Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Entrepreneurship has gained interest in previous few decades and it is considered as an important factor in economic growth of the country (Wong, Ho & Autio, 2005). Prevalent economic, social and political conditions have increased necessity of flourishing entrepreneurial culture (Amin and Tomaney, 1991; Thomas, 2000). The government has been taking many initiatives for this purpose, including most recent youth loan scheme (Abbasi, 2014). However, success ratio of such schemes remained low (Mian, 2014). One major reason of failure of these initiatives was lack of skills as identified by informal conversations. This lead to identify set of skills that can be useful in launching business successfully at very initial stages. Establishing a set of skills will not only help in establishing a criterion for considering young entrants for youth schemes who possess a certain level of these skills. Establishment of set of skills will also help to provide evaluation criteria for students graduating from business schools thus helping to find level of skills in them and to work in areas that need improvement. This will ultimately help curriculum developers to integrate these skills in curriculum. The policy makers will be able to use this set of skills as criteria for pre-policy measure while working on flourishing entrepreneurial niche.The entrepreneurial skills are affected by many factors, including environment, geography, social and cultural values (Blume & Covin, 2011) education and training. Other example include a study carried out by Ahmad (2007) on cross cultural study on entrepreneurial competencies among Australian and Malaysian businessmen, reports that entrepreneurial competencies are context-specific and change with the changing business environment and cultural orientation. Similar results have been reported by Phillips (2008), Chaston (2009) Ahmad, Ramayah, Wilson, and Kummerow (2010). More studies has been carried out to identify effect of culture on entrepreneurial skills examples include work presented by Busenitz, Gómez, & Spencer, 2000; Lee & Peterson, (2000), Mueller & Thomas, (2001) and Noorderhaven, et al (2004). This lead to rationale of the study emphasizing to identify set of entrepreneurial skills that is more appropriate in local settings.

This book was released on 2023-05-01 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are ongoing debates on the concepts surrounding the roles of Indigenous people in transforming the entrepreneurial landscape to promote socio-economic development. Arguably, the culture and ways of our lives, in the context of entrepreneurship, have a role in influencing social economic development. The ideals between the entrepreneurial practice of Indigenous people and their culture are somewhat commensal towards sustainable growth and development. The practice of Indigenous and cultural entrepreneurship is embedded in historical findings. Context, Policy, and Practices in Indigenous and Cultural Entrepreneurship provides insights into the policy, culture, and practice that influence the impact of local and Indigenous entrepreneurs within communities which transcends to socio-economic development. This is critical as the knowledge gained from our entrepreneurial diversity can provide a platform to reduce social ills as a result of unemployment and give a sense of belonging within the social context. Covering key topics such as government policy, entrepreneurial education, information technology, and trade, this premier reference source is ideal for policymakers, entrepreneurs, business owners, managers, scholars, researchers, academicians, instructors, and students.

Book excerpt: There is intensified interest in designing information and communication technologies (ICTs) that respond to ways of doing, knowing, and saying that differ from those that dominate in producing ICTs and, in particular, to ‘traditional’ or ‘indigenous’ knowledges. ICT endeavours for indigenous or traditional knowledges (ITK) vary. Some aim to extend ITK digitally and others use ICTs to improve the economic and/or political situation of marginalised groups. This book presents themes that arise in designing to respond to ITK in different cultural, social, physical, and historical contexts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indigenous peoples are an intrinsic part of countries like Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Finland, USA, India, Russia and almost all parts of South America and Africa. A considerable amount of research has been done during the twentieth century mainly by anthropologists, sociologists and linguists in order to describe, and document their traditional life style for the protection and safeguarding of their established knowledge, skills, languages and beliefs. These communities are engaging and adapting rapidly to the changing circumstances partly caused by post modernisation and the process of globalization. These have led them to aspire to better living standards, as well as preserving their uniqueness, approaches to environment, close proximity to social structures and communities. For at least the last two decades, patterns of increased economic activity by indigenous peoples in many countries have been viewed to be significantly on the rise. Indigenous People and Economic Development reveals some of the characteristics of this economic activity, 'coloured' by the unique regard and philosophy of life that indigenous people around the world have. The successes, difficulties and obstacles to economic development, their solutions and innovative practices in business - all of these elements, based on research findings, are discussed in this book and offer an inside view of the dynamics of the indigenous societies which are evolving in a globalised and highly interconnected contemporary world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trade between China and Africa is increasing year on year, while the West increasingly debates the nature and implications of China’s presence. Yet little research exists at the organizational and community levels. While western press reporting is overwhelmingly negative, African governments mostly welcome the Chinese presence. But what happens at the management level? How are Chinese organizations run? What are they bringing to communities? What is their impact on the local job market? How do they manage staff? How are they working with local firms? This book seeks to provide a theoretical framework for understanding Chinese organizations and management in Africa and to explore how their interventions are playing out at the organizational and community levels in sub-Saharan Africa. Based on rigorous empirical research exploring emerging themes in specific African countries, this book develops implications for management knowledge, education and training provision, and policy formulation. Importantly it seeks to inform future scholarship on China’s management impact in the world generally, on Africa’s future development, and on international and cross-cultural management scholarship. Primarily aimed at scholars of international management, with an interest in China and/or in China in Africa, this important book will also be of great interest to those working in the area of development studies, international politics, and international relations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to provide new approaches to analysing and thinking about how entrepreneurial ecosystems develop and evolve over time as well as shed light on the relatively unexplored area of entrepreneurship ecosystem dynamics. The concept of entrepreneurial ecosystems has emerged as a framework to understand the nature of places in which entrepreneurial activity flourishes. Time is fundamental to the analysis of the dynamics of an entrepreneurial ecosystem. New firm creation, survival, growth and demise all occur within a temporal context that is, over and within time. Systems approaches to research invariably model the influential effects of the actors and elements that shape, re-shape, maintain, shift and change the system itself. An entrepreneurial ecosystem point of view, therefore, is inherently time-dependent and provides an analytical framework that reveals how the number and diversity of entrepreneurial actors situated in a place and time influence the creation of new firms, their survival, growth, and ultimately the stability of markets and industry in a time and place. Whether for better or worse, the historic and present time dimensions underpin the functioning and trajectory of entrepreneurial ecosystem performances and how they are shaped over time. Each chapter in this edited volume outlines a particular perspective and/or a unique case drawn from a range of countries that collectively reveal the dynamics of an ever-changing entrepreneurial ecosystem. The chapters were originally published as a special issue of the journal, Entrepreneurship and Regional Development.

Book excerpt: "Indigenous wellbeing is premised on sustainable self-determination that is in turn dependent on a community's evolving model for economic development, its cultural traditions, relationship to its traditional territories and its particular spiritual practices to enable the transmission of these traditions and practices to future generations. In this context, Indigenous leaders have consistently and repeatedly declared their desire to participate in regional, national and international economic development opportunities, capitalize on the abundance of resources on their traditional lands and that facilitate sustainable environmental, social, cultural and economic value creation activities that benefit their communities. They believe through asserting sovereignty of their lands and resources and acting on their inherent rights of Indigenous peoples will enable them to develop foster sustainable development activities that honour their distinct cultures, values and practices. This book, written by the leading scholars in the field, focuses specifically on examples and models for sustainable enterprise that address key issues related to economic, environmental, social and cultural value creation activities. It includes numerous examples of Indigenous communities which have successfully used entrepreneurship in the pursuit of sustainable development and wellbeing. Each chapter features practical examples and case studies that illustrate the key findings"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indigenous Invisibility in the City contextualises the significant social change in Indigenous life circumstances and resurgence that came out of social movements in cities. It is about Indigenous resurgence and community development by First Nations people for First Nations people in cities. Seventy-five years ago, First Nations peoples began a significant post-war period of relocation to cities in the United States, Canada, Australia, and Aotearoa New Zealand. First Nations peoples engaged in projects of resurgence and community development in the cities of the four settler states. First Nations peoples, who were motivated by aspirations for autonomy and empowerment, went on to create the foundations of Indigenous social infrastructure. This book explains the ways First Nations people in cities created and took control of their own futures. A fact largely wilfully ignored in policy contexts. Today, differences exist over the way governments and First Nations peoples see the role and responsibilities of Indigenous institutions in cities. What remains hidden in plain sight is their societal function as a social and political apparatus through which much of the social processes of Indigenous resurgence and community development in cities occurred. The struggle for self-determination in settler cities plays out through First Nations people’s efforts to sustain their own institutions and resurgence, but also rights and recognition in cities. This book will be of interest to Indigenous studies scholars, urban sociologists, urban political scientists, urban studies scholars, and development studies scholars interested in urban issues and community building and development.

In an attempt to highlight some of the socio-anthropological aspects of plant medicines, the book takes a brief look at the ecological link between nature and phytomedicines, and concludes with a discussion of the critical factors for effective promotion and sustainability of African Traditional Medicine.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sami have lived for time immemorial in an area that today extends across the Kola Peninsula in Russia, northern Finland, northern Norway's coast and inland, and the northern half of Sweden. The Sami play an important role in these northern economies thanks to their use of land, their involvement in reindeer husbandry, agriculture/farming and food production, and connection with the region's tourism industry. However, in Sweden, as in the other states where the Sami live, the connections with regional development are often inconsistent and weak, and could do more to support the preservation and promotion of Sami culture and create new employment and business opportunities. This study, together with the OECD's broader thematic work on this topic, provides actionable recommendations on how to better include the Sami and other Indigenous Peoples in regional development strategies, learning from and incorporating their own perspectives on sustainable development in the process.
