Download or read book Global Perspectives on Military Entrepreneurship and Innovation written by Ojo, Sanya and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2021-02-19 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like other organizations across the world, military establishments apply the concept of entrepreneurship to day-to-day activities. However, literature on the topic runs thin, creating a gap in the research on this area of military involvement in entrepreneurship. These studies focus heavily on three topics: ex-military officers in entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial-minded individuals still in the military, and military spouses as successful entrepreneurs. It is essential that researchers interrogate these three areas across different locational contexts for a clear representation and understanding of the many forms of military entrepreneurship. This research focuses on outcomes, the entrepreneurial process, economic activities, and ontological directions. Military entrepreneurship is cross-cultural; spans varied locations; and is linked to retired, retiring, serving military personnel, and military spouses. Global Perspectives on Military Entrepreneurship and Innovation builds on existing theoretical and empirical studies in the areas of entrepreneurship and military business and enterprise to interrogate the concepts of military entrepreneurship, veteran entrepreneurship, military spouse entrepreneurship (or military women entrepreneurship), and retirees’ entrepreneurship. The book is a collection of studies on military entrepreneurship, treating the subject with emphasis on metacognition, and interrogates differences in metacognitive processing across cultures and values relating to military entrepreneurship. The chapters cover various concepts in military entrepreneurship and promote entrepreneurship research within the military ecosystem. This book is ideal for military personnel, entrepreneurs, managers, practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students interested in the concept of military entrepreneurship and innovation narratives.

Download or read book War Entrepreneurs and the State in Europe and the Mediterranean 1300 1800 written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In War, Entrepreneurs, and the State, Jeff Fynn-Paul (Leiden) assembles an internationally acclaimed selection of authors to push forward the debate on the role of entrepreneurs in making war and building states in Europe and the Ottoman Empire. Topics covered include logistics, supply, recruitment, and the finance of war. Chapters have been carefully commissioned with an eye towards complementarity. In an introduction co-written with Marjolein ‘t Hart and Griet Vermeesch, Fynn-Paul challenges existing discourses of military entrepreneurialism. A new benchmark is proposed: did states choose to work with entrepreneurs, or to restrict their activities and subvert the market? From the introduction and the individual chapters, a new more expansive vision of the military entrepreneur emerges. Contributors are: Carlos Álvarez-Nogal, Pepijn Brandon, William Caferro, Stephen Conway, Thomas Goossens, Aaron Graham, Rhoads Murphey, David Parrott, Helen Paul, Guy Rowlands, Kahraman Şakul, Marjolein 't Hart, Andrea Thiele, and Rafael Torres Sánchez.
Download or read book Military Entrepreneurs and the Spanish Contractor State in the Eighteenth Century written by Rafael Torres Sánchez and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-07-01 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Military Entrepreneurs and the Spanish Contractor State in the Eighteenth Century offers a new approach to the relationship between warfare and state construction. Historians looking at how war funding impinged on state development, and how state growth made wars more significant, have tended to downplay the role of military-provisioning entrepreneurs. Written off as corrupt and selfish, these entrepreneurs jarred with the received view of a rationally growing and modernising state. This volume shows that the state-entrepreneur relationship was much more fluid and constant than previously thought. The state was not able to enforce a top-down military supply policy; at the same time it benefited from the entrepreneurs' collaboration and their shared mercantilist ambitions. The entrepreneurs' mobilisation of military supplies was crucial for extending state authority and helped to knit together national and colonial markets. But this fluid state-entrepreneur relationship gradually became shrouded in privileges and monopolies, not so much ideology driven or imposed by the entrepreneurs but rather as an arrangement exploited by the state to boost its control over them, whittling down middlemen and ensuring the solvency and creditworthiness of the chosen few. This arrangement spiralled into a risky inter-dependence and cramped entrepreneurial competition. Rafael Torres Sánchez furnishes new insights into the role of military entrepreneurs in debates about warfare and state construction.
Download or read book The Rise of the Military Entrepreneur written by Suzanne Sutherland and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2022-09-15 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rise of the Military Entrepreneur explores how a new kind of international military figure emerged from, and exploited, the seventeenth century's momentous political, military, commercial, and scientific changes. In the era of the Thirty Years' War, these figures traveled rapidly and frequently across Europe using private wealth, credit, and connections to raise and command the armies that rulers desperately needed. Their careers reveal the roles international networks, private resources, and expertise played in building and at times undermining the state. Suzanne Sutherland uncovers the influence of military entrepreneurs by examining their activities as not only commanders but also diplomats, natural philosophers, information brokers, clients, and subjects on the battlefield, as well as through strategic marital and family allegiances. Sutherland focuses on Raimondo Montecuccoli (1609–80), a middling nobleman from the Duchy of Modena, who became one of the most powerful men in the Austrian Habsburg monarchy and helped found a new discipline, military science. The Rise of the Military Entrepreneur explains how Montecuccoli successfully met battlefield, court, and family responsibilities while contributing to the world of scholarship on an often violent, fragmented political-military landscape. As a result, Sutherland shifts the perspective on war away from the ruler and his court to instead examine the figures supplying force, along with their methods, networks, and reflections on those experiences.

Download or read book What Factors Make Military Veterans Likely to Become Entrepreneurs written by Parker McCumber and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Military veterans own nearly 10% of businesses in the United States and are substantially more likely to become entrepreneurs and start their own businesses than their civilian counterparts who lack military experience. The purpose of this study was to explore what traits, factors, and training may have impacted the likelihood and probability of a veteran service-member becoming an entrepreneur and making the decision to start their own business or become self-employed. Through this research a theme of five skills and character traits emerged; communication, flexibility, leadership, problem solving, and risk management. These traits and skills are inherent in some individuals but can be developed through training and working experience. Military veterans gain an advantage over civilian peers and counterparts due to the emphasis on training and professional development around those five key areas while involved in military service. The skills of communication, flexibility, leadership, problem solving, and risk management greatly impact one's ability to operate a business and successfully navigate business practices while enhancing the comfortability of an individual in taking on an entrepreneurial role.

Book excerpt: DID YOU KNOW MILITARY VETERANS MAKE SOME OF THE BEST ENTREPRENEURS IN THE WORLD?Military Veterans make great entrepreneurs. The core values they learned while in the military help create one of the smartest, hardest working, and resilient workforces on the planet. Those same values also create some of the best entrepreneurs in the world.Integrity, courage, and commitment are just some of the values the military teaches you.

The path to entrepreneurship is very similar to that in the military. We just need to learn to use them for doing something a little different than what we did in the military.This book is about my experience over the past 5+ years of which has shaped my perception of success, failure, and everything in between. If what I've written can be helpful to you, I've done my job. Success isn't easy. Entrepreneurship isn't easy but for those who seek out the green light to jump, this book is for you.
