Female entrepreneurship is viewed as a pathway to economic growth, unlocking the abilities of 50% of the population that in many cultures ends up shut off from economic opportunity (Kobeissi, 2010).

and private investment, re-station unutilized or underemployed resources into productive uses, and provide increased prospects for entrepreneurship (Rondinelli, 1976). In a wide-ranging setting, projects have grown to become, in numerous developing nations, instruments for social change and as components for greater social programs and sector plans. The projects can generate the capacity for amending severe projects that hamper growth and interrupt advancement. Pilot projects provide a prospect for organizations situated in developing countries to express development issues and test alternative forms of solutions. As expressed by Rondinelli (1976), demonstration projects facilitate the increase in the suitability of new technology or alter perspectives and standards. The outputs… Continue Reading...

The economy is a result of human behavior because a country must prioritize its economic goals to determine how to deal with scarce resources. Some countries have a command economy, where the centralized government essentially sets the prices for all goods.

countries obtaining patents,” 2016). And as the Kuwait Times (2018) reports, “Kuwait has witnessed an extraordinary rise in entrepreneurship and small business start-ups.” Many Kuwaitis are using Instagram, for instance, as online store fronts to showcase products and boost sales, which is an innovative approach to business that correlates well with the local culture (Greenfield, 2013). However, one of the biggest factors in business growth is price. The GM Case Study shows that no matter what the brand is or how great the engineering may be, consumers are always going to be attracted to low prices. For businesses in Kuwait the lesson to be learned here is that… Continue Reading...

Annotation: This article is about the “dark side” traits of various personality types. The “dark side” traits are really just the “negative extremes” of positive personality traits, but have been shown in the literature to be strongly correlated with organizational or personal entrepreneurial success (Klotz & Neubaum, 2015, p. 7). For example, the positive trait of confidence can be overshadowed at times by the negative extreme of overconfidence or narcissism. Passion can manifest negatively as aggressiveness; creative thinking as… Continue Reading...
the strongest economy in the world. The economy boasts leadership in areas such as innovation, entrepreneurship, higher education, communications infrastructure, capital markets, and business management (Porter et al., 2016). These aspects make the U.S. economy an envy of many countries around the world. In addition, the economy has demonstrated quite impressive recovery since the devastating 2008/2009 recession. Despite these strengths, the economy has been deteriorating in the last one decade or so, with many of the economic indicators declining to disturbing levels. Indeed, the competitiveness of the economy has been eroding since the late 1990s (Porter et al., 2016). There has been reduced growth in… Continue Reading...

As a result of all these strengths, one can clearly give F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby the designation of the great American novel.… Continue Reading...

Scarce Land in Hong Kong
Land, capital, labour and entrepreneurship constitute the four factors of production. These are referred to as factors of production because people need them in their economic production ventures. Hong Kong, like many fast growing cities with vast population, is running short of land. In fact, it is already, a scarce resource. Problems such as insufficient housing are all due partly to the scarcity of land. Land is also required for public infrastructure and commercial structures. When land is scarce as it is in Hong Kong, it is the people who bear the brunt of… Continue Reading...
