Entrepreneurship and Development in South Asia: Longitudinal Narratives

The series aims to provide a unique new insight into entrepreneurship and development in South Asia, using a longitudinal narrative approach based on qualitative empirical analysis of actual developments on the ground. The focus is on new business and social enterprise creation and their impact on opportunity creation, job creation, contribution to local GDP, resolution of regional economic and social issues, the environment, and social attitudes towards entrepreneurship and innovation in all their forms (i.e. business and social). It especially examines the relationship between policy and practice and the mediating effects of context and institutions on this relationship. The series will cover policy issues concerning entrepreneurship, innovation and economic development as they affect people, organisations and the environment in specific regions in South Asia.
