in the pattern of their economic growth are
highlighted and discussed, the differences are often glossed over.
This book, therefore, attempts to present the diverse ways in which
entrepreneurship is facilitated in emerging economies, through a
compilation of research papers from six different countries (India,
China, Singapore, Hong Kong, Nigeria and New Zealand) belonging to
the class of emerging economies. The papers included in this book
cover a variety of topics related to the creation and management of
an entrepreneurial ecosystem, such as intercultural interactions,
IPR issues, government policies for SMEs, social entrepreneurship,
opportunity identification, green entrepreneurship, employee
entrepreneurship, symbiotic ventures and social capital, social
fluidity mapping for reducing failure stigma, green awareness in
the corporate world and among entrepreneurs, venture capital for
growth, immigrant entrepreneurs, entrepreneurial success and life
satisfaction, among others. The contributions are supported by an
introductory chapter that provides an integrative framework by
unifying the diverse patterns of economic development in the
different countries under various institutional inadequacies as a
process of "muddling-through to development", necessitated by the
non-systematic development of the ecosystem for new venture
creation. This book is indeed a must-read for those interested in
understanding the process of entrepreneurship and economic
development in emerging economies.
