Empowering Entrepreneurial Communities and Ecosystems - Case Study Insights (Hardcover): Morgan R. Clevenger, Michael W P... Empowering Entrepreneurial Communities and Ecosystems - Case Study Insights (Hardcover)
Morgan R. Clevenger, Michael W P Fortunato
R4,609 Discovery Miles 46 090 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Entrepreneurial Communities and Ecosystems: Case Study Insights aims to provide applied examples that embody the theories, principles, and processes that contribute to empowering everyday entrepreneurial communities and ecosystems. Relying on a diversity of narratives from a wide range of entrepreneurial communities, entrepreneurial ecosystems, and organizations, this book presents a collection of case studies that take the reader inside the minds of leaders who are working to empower entrepreneurs and build entrepreneurial ecosystems and entrepreneurial communities-sometimes from scratch. The book features research and stories from entrepreneurs, development agencies, entrepreneurial support and assistance organizations (i.e. feeders and supports), governments, and involved citizens and local leaders in their quest to make their communities more entrepreneuring. The book presents an analytic frame through which the case studies are cross-analyzed, providing "meta-guidelines" for pursuing a broad range of strategies for supporting local and regional entrepreneurial action. This research volume is equally useful as an undergraduate or graduate text on the sociology of entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship as it is a field guide for ecosystem builders, policy makers, nonprofits, and entrepreneurship and social researchers worldwide.

Entrepreneurial "communities" and "ecosystems" are hot topics in the popular literature, but there are few authoritative resources on these topics in the academic or professional literature. This book packs relevant theory, ideas, and narratives into one resource delivered with clear, unfettered language that anyone can easily understand. The book presents original case study research underscoring the role of leadership and culture in developing highly entrepreneurial communities.

Entrepreneurship, Community, and Community Development (Paperback): Theodore R. Alter, Michael W P Fortunato Entrepreneurship, Community, and Community Development (Paperback)
Theodore R. Alter, Michael W P Fortunato
R1,282 Discovery Miles 12 820 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

While entrepreneurship is widely cited as playing a key role in economic development, job creation, and advances in well-being in capitalist nations, there has been an overwhelming focus on the firm, firm founders, and founders' strategies and decision-making processes. Only more recently, the important link between communities and entrepreneurs has emerged as a new frontier in entrepreneurship research. This book brings the emerging nexus between community and entrepreneur to light by exploring the mutual impact that communities and entrepreneurs have on one another. It focuses on how entrepreneurship development can push beyond the traditional emphasis on economic growth: from enriching the local lifestyle to building self-sufficiency; from attracting new markets to rediscovering traditional work; from the highest tech enterprises to the most ancient crafts and trades. The authors cover a wide variety of topics including rural community entrepreneurship development and culture, innovation and regional development, community-based enterprise learning, and urban revitalization strategies. This book was originally published as a special issue of the journal Community Development.

Reinventing Rural - New Realities in an Urbanizing World (Hardcover): Alexander R. Thomas, Gregory M. Fulkerson Reinventing Rural - New Realities in an Urbanizing World (Hardcover)

Reinventing Rural is a collection of original research papers that examine the ways in which rural people and places are changing in the context of an urbanizing world. This includes exploring the role of the environment, the economy, and related issues such as tourism. While traditionally relying on primary sector work in agriculture, mining, natural resources, and the like, rural areas are finding new ways to sustain themselves. This involves a new emphasis on environmental protection, as one important strategy has been to capitalize on natural amenities to attract residents and tourists. Beyond improvements to the economy are general improvements to the quality-of-life in rural communities. Consistent with this, the volume focuses on the two cornerstones of education and health, considering current challenges and offering ideas for reinventing rural quality-of-life.
