They start companies and create new industries that keep economies strong and prosperous. Today, however, in developing nations such as China, state-controlled economies are building robust industries at stunning speed and siphoning off jobs from the West. How can entrepreneurs function in the face of this challenge? Can they continue to create economic value in a globalized business environment? This book addresses the crucial issue of state planning vs. free enterprise and examines specific problems surrounding entrepreneurship in the global economy through nine case histories of entrepreneurial companies. It also looks at how and why government gets involved in economic growth and how entrepreneurs contribute to economic value. Based on this analysis, the authors argue that companies can succeed, even in controlled economies, by understanding the customs and policies of countries where they do business. 606 $aEntrepreneurship 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aFree trade 606 $aIndustrial policy 606 $aEconomic policy 606 $aGlobalization$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aEntrepreneurship. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 0$aFree trade. 615 0$aIndustrial policy. 615 0$aEconomic policy. 615 0$aGlobalization$xEconomic aspects. 676 $a338/.04 686 $aBUS025000$2bisacsh 700 $aKressel$b Henry$0463857 702 $aLento$b Thomas V. 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790486903321 996 $aEntrepreneurship in the global economy$93850755 997 $aUNINA
