About this book

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 scholarson impacting the developing world.


Reviews

Entrepreneurship is the bedrock of society and economics. Linking entrepreneurship to business needs passion, creativity, and resilience, however, these elements are always challenging. This book encapsulates the discussion on divergent challenges and needed managerial vigor to drive the enterprises competitive… A valuable contribution…

Tanya Zlateva, PhD, Dean, Metropolitan College, Boston University, Boston, USA 

Entrepreneurship is a creative facet of the business by challenging the odds and probably pursuing a good idea. This book explicitly bridges the gaps between the entrepreneurial challenges, management, and outcomes. This is a book at the grassroots of business linked entrepreneurship… A good read for all.
