Women Entrepreneurs In The Middle East - Context, Ecosystems, And Future Perspectives For The Region

~~105,64€~~ 95,08€ 10% OFF

 Straddling North Africa and Western Asia, the Middle East has been a cradle of civilisation and entrepreneurship — well before the arrival of Islam. In this region, gender roles were traditionally specified by culture, with women often expected to stay within the family environment, while men would trade in society at large. This book contributes to the literature on a highly neglected field of study: women entrepreneurs in the Middle East. Recognising that entrepreneurship does not take place in a vacuum, it focuses on contexts, and the ecosystems of this region with largely patriarchal societies, that are influenced by culture, religion, and colonial experience.This book provides readers with a topical analysis of women entrepreneurs in the Middle East on the context, ecosystems, and future perspectives for the region. Authors have presented the reality of 11 countries from the region based on women entrepreneurs' historical backgrounds, challenges, and achievements, as well as the contribution towards economic development in their local/immediate communities and the Middle East at large. Following the country analysis by the authors of each chapter, the editors provide a general assessment of the future of women entrepreneurs in the region by focusing on the current entrepreneurship policy and strategies of various countries in the region. This volume will be an essential reading for anyone researching or working on projects related to women's entrepreneurship and small businesses in the Middle East.Contents: <ul><li>Introduction to the Middle East (Dina Modestus Nziku, Léo-Paul Dana, and Aidin Salamzadeh)</li><li>Entrepreneurship Ecosystems in the Middle East (Helene Balslev Clausen and Léo-Paul Dana)</li><li>Women Entrepreneurs in the Middle East (Dina Modestus Nziku, Fiorina Mugione, and Aidin Salamzadeh)</li><li>Women Entrepreneurs in Bahrain (Aidin Salamzadeh and Léo-Paul Dana)</li><li>Women Entrepreneurs in Egypt (Ekaterina Vorobeva)</li><li>Women Entrepreneurs in Iran (Aidin Salamzadeh and Léo-Paul Dana)</li><li>Women Entrepreneurs in Israel (Osnat Akirav, Léo-Paul Dana, A Allan Degen, Bella L Galperin, and Meron Medzini)</li><li>Women Entrepreneurs in Jordan (Haya Al-Dajani)</li><li>Women Entrepreneurs in Lebanon (Sally Shamieh and Roula Gergess)</li><li>Women Entrepreneurs in Oman (Mohammad Rezaur Razzak and Suaad Jassem)</li><li>Women Entrepreneurs in Palestine (Doaa Althalathini)</li><li>Women Entrepreneurs in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (Wassim J Aloulou, Veland Ramadani, Mohammad Alarifi, and Rasim Zuferi)</li><li>Women Entrepreneurs in Syria (Aidin Salamzadeh, Mirjana Radovic-Markovic, and Slimane Ed-Dafali)</li><li>Women Entrepreneurs in the United Arab Emirates (Sayed Abdul Majid Gilani, Naveed Yasin, and Abdullah Alshammaa)</li><li>Toward the Future (Dina Modestus Nziku)</li></ul>Readership: Students and researchers specialising in entrepreneurship.

Guanxi And Business

by Luo Yadong Luo

42,40€ + 10% CARD

 Guanxi (interpersonal relationship) is one of the major dynamics of Chinese society. It has been a pervasive part of the Chinese business world for the last few centuries. It binds literally millions of Chinese firms into a social and business web. It is widely recognized to be a key determinant of business performance, because the life-blood of the macro economy and micro business conduct in the society is the guanxi network. Any business in this society, including local firms as well as foreign investors and marketers, inevitably faces guanxi dynamics. No company can go far unless it has extensive guanxi in this setting. In China''s new, fast-paced business environment, guanxi has been more entrenched than ever, heavily influencing Chinese social behavior and business practice.Despite the current academic and practical interest in guanxi, there is no book-length treatment systematically and vigorously exploring the concept and practice from the business perspective. This book fills that gap by exploring the various social economic cultural, and business issues relating to the complex concept and practice of guanxi.

Guanxi And Business (Third Edition)

by Luo Yadong Luo

112,63€ + 10% CARD

 Interpersonal relationship (guanxi) is one of the major dynamics of Chinese society. Guanxi has been a pervasive part of the Chinese business world for the last few centuries. It binds literally millions of Chinese firms into a social and business web. In China''s new, fast-paced business environment, guanxi has become more entrenched than ever, heavily influencing Chinese political landscapes, social behavior, and business practice.This book delineates social and cultural principles and philosophies underlying guanxi dynamics, along with guanxi''s social norms that have been long embedded in the Chinese society. Although guanxi is embedded in almost every part of social life in China, companies demonstrate different needs and capacity toward guanxi cultivation. Chinese firms develop guanxi as a strategic mechanism to overcome competitive and resource disadvantages by cooperating and exchanging favors with government authorities and other stakeholders. This book presents an integrative framework about guanxi development according to institutional, strategic, and organizational factors. It further articulates how foreign firms adaptively develop their own legitimate and effective guanxi in China''s highly dynamic and complex environment.Guanxi is really dynamic that its practices have been constantly changing and its normative and cognitive legitimacy is shifting as the social and economic structures in the society are drastically transforming. For this reason, this third edition of the book has added numerous new and emergent issues such as moral degradation and guanxi, qualitative and quantitative review of guanxi studies, and guanxi ties between organizations.

Asian Models Of Entrepreneurship - From The Indian Union And Nepal To The Japanese Archipelago: Context, Policy And Practice (2nd Edition)

by Dana Leo-Paul Dana

33,13€ + 10% CARD

 In this book, Leo-Paul Dana makes it clear that much can be learnt about the nature of entrepreneurial activity when we delve into the unique characteristics of different nations of South Asia, South-east Asia and East Asia. Through in-depth analyses and comprehensive reviews of many Asian countries, the profound differences both among and within countries of the region become vividly apparent. Dana juxtaposes the explosion in entrepreneurial growth within China against the struggles to build an entrepreneurial community in Japan, or the enlightened public policy leadership in Singapore against the crisis-driven developments in Korea. The range of factors identified within each of the 15 countries examined by Dana is not an example of random influences on the entrepreneurial process, because they can be construed in more systematic and logical ways. Thus, the book uncovers the Chinese model of gradual transition, the Royal Cambodian model, and the Doi-Moi model, among many others. The reader is challenged to grasp these different models, and identify their commonalities and differences.
