Asian Models Of Entrepreneurship - From The Indian Union And Nepal To The Japanese Archipelago: Context, Policy And Practice (2nd Edition)
In this book, Leo-Paul Dana makes it clear that much can be learnt about the nature of entrepreneurial activity when we delve into the unique characteristics of different nations of South Asia, South-east Asia and East Asia. Through in-depth analyses and comprehensive reviews of many Asian countries, the profound differences both among and within countries of the region become vividly apparent. Dana juxtaposes the explosion in entrepreneurial growth within China against the struggles to build an entrepreneurial community in Japan, or the enlightened public policy leadership in Singapore against the crisis-driven developments in Korea. The range of factors identified within each of the 15 countries examined by Dana is not an example of random influences on the entrepreneurial process, because they can be construed in more systematic and logical ways. Thus, the book uncovers the Chinese model of gradual transition, the Royal Cambodian model, and the Doi-Moi model, among many others. The reader is challenged to grasp these different models, and identify their commonalities and differences.

Women's Social Entrepreneurship
Women’s social entrepreneurship has been proved to alleviate poverty and in parallel to promote gender equality. This book introduces a useful analysis of the field, investigating the emerging phenomenon of women’s social entrepreneurship from both a conceptual and empirical perspective. The book is based on the premise that how gender is articulated within the entrepreneurial debate has to acknowledge context. Seven case studies are presented and, through them, the importance of women’s social entrepreneurship for job creation is revealed. A complemented layout of activities is also provided to reinforce the business spirit of women’s social entrepreneurship. Finally, the book provides suggestions and educational programmatical alterations for policy makers, which are needed to be invoked for the endorsement of women’s social entrepreneurship. This book will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students who study social entrepreneurship, to social entrepreneurship scholars and to the international academic library market in particular.
Non-market Strategies in International Business
The Academy of International Business (UK and Ireland Chapter) Published in association with the UK and Ireland Chapter of the Academy of International Business. This book provides theoretical and empirical insights into non-market political and social strategies that firms use when conducting international business. Political strategies include activities such as lobbying, campaign contributions, and using political ties and connections as a means of influencing policy making. Likewise, firms also engage in various social responsibility activities to maintain a good image in society and to improve their legitimacy and reputation when operating globally. Multinational enterprises (MNEs) face various challenges in implementing non-market strategies due to institutional differences between their home and host contexts. Presenting fresh perspectives from a cast of international contributors, this book offers academics, students, and practitioners a greater understanding of how non-market strategies can be effective in international business.
Understanding Contexts Of Business In Western Asia: Land Of Bazaars And High-tech Booms
Not one size fits all. Yet, some books teach business with minimal focus on the context for business. In reality, firms — large and small — are highly affected by the context in which they operate; yet, context is not uniformly conceptualized, theorized, and operationalized by scholars of business and management. While most theories have come from developed countries with bountiful contexts, the diverse contexts of Western Asia are little understood. Religious factors are profoundly dominant in Western Asia, and businesses in this diverse area operate with considerations that are rarely considered in research. This book reveals a variety of schools of thought that have molded several business models and mechanisms, which are, to some extent, different from the context of Western economies.

Professor Dana and his colleagues have carefully and successfully put together a collection of chapters on ethnic minority entrepreneurship from all parts of the world. The book comprises eight parts and 49 chapters. Undoubtedly, given the massive size and content of a 835-page book, it is fair to ask, is it value for money? The answer is unequivocally yes!
