This incisive book uses real-world examples and historical insights to shed light on how inclusive and responsible entrepreneurship can lead to stronger economies and communities.
Combining inclusivity, responsibility, crisis management and other related concepts, authors Susanne Durst, Jacques Yana Mbena and Celine Viala adopt a holistic approach to examining the practical benefits of inclusive and responsible entrepreneurship. The book highlights the crucial role that entrepreneurship plays in developing and implementing sustainable solutions in turbulent times and emphasises that contemporary entrepreneurship is more than just making money, but is about inclusion and equity in all entrepreneurial activities. The authors provide a variety of historical insights and examples to demonstrate the ways in which inclusive and responsible entrepreneurship can be a tool for social justice, economic equality, and societal sustainability. Inclusive and Responsible Entrepreneurship in a Turbulent Era identifies barriers to incorporating inclusive and responsible entrepreneurship and presents practical and effective solutions to address them.
Inclusive and Responsible Entrepreneurship in a Turbulent Era is an essential resource for scholars of entrepreneurship and business, as well as students of sustainable business development, business ethics and other related subjects in the social sciences. Entrepreneurs, policymakers and organisations wishing to support this form of entrepreneurship will also benefit from the book's insights.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
'Periods of crisis pose enormous challenges, but they also create promising opportunities. This book clearly and convincingly explains how inclusive and responsible entrepreneurship - by addressing inequality, diversity and social and environmental sustainability - represents a key opportunity to face and overcome these turbulent times.' -- Francisco Linan, University of Seville, Spain 'This book is a timely and thought-provoking contribution to the field. The authors skillfully highlight the pressing need for more ethically grounded and socially inclusive approaches to entrepreneurship. What sets this book apart is its global perspective and its practical relevance, offering actionable insights for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners alike. In an age where volatility and uncertainty are the norm, this work provides a much-needed compass for navigating entrepreneurship with responsibility and resilience.' -- Sascha Kraus, University of Siegen, Germany
