Description

Many developing countries are in a state of transition as they strive to move from a subsistence-oriented, tightly integrated, inward-looking economy to a surplus-seeking, market-led, outward-looking economy. This book develops conceptual models to explain entrepreneurship, focuses on the entrepreneur as a person, looks at small scale and rural enterprises and identifies management skills necessary to start and sustain small businesses.
