Entrepreneurship and Reflexivity

This book focuses on reflexivity as applied to entrepreneurship in the countries of the Global South. Specifically, reflexivity represents a sociological notion designed to explain the structures of human beliefs; however, its usefulness in business and entrepreneurial frameworks is the gap that must be filled.

The text considers the fact that entrepreneurs in the Global South benefit from distinctive and diverse institutional peculiarities, in contrast to the nations of the Northern Hemisphere. Strongly influenced by historical, political, cultural, and economic factors, these factors have historical roots manifested in the role of government, the collaboration between companies and universities, the development of cultural heritage, and ethical values.

In providing an overview of entrepreneurship that is divergent from the traditional Western approaches, this work offers new, more holistic perspectives that consider subjective, contextual, and social factors to understand the complexity inherent to entrepreneurship to analyze the realities of the Global South, therefore expanding the knowledge and opportunities that lie ahead. It will generate debate among researchers about how reflexivity can be effectively incorporated into the region's entrepreneurial endeavors and public policies to optimize its social and economic contributions.

Provides a more complete and global vision of the challenges and opportunities of entrepreneurship in the Global South Formulates solutions for public policies and advocates for a more inclusive and sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystem Shows how grassroots entrepreneurship can be a driver for economic and regional development in the Global South

Klappentext
"This is a great edited book on entrepreneurship and reflexivity that takes a novel and original approach to developing new theory and practice on the global south. Each chapter takes a different perspective about how reflexivity is evident in entrepreneurial thinking. I highly recommend this book.
