Rebuilding Entrepreneurship at the Grassroots : Converging Divergent Factors of Society and Economy

This book analyzes the impact of entrepreneurship, technology, and innovation on meeting chronic and recurring social challenges, such as poverty, gender inequality, sustainability and climate change, income disparity, social healthcare, community housing and homelessness, and the drive to cleaner food and water supplies. It discusses inclusive entrepreneurial strategies to meet the above social challenges through transformational leadership in the developing economies. With case studies from Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America, the chapters highlight the success and failure of entrepreneurship in resolving the social challenges, arguing that effective convergence of strategies related to technology, innovation, and poverty alleviation influences entrepreneurial performance. Connecting different theoretical underpinnings and providing a number of frameworks, conceptual models, and cases, this work advances the conversation among entrepreneurship scholars on impacting the developing world.
