Download or read book The Role of Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Economic Growth written by Michael J Andrews and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2022-03-17 with total page 633 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Innovation and entrepreneurship are ubiquitous today, both as fields of study and as starting points for conversations among experts in government and economic development. But while these areas on continue to attract public and private investments, many measurements of their resulting economic growth-including productivity growth and business dynamism-have remained modest. Why this difference? Because not all business sectors are the same, and the transformative gains of some industries have been offset by stagnation or contraction in others. Accordingly, a nuanced understanding of the economy requires a nuanced understanding of where innovation and entrepreneurship occur and where they matter. Answering these questions allows for strategic public investment and the infrastructure for economic growth.The Role of Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Economic Growth, the latest entry in the NBER conference series, seeks to codify these answers. The editors leverage industry studies to identify specific examples of productivity improvements enabled by innovation and entrepreneurship, including those from new production technologies, increased competition, new organizational forms, and other means. Taken together, the volume illuminates whether the contribution of innovation and entrepreneurship to economic growth is likely to be concentrated, be it selected sectors or more broadly"--
Download or read book Arms and Innovation written by James Hasik and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2008-09-15 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With many of the most important new military systems of the past decade produced by small firms that won competitive government contracts, defense-industry consultant James Hasik argues in Arms and Innovation that small firms have a number of advantages relative to their bigger competitors. Such firms are marked by an entrepreneurial spirit and fewer bureaucratic obstacles, and thus can both be more responsive to changes in the environment and more strategic in their planning. This is demonstrated, Hasik shows, by such innovation in military technologies as those that protect troops from roadside bombs in Iraq and the Predator drones that fly over active war zones and that are crucial to our new war on terror. For all their advantages, small firms also face significant challenges in access to capital and customers. To overcome such problems, they can form alliances either with each other or with larger companies. Hasik traces the trade-offs of such alliances and provides crucial insight into their promises and pitfalls. This ground-breaking study is a significant contribution to understanding both entrepreneurship and alliances, two crucial factors in business generally. It will be of interest to readers in the defense sector as well as the wider business community.

Download or read book Entrepreneurship Professionalism Leadership written by Moon‐Ho Ringo Ho and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-06-11 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book updates the theory and brings together empirical research based on the multidimensional entrepreneurship–professionalism–leadership (EPL) framework for subjective career ‘space’. It also discusses the extension of the original ‘person-centred’ framework to other levels of analysis, for example, ways of considering the EPL (human capital) capacities of an organisation, city, or even nation. By providing insights into the development of EPL motivations and efficacies over time, the book helps readers appreciate the application of the EPL framework in a wider range of contexts, such as research–innovation–enterprise, healthcare, and pre‐university settings. It also shows how EPL research contributes to a better understanding of leadership and entrepreneurial development.

Download or read book They Will Be Giants 21st Century Entrepreneurs and the Purpose Driven Business Ecosystem written by Robert Kim Wilson and published by Trillatian Media. This book was released on 2016-04-16 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most contemporary books on business ecosystems, especially those originating from the Mecca of entrepreneurship, Silicon Valley - are focused on what might be called a "top-down" approach. These books address how other geographic regions can try to build the next Silicon Valley in their part of the planet. Giants takes a very different tactic, one that we call a "bottom-up" approach. Giants is written specifically for the individual entrepreneur who is seeking to increase her/his probability to succeed in their start-up or early stage business idea, thru an innovative new methodology called Purpose-Driven Business Ecosystems. The 21st Century marketplace has already taught us that Business Ecosystems are becoming the "new organizational design model." The open market is increasingly rejecting large enterprise products and services in favor of giving preference to "collectives" and special interest groups consisting of individual businesses that have chosen to join into organized, well-planned groups. The basic idea is that the productive output of these well focused networks - is a result of the combined actions of all the businesses working cooperatively and productively together. In today's contemporary parlance, we refer to this collective, result-generating aggregate as a "business ecosystem." For entrepreneurs, the functioning of their business ecosystem can literally make or break their individual business success. In this light, our book contains specific methods, tools, and other compelling information to support the 21st Century entrepreneur. Some of the most popular questions from Entrepreneurs are answered in Giants: How can "entrepreneurs" substantially improve their chances for success, using assets they already possess? How can "entrepreneurs" avoid giving up equity for funding in early-stage startups? How can "entrepreneurs" avoid the six classic challenges of early-stage startups? How can "entrepreneurs" lower their risk of failure, including reducing go-to-market cost? Why is an "outstanding network" not enough? How can "my customer," actually perform like my business partner? How do I start in developing a purpose-driven business ecosystem? The end game of Giants is to enable and empower the reader to create and maintain strategic relationships with other businesses, groups or individuals who offer specific, tangible value for her/his own team. But more importantly, this ecosystem-derived value should largely be realized within the context of the purpose of your own business. Thus your business ecosystem becomes highly focused, and purpose-driven.
