Summary

The predominant understanding of enterprise and entrepreneurship (E & E) has emerged from the perspective of industrialised and economically developed countries, largely ignoring emerging and developing economies (EDEs). Further, business and management students are considered ideal for innovating business ideas unlike students of law, physics or literature. Therefore, the benefits of E & E education fail to impact a vast majority of students from EDEs. This book breaks away from these two trends, presenting alternative pathways to students for 'practicing' (as opposed to 'just learning' about) E & E. The book uses non-technical language and introduces over 50 illustrative cases on enterprise and entrepreneurship from EDEs, aiding students to gain insights into the pre-start-up, start-up and growth phases of the entrepreneurial process.
