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.
Invasive species are among the greatest challenges to environmental
sustainability and agricultural productivity in the world. One of
the most promising approaches to managing invasive species is
voluntary citizen stewardship. However, in order for control
measures to be effective, private citizens often need to make
sustained and sometimes burdensome commitments. Community-Based
Control of Invasive Species is based on five years of research by
leading scholars in natural resource and human behavioural
sciences, which involved government and citizen groups in Australia
and the United States. It examines questions including, 'how can
citizens be engaged in voluntarily managing invasive species?',
'what communication strategies will ensure good motivation and
coordination?' and 'how can governing bodies support citizens in
their efforts?'. With chapters on institutional frameworks,
changing governance, systems thinking, organisational learning,
engagement, communication and behavioural change, this book will be
a valuable reference for researchers and practitioners involved in
natural resources management.
