Routledge Handbook of Entrepreneurship in Developing Economies by Colin C. Williams,Anjula Gurtoo Pdf
The Routledge Handbook of Entrepreneurship in Developing Economies is a landmark volume that offers a uniquely comprehensive overview of entrepreneurship in developing countries. Addressing the multi-faceted nature of entrepreneurship, chapters explore a vast range of subject areas including education, economic policy, gender and the prevalence and nature of informal sector entrepreneurship. In order to understand the process of new venture creation in developing economies, what it means to be engaged in entrepreneurship in a developing world context must be addressed. This handbook does so by exploring the difficulties, risks and rewards associated with being an entrepreneur, and evaluates the impacts of the environment, relationships, performance and policy dynamics on small and entrepreneurial firms in developing economies. The handbook brings together a unique collection of over forty international researchers who are all actively engaged in studying entrepreneurship in a developing world context. The chapters offer concise but detailed perspectives and explanations on key aspects of the subject across a diverse array of developing economies, spanning Africa, Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe. In doing so, the chapters highlight the heterogeneity of entrepreneurship in developed economies, and contribute to the on-going policy discourses for managing and promoting entrepreneurial growth in the developing world. The book will be of great interest to scholars, students and policymakers in the areas of development economics, business and management, public policy and development studies.
A Harvard Business School professor and international entrepreneur explains the crucial ingredient for success in the developing world. Entrepreneurial ventures often fail in the developing world because of the lack of something taken for granted in the developed world: trust. Over centuries the developed world has built up customs and institutions like enforceable contracts, an impartial legal system, credible regulatory bodies, even unofficial but respected sources of information like Yelp or Consumer Reports that have created a high level of what scholar and entrepreneur Tarun Khanna calls “ambient trust.” If a product is FDA-approved we feel confident it’s safe. If someone makes an untrue claim or breaks an agreement we can sue. Police don’t demand bribes to do their jobs. Certainly there are exceptions, but when brought to light they provoke a scandal, not a shrug. This is not the case in the developing world. But rather than become casualties of mistrust, Khanna shows that smart entrepreneurs adopt the mindset that, like it or not, it’s up to them to weave their own independent web of trust—with their employees, partners, clients, and customers—and with society as a whole. This can requires innovative approaches in places where the level of societal mistrust is so high that, as in one example Khanna provides, an official certification of quality simply arouses suspicion—and lowers sales! Using vivid examples from Brazil, China, India, Mexico and elsewhere, Khanna shows how entrepreneurs can build on existing customs and practices instead of trying to push against them. He highlights the role new technologies can play (but cautions that these are not panaceas), and explains how entrepreneurs can find dependable partners in national and local governments to create impact at scale

Comparative Case Studies on Entrepreneurship in Developed and Developing Countries by Ofori-Dankwa, Joseph Pdf
Lauded as a driver of economic growth, entrepreneurship and small business ventures have become increasingly attractive to countries looking to boost employment rates, productivity, and innovation.

Entrepreneurship in developing countries by Martin Fenkl Pdf
Master's Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1.7, University of Paderborn, language: English, abstract: This thesis aims to investigate whether entrepreneurship is an adequate tool for developing countries to propel economic growth and bring forth economic development. The theory of economic growth and development demonstrates that productive entrepreneurship is important to increase productivity and foster structural economic transformation if a sufficient institutional framework is in place. Empirical evidence examining the effect of entrepreneurship on economic growth and development is difficult to establish and yields ambiguous results. It is revealed that developing countries fail to generate growth and development from their high rates of entrepreneurial activity. Only employment creating “high-growth entrepreneurship” is identified to positively influence economic growth. It is shown that enhancements of institutions and well-targeted policies could help developing countries to generate more growth-oriented entrepreneurship.

Entrepreneurship in Developing Countries by Yonggui Wang and Jun Li Pdf
We specified in our launching issue that the aim of the journal is to 'give a broad international coverage of subjects relating to entrepreneurship in China'. We have also come to realize that Chinese entrepreneurship would be better appreciated if it were to be explained and explored from an international lens. It is for this reason that this special issue of the journal is dedicated to the topic of entrepreneurship in developing countries. This is to acknowledge that entrepreneurship is the engine fueling innovation, job creation and economic growth in China and other developing economies alike. Yet, leverage of entrepreneurial opportunities across a wide range of developing countries varies significantly. A lot is still to be learned about the contexts, behaviours and processes of entrepreneurship so that the theoretical underpinnings of entrepreneurship can be strengthened, that experiences and good practices can be exchanged, and that ultimately an environment where entrepreneurship can prosper can be created. Thus, in this special issue the main aim is to present, explore and reflect on the experiences of entrepreneurship in developing countries. Across the seven research articles and one article of 'industry insight' in this special issue we: Examine the problems of starting up a new business encountered by entrepreneurs in general and disadvantaged groups in particular; Investigate the processes in which entrepreneurs manage new venture development and growth; Explore various aspects of entrepreneurship policies that are being initiated to improve the entrepreneurship environment.
