Entrepreneurship in the Global Economy
$55.00
USDEntrepreneurs have long been drivers of innovation in developed countries. They start companies and create new industries that keep economies strong and prosperous. Today, however, in developing nations such as China, state-controlled economies are building robust industries at stunning speed and siphoning off jobs from the West. How can entrepreneurs function in the face of this challenge? Can they continue to create economic value in a globalized business environment? This book addresses the crucial issue of state planning vs. free enterprise and examines specific problems surrounding entrepreneurship in the global economy through nine case histories of entrepreneurial companies. It also looks at how and why government gets involved in economic growth and how entrepreneurs contribute to economic value. Based on this analysis, the authors argue that companies can succeed, even in controlled economies, by understanding the customs and policies of countries where they do business.
- Provides a balanced and realistic view of the mechanisms for building an economy and fostering prosperity
- Gives governments and private analysts some basis for understanding the limits of forecasting
- Includes real-world case studies of nine entrepreneurial companies
Reviews & endorsements
"To succeed, today's ambitious start-ups—whether they are high-tech enterprises or low-tech service companies—must be global from inception. Entrepreneurs need access to deeper pockets than ever. But they also need to know how to maneuver through government mazes in state-dominated economies like China's. It is a winner-take-all world. The authors of Entrepreneurship in the Global Economy try to identify what makes a winner." - David P. Goldman, The Wall Street Journal
