In documenting the cultural aspects of landscape, the study explores the coherence of diverse expressions of indigenous knowle...

Despite their potential to innovate and add value in the global marketplace, they persistently struggle, or fail, because they lack the requisite code-breaking skills. This book helps these underdog entrepreneurs acquire those skills with actionable ad...
