Entrepreneurship And Development
Entrepreneurship and Economic Development
Entrepreneurship plays an important role in economic development of any country. Both are closely and positively linked together. The idea about this relationship has made its way since early works of Schumpeter (1911). Entrepreneurs with their skills and innovative activities brings growth for their firms and which in turn helps in developing economy for their countries. This makes us to believe that an increase in number of entrepreneurs means an increase in economic development.
In his book Schumpeter has described innovative activities as “the carrying out of new combinations”. Here are the five combinations presented by him (Schumpeter, 1963 (1911), p. 66) -
-
The introduction of a new good – that is one with which consumers are not yet familiar – or of a new quality of a good.
-
The introduction of a new method of production, that is one not yet tested by experience in the branch of manufacture concerned, which need by no means be founded upon a discovery scientifically new, and can also exist in a new way of handling a commodity commercially.
-
The opening of a new market, that is a market into which the particular branch of manufacture of the country in question has not previously entered, whether or not this market has existed before.
-
The conquest of a new source of supply of raw materials or half-manufactured goods, again irrespective of whether this source already exists or whether it has first to be created.
-
The carrying out of the new organization of any industry, like the creation of a monopoly position or the breaking up of a monopoly position.
Through these innovative activities, entrepreneurs creates new profit opportunities. These opportunities can be a result of increase in productivity, in which case, their relationship to economic development is quite clear. Moreover, the atmosphere created by the entrepreneurs helps in building favorable ground for additional innovations and profit opportunities. Therefore, more entrepreneurs means more development, which in turn leads to more entrepreneurs and this process is self-feeding.

Entrepreneurship and Economic Development $116.3 Increasing uncertainty in the world economy has created challenges for regions to pursue development strategies to achieve economic growth. Globalization, increased marketing integration, and the advent of new technologies led to approaches from traditional industrial recruiting to less traditional approaches. Among these latter approaches is the increased importance of entrepreneurship for creating economic growth through establishment of new firms or growth from established firms. This book identifies how entrepreneurial factors and other local characteristics influence growth in population, employment, and per capita income. The study explores the contributions of entrepreneurship to the local economy and develops a map for designing specific development policies for a region such as the Appalachia that is characterized by underdevelopment and poverty. It is a valuable reference for students, researchers, scientists, consultants, policymakers and individuals who are interested in entrepreneurship and economic development.

The Global Entrepreneurship Index (Geindex) $125.78 Three major international research projects that track data on global institutions in most countries do not track the firm formation process and do not correlate with measures of the firm formation process. For example, the selfemployment rate published by the OECD correlates negatively with the Global Competitiveness Index, the Index of Economic Freedom and the Ease of Doing Business. What does this negative relationship mean? Does less economic freedom mean more entrepreneurship? What about the difficulty of starting a business? The Global Entrepreneurship Index (GEINDEX) addresses this paradox in the economic development literature. Building on previous measures of entrepreneurship, the authors define the basic requirements for construction of an entrepreneurship index. The index should be sufficiently complex to capture the multidimensional feature of entrepreneurship. There should be indicators referring to qualityrelated differences. The index should incorporate individual level as well as institutional variables. The Global Entrepreneurship Index contributes to our understanding of economic development by constructing an index (GEINDEX) that examines the essence of the contextual features of entrepreneurship and fills a gap in the measure of development. The authors develop a Global Entrepreneurship Index that offers a measure of the quality and quantity of the business formation process in 65 of the most important countries in the world. The GEINDEX captures the contextual feature of entrepreneurship by focusing on entrepreneurial attitudes, entrepreneurial activity and entrepreneurial aspirations.

Entrepreneurship and New Gazelle Creation $152.95 Despite entrepreneurship practice extending back thousands of years, only recently has research identified a rare breed of entrepreneurial firm, new gazelles, which appear to be economic dynamos of national and regional development. New gazelles start life larger and grow much faster in their early years, than other new firms. Some grow big. Some may become corporate superstars. This study argues it is not just which activities entrepreneurs pursue during firm conception, but how entrepreneurs pursue those activities, that may lead to birth of a new gazelle. Based on indepth interviews during 2002 with ten entrepreneurs, four who created new gazelles and six who did not, this study identified certain activities and how those activities were pursued that appeared key to new gazelle creation. Also examined were the roles entrepreneurs played in pursuit of those activities and what new gazelles looked like as they entered the market. This study offers entrepreneurs, entrepreneurship academics and students, as well as economic policymakers a glimpse into the fascinating, complex world of entrepreneurs, who strive to create a rare but particularly important type of new firm.

A History of Entrepreneurship $79.74 This book establishes a chronological trace of the entrepreneur as treated in economic literature in order to give a more wholesome perspective to contemporary writings and teachings on entrepreneurship. It focuses on the nature and role of the entrepreneur, and of entrepreneurship, as revealed in economic literature as early as the eighteenth century, when Richard Cantillon first coined the term ‘entrepreneur’. The authors then trace how Joseph Schumpeter’s perspective, among other’s, on entrepreneurship came to dominate the world’s understanding of the term.Due to Schumpeter’s dominant influence, entrepreneurship has come to occupy a primary role in the theory of economic development. In this book Hébert and Link discuss various key topics including the German Tradition, the Austrian and the English School of thought as well as individuals such as Alfred Marshall and Jeremy Bentham. The historical survey also illustrates the tension that often exists between “theory” and “practice” and how it has been difficult for economic theory to assimilate a core concept that plays a vital role in social and economic change. Finally, the book exposes the many different facets of entrepreneurship as they have been perceived by some of the great economists throughout the ages. |
