The published book chapters and related research were shared
at the International Conference for Business and Management Dynamics (ICBMD),
which strives to stimulate research at the crossroads of business management
and economic development. Like many ICBMD conferences, this book brings
together several scholars and researchers to address the evolving landscape of
economic development and entrepreneurship.
The entrepreneurial scholarship of this book seeks to
explain the equity of position and value afforded to entrepreneurship in the
development theory of contemporary societies. More specifically, it seeks to
tackle the fundamental societal issues of structural disequilibrium, continuing
unemployment, technological unemployment, and ultimately, the sustainable
development of society as a whole. The entrepreneurship scholarship of this
book is situated at the nexus of a firm, market, and socio-economic activities.
Within the socio-economic activities, the book examines entrepreneurial
activities within the systemic constraints of the culture, innovation, and
public policy of the socio-economic systems. Most importantly, this book is the
ICBMD's theory and practice integration to the global and regional development
phenomenon.
We now have a wide variety of contributions from Africa and
the Global South for this edition. This preference is noted in the ICBMD’s
scholarship geographies. Peripheral regions in terms of the academic publishing
of the sub-disciplines of economics are crucial for the inclusive growth,
industrialisation and sustainable development scholarship streams. The
contributions focus on: entrepreneurial ecosystems, small and medium enterprise
(SME) development, innovation-driven growth, digital entrepreneurship, youth
and women entrepreneurship, and the inputs of various development actors and
institutions.
The book incorporates, for example, various empirical,
analytical and constructive frameworks and pluralism of methodologies. The
conference recognised that intricate development challenges are best addressed
through the application of multiple methodologies and diversified perspectives.
Such an approach broadens the development of the book and ensures it reaches a
varied audience, from the academic world, policymakers and development actors
to postgraduate students.
This volume, as an ICBMD-bound publication, aims to document
current research, but also foster an ongoing dialogue regarding the possible
role of entrepreneurship as a transformative vehicle for economic development.
We hope that the insights provided will inspire research in new directions,
advocacy for the development of evidence-based policies, and for
entrepreneurial activities that are inclusive, resilient, and adaptive to the
prevailing contexts of uncertainty.
