ISBN: 1567204856 ISBN-13: 9781567204858 Publisher: Praeger OUR PRICE: $94.05 Product Type: Hardcover Published: January 2007 Annotation: The development of an enterprising culture is a primary objective of progressive nations and organizations. Entrepreneurial activity creates business diversity, reduces reliance on a single industry or natural resource, and creates the capabilities to respond quickly to threats and opportunities. Entrepreneurs and the small and medium-sized businesses they build, represent as much as seventy percent of the economic base of industrialized countries, and even more in the developing world. While entrepreneurship may occur as a natural result of personal drive, it occurs most often, most robustly, and is most sustainable in environments designed to encourage it. This book showcases emerging research, theory, and practice in the management of creativity, invention, innovation, and entrepreneurship. Featuring cases and examples from around the world and from a diverse array of industries, the authors explore such issues as organizational design, knowledge management, and technology transfer, providing valuable insights for researchers, educators, students, technology professionals, business executives, scientists, and policymakers concerned with promoting entrepreneurship and its impact on organizational and economic growth. |
