The Determinants Of Entrepreneurial Income In South Carolina, Devin Swindall
The Determinants Of Entrepreneurial Income In South Carolina, Devin Swindall
All Theses
Supporters claim that entrepreneurship is critical to building and sustaining the economy of urban and rural areas across the nation. Proponents argue that economic development practices that enhance and support entrepreneurship are essential because they cultivate innovation which, in turn, provides the area with new jobs, new wealth, and a better quality of life. However, self-employment income growth in South Carolina in particular and in the United States in general has lagged growth in income from other sources. This fact raises the need to study the determinants of self-employed income. Using the literature as a guide, a conceptual model was …

The Influence Of Vietnam’S Administrative Reform On Entrepreneurial Orientation In Micro-Enterprises, Mai T T Thai
The Influence Of Vietnam’S Administrative Reform On Entrepreneurial Orientation In Micro-Enterprises, Mai T T Thai
Mai T T Thai
Basing on the results of a face-to-face survey and secondary data from General Statistics Office of Vietnam, we found that the administration reform of Vietnam has had a positive impact on entrepreneurial orientation (EO) on all of its three dimensions, namely managerial perception, firm behavior, and resource allocation in Vietnamese micro-enterprises. The firms have shown to take higher risks and be more proactive but they have not put an emphasis on innovation yet. In this paper, we present the reform’s milestones and the evolution of EO in Vietnamese microenterprises along these three dimensions.

Standout Attractions, Jonathan Jeffrey
SCL Faculty and Staff Publications
Living in Chicago and working as a traveling salesman in the 1920s-1930s, Duncan Hines had a hobby—visiting and assessing restaurants. He said he was looking for “standout attractions in the culinary department.” His hobby eventually made this native of Bowling Green “America’s foremost food authority” and one of the most recognized Kentuckians of the twentieth century. This article traces the biography of the culinary entrepreneur from his early years in Bowling Green to his successful publishing ventures, and finally to the phenomenal marketing strategy that was used to create one of America’s most enduring and endearing brands.
Communities In The Global Economy: Where Social And Indigenous Entrepreneurship Meet, Robert B. Anderson, Benson Honig, Ana Maria Peredo
Communities In The Global Economy: Where Social And Indigenous Entrepreneurship Meet, Robert B. Anderson, Benson Honig, Ana Maria Peredo
Robert B Anderson
With the advent of industrialization, indigenous people around the world have suffered greatly as a result of shifting economic forces, advancing technologies, encroaching population centres, social acculturation, and colonial expansion (Cardoso, 2001). Once self-reliant and socially cohesive, indigenous communities have suffered, to varying degrees, both geographical and population dislocations (World Bank, 2001). What receives less attention, but is also important, is the degree of cohesion that remains and the desire among many indigenous people to rebuild their communities on a traditional and culturally grounded foundation while simultaneously improving their social and economic circumstances (Harvey, 1996; Lurie, 1986; Vinje, 1996). Many …

Indigenous Land Rights, Entrepreneurship, And Economic Development, Robert B. Anderson, Leo-Paul Dana, Teresa Dana
Robert B Anderson
Indigenous people are struggling to reassert their nationhood within the post-colonial states in which they find themselves. Claims to their traditional lands and the right to use the resources of these lands are central to their drive to nationhood. Traditional lands are the ‘place’ of the nation and are inseparable from the people, their culture, and their identity as a nation. Traditional lands and resources are the foundation upon which indigenous people intend to rebuild the economies of their nations and so improve the socioeconomic circumstance of their people—individuals, families, communities, and nations. This paper explores business development activities that …

Towards A Theory Of Indigenous Development, Ana Maria Peredo, Robert B. Anderson, Craig S. Galbraith, Benson Honig, Leo-Paul Dana
Robert B Anderson
Indigenous populations throughout the world suffer from chronic poverty, lower education levels, and poor health. The ‘second wave’ of indigenous development, after direct economic assistance from outside, lies in indigenous efforts to rebuild their ‘nations’ and improve their lot through entrepreneurial enterprise. This paper suggests that there is a distinguishable kind of activity appropriately called ‘indigenous entrepreneurship’. We begin by defining the indigenous population and noting some general facts about their numbers and distribution. In an effort to discern the potential for development on indigenous peoples’ own terms, we then explore three frameworks for understanding efforts at development, including indigenous …
Aboriginal Economic Development And Entreprenership, Robert B. Anderson, Robert G. Giberson
Aboriginal Economic Development And Entreprenership, Robert B. Anderson, Robert G. Giberson
Robert B Anderson
This chapter explores economic development and entrepreneurship among Aboriginal' people in Canada as a particular instance of Indigenous entrepreneurship and development activity worldwide. In tum, Indigenous entrepreneurship, and the economic development that flows from it, can be considered a particular sub-set of ethnic entrepreneurship. What makes Indigenous entrepreneurship a particular and distinct instance of ethic entrepreneurship is the strong tie between the process and place - the historic lands of the particular Indigenous group involved. With Aboriginal populations there is also often a strong component of "nation-building," or more correctly re building. This is in contrast with instances of entrepreneurship …
