Book Description
INTRODUCTION Integration is a challenge for any country that welcomes a large number of immigrants from various regions from all over the world. Integration is defined as the act of adapting to a country and its culture. For a long time, Canada has been considered as a promised land for economic migrants who are shunted from place to place as a result of globalization, poverty and a lack of transparency in certain countries’ governments. This multicultural, bilingual country has distinguished itself through its favorable politics towards economic migrants. The latter are able to obtain permanent resident status through a selection process that uses professional and other socioeconomic criteria. Citizenship is then granted to those who decided to stay in the country and invest in a life that goes from diaspora to transmission, from generation to generation, of a mixed heritage. But when does one feel integrated? To put it bluntly, a seamless integration requires sufficient revenue and a cultural as well as personal identity that is based in the elements of reference of the local community. For example, in Quebec, French is a necessary aspect of distinction and community. From students in higher education to qualified workers and professionals, the two key elements to integration will call for specific strategies that depend on where a person is in life when he or she starts out on this journey of social achievement. What are the strategies necessary for successfully integrating into local society? For immigrants, one of the solutions is to turn towards entrepreneurship, either full time or part time. These choices can be motivated by barriers to employment or by chances that a country’s economic situation offers migrants to reach the two criteria previously cited as necessary for integration. The wheel does not need to be reinvented, and there are many guides such as “ImmigrAffaires” by SAJE and “Entrepreneurship in Quebec” by Immigrant Québec, just to name a few, that offer a wealth of practical information on the resources available for immigrants who want to start their own business. My goal here is to offer advice on how to better use these resources and to give the point of view of an immigrant and, by extension, of a generation of immigrants. This guide will first approach immigration strategies with an entrepreneurial focus, all while evaluation the other options available for succeeding in realizing one’s life goal in the city that we chose to base either a part of our life, or all of it. This guide aims to help others avoid certain pitfalls, as well as serve as a collection of the collective memory of a community of ethnic entrepreneurs. We welcome you as we navigate the different stages that you, as an immigrant, will face while trying to find your place in your city’s economy.

Book Description
This collection of essays addresses the meaning and practice of political citizenship in China over the past century, raising the question of whether reform initiatives in citizenship imply movement toward increased democratization. After slow but steady moves toward a new conception of citizenship before 1949, there was a nearly complete reversal during the Mao regime, with a gradual reemergence beginning in the Deng era of concerns with the political rights as well as the duties of citizens. The distinguished contributors to this volume address how citizenship has been understood in China from the late imperial era to the present day, the processes by which citizenship has been fostered or undermined, the influence of the government, the different development of citizenship in mainland China and Taiwan, and the prospects of strengthening citizens' rights in contemporary China. Valuable for its century-long perspective and for placing the historical patterns of Chinese citizenship within the context of European and American experiences, Changing Meanings of Citizenship in Modern China investigates a critical issue for contemporary Chinese society.

Book Description
INTRODUCTION At the request of my fellow Consultants of The Wisemen Council, and in order to refresh my own ideas on a battle that I am fighting on a broad front to the point of forgetting certain aspects, I decided to write this monograph to give a global presentation of what the Ka Method is. Of course, it was not a question of repeating the content already created, but of making a sort of short glossary of the main book in order to explain the main points with the help of the Spirit. It is a form of synthesis review before the beginning of the phase of this project which aims at anchoring the Vision in Reality. I deliver it to you without much filter so that you can take the measure of the challenge as I live it daily.

Book Description
Citizenship and Sustainability in Organizations: Exploring and Spanning the Boundaries is the introductory book in the series of the same name and draws upon new conceptual thinking from some of the leading contributors to The Journal of Corporate Citizenship on topics of social responsibility, organizational citizenship, influencing and leading change for sustainability and individual agency. Chapter authors are influential thinkers, pushing the boundaries of conventional thinking about corporate citizenship and sustainability to generate innovative ideas, models and practices. The book’s core message is that the contexts within which organizations and individuals act are undergoing significant change and disruption. Existing corporate social responsibility (CSR), corporate citizenship and business sustainability models and frameworks need to be adapted, abandoned or transformed. This book represents a starting point for dialogue about these challenges and presents commentaries, debates, essays and insights that aim to be provocative and engaging, raise some of the important issues of the day and provide observations on what may be too new yet to be the subject of detailed empirical and theoretical studies. The book is aimed at researchers, students and practitioners in the fields of corporate citizenship, sustainability, CSR, business ethics, corporate governance and critical management and leadership studies.

Book Description
This book focuses on Akan-speaking Ghanaians in London and explores in detail the experience of African migrants living in Britain, investigating how they construct their British citizenship through their membership of the church. Building on extensive ethnographic research in London and Ghana, the author explores the relationship between religion and citizenship, the emergence of transnational subjectivities, and the making of diaspora aesthetics among African migrants. Starting from the understanding that citizenship is dialogical, a status mediated by a subject’s multiple and intersecting identities, the author highlights the limitations of existing conceptualisations of migrant citizenship. Anchored in a case study of the British/Ghanaian Methodist Church as a transnational religious organisation and cultural polity, the book explores diasporic religious subjectivities as both cosmopolitan and transnational, while being configured in emotionally and morally significant ways by the Methodist Church, as well as family, ethnicity, and nation. Interdisciplinary by nature, this book will be of interest to a wide range of researchers and scholars across the social sciences and humanities working in the fields of anthropology, religion, sociology, postcolonial studies, and African studies, and additionally policy makers interested in diaspora and migration studies.

Book Description
Most of the time, the mindset of a foreign entrepreneur is preoccupied with perfecting the art of being successful, attending conferences, reading books, finding all sorts of inspirational quotes that drive up their ego to be self-employed. They are easily swayed by the "become your own boss" tagline which only scratch the surface of how hard it is to build a business abroad. They are easily fascinated by the success stories of building a social media company from a dorm room or building one of the world's most valuable company from a garage, but they forget to ask, where are the stories of their sleepless nights? Their journeys. How did they manage to be a father and an entrepreneur? Moreover, how did they find the perfect work-life balance? Did they deal with debts? Manage investor tantrums and build partnerships? Backed by research, Davies takes on the very fabrics of "Get Rich Quick Syndrome", "Get Rich or Die Trying", and "Dorm to Dollars" stories that have flushed the internet, the book provides in-depth analysis of what you need to be aware of to become a successful entrepreneur. The book captures the reality of the struggles of a foreign entrepreneur and highlights the 9 dependencies that can make or break the entrepreneur. The stories included in the book encompasses the real-life situations that Davies encountered while transitioning to Europe and his escapades from being a nobody to owning businesses. Foreignpreneur is a model for change of the basic mindset of an entrepreneur, that success should not be the de-facto thought when starting a business in a new society. Davies defines "Foreignpreneur." As an individual who owns or aspires to own a business in a new society where the culture, the people, the language and environment is different from what that individual is accustomed to. With over 10 years of experience as an entrepreneur and employee; the author argues that: "In business and to succeed in life, you will need to make hard decisions and painstakingly back those decisions. Becoming a business founder or an executive is hard, and building one as a foreigner is even harder." This book is ideal as self-help for --- startup founders, entrepreneurs, both those living abroad and in their local country, anyone who intends to think like a foreign entrepreneur or someone who wants to start a business or motivate themselves from the stories of others. * Reviews "Vibrant, educative, and motivating read! Every phase of the generic path of a foreign entrepreneur is captured; from first steps to hits and misses, as well as scaling up success!" -- Obinna Nwachukwu (Automotive Engineer at Bosch Magyarország & TEDx Speaker) "Foreignpreneur® gives you insight into the real-life of an entrepreneur and provides you the opportunity to learn from personal stories. It will prevent you from falling into the trap of the typical entrepreneur stories all over the internet, which doesn't show you the fundamentals of building a business, but rather, how cool it is to live a luxury life as a CEO. This book is a must-read before you hit roadblocks, which can be eliminated if you were aware of the information that's given to you in this book!" -- Samir Huseynzade (Application Developer) Why should you get this book? You may have thought about how to start a business at home or abroad? Perhaps, how to start a small business or a blog or how to start a conversation with a potential partner? However, you plan on moving to a new society in a couple of weeks? Which means targeting a new audience, or operating your business online from a different country? Without building a proper business strategy, knowledge of business economics, startup fundraising, international law, international relations, trade law, and advanced models and methodology like the lean startup analysis to transform your idea to profitability and become an international player in the market. You may fail!

Book Description
Entrepreneurship is defined in different fields with definitions ranging from a specific perspective such as starting a business to a broader perspective such as a process of establishing new social, economic, environmental, institutional, cultural and/or scientific environments. There has been some movement toward entrepreneurship in STEM education through hackathons and makerspaces, but they tend to be limited to informal settings. In higher education, there seems to be a border line between business schools and education departments. This book aims to remove the borders between the Business Schools and the Department of Education and help Business Schools to develop their educational practices further and help Education Departments to develop their knowledge of entrepreneurship from its formal discipline. The purpose of this book is to bring together experts from STEM education and the formal discipline of entrepreneurship to explore the role of STEM in everyday life through an entrepreneurial lens and show how this integration can broaden STEM education practices.

Book Description
This comprehensive book covers the theory and practice of Business Improvement Districts or BIDs – partnerships between local communities and governments established to revitalize neighborhoods and catalyze economic development in a region. In this book, author Seth Grossman demonstrates the ways in which BIDs work, pull stakeholders together, and acquire funds to manage the difficult process of community revitalization especially in urbanized, threatened town centers. BIDs also blur traditional lines between public and private organizations, and their governance raises critical new questions about democratic representation, accountability, transparency, and responsiveness. As this book illustrates, BID managers act as public entrepreneurs, and management in the public realm requires community development skills (community planning, organization and leadership) and economic expertise (jobs, business development, housing and public infrastructure). Through an in-depth examination of Business Improvement Districts and their managers we begin to see that the future of public administration might no longer be contained behind the walls of formal government, with an increasing number of public administrators defining and creating public solutions to real life commercial problems. This book is essential reading for all practicing urban and regional administrators and government officials, as well as students studying public administration, public management, and urban and regional politics.
