Book Description
Este libro nos invita a reflexionar, desde una perspectiva local, sobre una problemática mundial: el modo como los Estados generaron políticas públicas para paliar los efectos de la pandemia por el COVID-19. El libro, entre otras cosas, plantea que el actual modelo de Estado en Latinoamérica se encuentra en crisis por su incapacidad para resolver de manera efectiva las necesidades y requerimientos de las mayorías. El modo como ha sido planteado y desarrollado el tema propone alternativas eficaces y eficientes que, desde posibilidades colaborativas e híbridas, servirían para superar las contradicciones de la democracia. Sin duda, se trata de un trabajo riguroso y reflexivo que nos invita a observar de manera crítica y propositiva lo que hicieron los gobiernos durante la pandemia por el COVID-19.

Book Description
Entrepreneurship can, at times, seem like a veritable jungle where finding one's way can prove to be difficult. This book functions as a map locating the most important issues: those where an acceptable consensus already exists, and those that remain open to discussion. In so doing, we have presented the accounts of distinguished explorers in their own words.

The Illusions of Entrepreneurship
Author: Scott A. Shane
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300150067
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
There are far more entrepreneurs than most people realize. But the failure rate of new businesses is disappointingly high, and the economic impact of most of them disappointingly low, suggesting that enthusiastic would-be entrepreneurs and their investors all too often operate under a false set of assumptions. This book shows that the reality of entrepreneurship is decidedly different from the myths that have come to surround it. Scott Shane, a leading expert in entrepreneurial activity in the United States and other countries, draws on the data from extensive research to provide accurate, useful information about who becomes an entrepreneur and why, how businesses are started, which factors lead to success, and which predict a likely failure. The Illusions of Entrepreneurship is an essential resource for everyone who has dreamed of starting a new business, for investors in start-ups, for policy makers attempting to facilitate the formation and survival of new businesses, and for researchers interested in the economic impact of entrepreneurial activity. Scott Shane offers research-based answers to these questions and many others: · Why do people start businesses? · What industries are popular for start-ups? · How many jobs do new businesses create? · How do entrepreneurs finance their start-ups? · What makes some locations and some countries more entrepreneurial than others? · What are the characteristics of the typical entrepreneur? · How well does the typical start-up perform? · What strategies contribute to the survival and profitability of new businesses over time?

Hybrid Entrepreneurship
Author: Matthias Schulz
Publisher: BoD – Books on Demand
ISBN: 3844105360
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 154
Book Description
The preponderance of research regards entrepreneurial entry as a dichotomous choice between paid employment and entrepreneurship. Most classic models on the emergence of entrepreneurship either neglect or exclude the opportunity of engaging in both occupations at the same time. This view stands in contrast to increasing evidence that the majority of firm entry around the world occurs by individuals who simultaneously engage in paid employment and self-employment, an entry mode which has been termed hybrid entrepreneurship. 58% of all start-ups in Sweden have been found to be started in hybrid entrepreneurship and even in R&D-pursuing start-ups in Germany, this type of business entry represents 27% of all entrants. Next to this high prevalence of hybrid entrepreneurs among entrepreneurs, there are at least three reasons why these hybrid entrepreneurs should receive more attention. First, as hybrid entrepreneurs are often better educated than pure entrepreneurs, their business ideas might be expected to result in more high-growth ventures. Second, businesses run in pure entrepreneurship survive longer on average if they have been founded in hybrid entrepreneurship. Third, regardless of whether or not hybrid entrepreneurs generate greater economic impact than pure entrepreneurs, their relevance also emerges from their potential to evolve into valuable full-time businesses that otherwise would not have existed. This thesis therefore aims to advance research on hybrid entrepreneurship by revealing its importance for policymaking and entrepreneurship research, the various areas of research touched by it, and its role in entrepreneurial exit processes.

Husbands at Home
Author: Jane Wheelock
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1040050913
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 175
Book Description
First Published in 1990, Husbands at Home gives a clear picture of the relationship between the domestic and the formal economy. Who does the housework when men become unemployed? Is a true reversal of gender roles possible? Jane Wheelock discovered, despite sociologists’ expectations, that most men are willing to share domestic labour with their (still working) female partners. Wheelock uses her research among families in North East England, an area of acute unemployment in traditional male industries, as a basis for this panoramic study. She provides extensive, empirical, and theoretical coverage of the household economy, linking it with the process of regional and global restructuring. The study challenges the assumptions made by economists that households operate on the basis of economic rationality. Including both men and women in her analysis, Wheelock underlines the contradictions arising from the need to reconcile conflicts between self-respect, traditional patriarchal views, and the rationality imposed by the market. The book analyses the role of the state and benefit system in perpetuating gender ideologies, arguing that imaginative state policies could transform gender roles in a post-industrial society. This book will be useful to students in a variety of disciplines, including economics, sociology, and social policy, and will be a particular interest to those on women’s studies and regional studies courses.

Theory of Economic Development
Author: Joseph Schumpeter
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351472208
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
Schumpeter proclaims in this classical analysis of capitalist society first published in 1911 that economics is a natural self-regulating mechanism when undisturbed by "social and other meddlers." In his preface he argues that despite weaknesses, theories are based on logic and provide structure for understanding fact.Of those who argue against him, Schumpeter asks a fundamental question: "Is it really artificial to keep separate the phenomena incidental to running a firm and the phenomena incidental to creating a new one?" In his answers, Schumpeter offers guidance to Third World politicians no less than First World businesspeople.In his substantial new introduction, John E. Elliott discusses the salient ideas of The Theory of Economic Development against the historical background of three great periods of economic thought in the last two decades.
