This book was released on 2002-12-10 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contrary to traditional belief, entrepreneurism is not just about making money, nor is it merely about starting up a venture or owning a small business — it is a way of life, applicable to all human economic activities. Living on a planet with finite resources, humanity is sustainable only if there is constant pursuit of innovation and creativity, not just for personal gain but also for the common good.This book provides concise definitions of ‘entrepreneurism’, ‘entrepreneurship’, ‘entrepreneur’ and ‘entrepreneurial’ for education and application within the framework of the market economy; acts as a signpost pointing the way toward balancing the short-term need for survival with the long-term need for sustainable growth; and serves as a philosophical beacon that will guide individuals, particularly, business leaders, toward actions in the interest of humanity.

Download or read book Evasive Entrepreneurs and the Future of Governance written by Adam Thierer and published by Cato Institute. This book was released on 2020-04-28 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Innovators of all stripes—such as Airbnb and Uber—are increasingly using new technological capabilities to circumvent traditional regulatory systems, or at least put pressure on public policymakers to reform laws and regulations that are outmoded, inefficient, or illogical. Disruptive innovators are emerging in other fields, too, using technologies as wide‐ranging as 3D printers, drones, driverless cars, Bitcoin and blockchain, virtual reality, the “Internet of Things,” and more. Some of these innovators just love to tinker. Others want to change the world with new life‐enriching products. And many more are just looking to earn a living and support their families. Regardless of why they are doing it, these evasive entrepreneurs— innovators who don’t always conform to social or legal norms—are changing the world and challenging their governments. Beyond boosting economic growth and raising our living standards, evasive entrepreneurialism can play an important role in constraining unaccountable governmental activities that often fail to reflect common sense or the consent of the governed. In essence, evasive entrepreneurialism and technological civil disobedience are new checks and balances that help us rein in the excesses of the state, make government more transparent and accountable, and ensure that our civil rights and economic liberties are respected. Evasive Entrepreneurs and the Future of Governance explores why evasive entrepreneurs are increasingly engaged in different forms of technological civil disobedience and also makes the case that we should accept—and often even embrace—a certain amount of that activity as a way to foster innovation, economic growth, and accountable government.

Download or read book Institutional Reform and Diaspora Entrepreneurs written by Jennifer M. Brinkerhoff and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-08-08 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Externally-promoted institutional reform, even when nominally accepted by developing country governments, often fails to deliver lasting change. Diasporans-immigrants who still feel a connection to their country of origin-may offer an In-Between Advantage for institutional reform, which links problem understanding with potential solutions, and encompasses vision, impact, operational, and psycho-social advantages. Individuals with entrepreneurial characteristics can catalyzing institutional reform. Diasporans may have particular advantages for entrepreneurship, as they live both psychologically and materially between the place of origin they left and the new destination they have embraced. Their entrepreneurial characteristics may be accidental, cultivated through the migration and diaspora experience, or innate to individuals' personalities. This book articulates the diaspora institutional entrepreneur In-Between Advantage, proposes a model for understanding the characteristics and motivational influences of entrepreneurs generally and how they apply to diaspora entrepreneurs in particular, and presents a staged model of institutional entrepreneur actions. I test these frameworks through case narratives of social institutional reform in Egypt, economic institutional reform in Ethiopia, and political institutional reform in Chad. In addition to identifying policy implications, this book makes important theoretical contributions in three areas. First, it builds on existing and emerging critiques of international development assistance that articulate prescriptions related to alternative theories of change. Second, it fills an important gap in the literature by focusing squarely on the role of agency in institutional reform processes while still accounting for organizational systems and socio-political contexts. In doing so, it integrates a more expansive view of entrepreneurism into extant understandings of institutional entrepreneurism, and it sheds light on what happens in the frequently-invoked black box of agency. Third, it demonstrates the fallacy of many theoretical frameworks that seek to order institutional change processes into neatly definable linear stages.

Download or read book Ethnic Entrepreneurs written by Monica DeHart and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2010-02-02 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indigenous groups are not often recognized as driving forces in the push for economic development. However, in development efforts across Latin America, governments and corporations have begun to see ethnic cultural difference as an advantage. Ethnic Entrepreneurs explores how diverse groups historically seen as obstacles to development have become valuable to state and regional development initiatives. From collaboration between a Maya organization and Walmart to a UN-sponsored program that recruits diasporic Latinos, states and corporations are pursuing strategies that complement regional neoliberal shifts. This book examines how ethnic difference is produced through development policy, breaking down the micropolitics of identity and development. It uncovers surprising convergences between ethnic community businesses and corporate social responsibility practices and illuminates how formulations of ethnic difference influence not only changing cultural identifications, but also the political and moral projects that shape Latin America.

Download or read book The Entrepreneur s Survival Handbook written by Derreck Ford and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2020-12-28 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being an entrepreneur is risky. USA Today has written that “only 1 out of 5 new businesses survive past their first year of operation.” Even fewer new businesses make it to five or ten years. Those who want to buck the odds must have persistence, resilience, and creativity to survive. An entrepreneur with over 30 years of experience knows all too well what a challenge it can be to start a business and has created a book to help budding entrepreneurs to not only build their business but to thrive. The Entrepreneur’s Survival Handbook covers challenges entrepreneurs face that are not common knowledge—or even discussed. It includes essential topics such as these: • The wisdom of hiring friends and family • The importance of an employee manual • Overcoming the fear of such a big undertaking • How to read a room • Solutions to potential problems The handbook features 52 pointers for entrepreneurs––one for each week of the year––to study and record results. Entrepreneurs can read them one by one or shuffle them like a deck of cards. This one-of-a-kind resource serves as an excellent complement to traditional business school training, allowing entrepreneurs their best chance to achieve success and build their businesses.
