Entrepreneurship has become a popular career option in developed and developing countries, and a subject of interest for researchers and policymakers. This book introduces several important topics relevant to entrepreneurship and the process of creating, or giving birth to, a new business. The chapters cover definitions and types of entrepreneurship; the relationships among entrepreneurship, innovation and development; research on entrepreneurship, comparative research into entrepreneurship in multiple countries and research into cross-border entrepreneurship (i.e., international activity of small-and medium-sized enterprises and new ventures); factors influencing entrepreneurial activities; motivational traits of prospective entrepreneurs; the influence of societal culture on entrepreneurial activities and attitudes regarding entrepreneurship as a career path; the influence of the institutional environment on entrepreneurship; and the role of entrepreneurs in launching new businesses. Chapter 1 offers an overview and definitions of entrepreneurship. From an economic perspective, entrepreneurship is generally conceptualized as the creation of a new business and the bearing of the risk associated with that business in exchange for profits to be derived from the exploitation of opportunities in the marketplace (e.g., demands of consumers that are not currently being satisfied). One of the most famous types of entrepreneurship, one that has also become closely aligned with conceptualizations of entrepreneurship, is Schumpeter's "creative destruction." In Schumpeter's view, the entrepreneur is driven by innovation, which can take the form of a totally new product or process or an innovative change to existing products or processes, which ultimately "destroy," or render obsolete, products and processes that have been used in the past.

Trust: Creating the Foundation for Entrepreneurship in Developing Countries is a four-chapter book with an introduction published by Berrett-Koehler Publisher in 2018 and written by Tarun Khanna, professor at Harvard Business School. Entrepreneurs in developing countries with great ideas cannot rely on the usual foundations for an efficient business climate-laws, regulatory oversight, and government protections-as they might in the developed world. As a result, these entrepreneurs must not only create, but also create the conditions to create. One important lesson of this book is that obstacles to entrepreneurship and the necessary creation of trust in businesses in the developing world must be tackled holistically. The problems facing entrepreneurs in the developing world can neither be easily modularized nor tackled in bits and pieces. Professor Khanna shares many insights with readers on how to build and develop that trust. In the Introduction, Trust, Entrepreneurship and the Developing World (26 pages), Khanna argues that good ideas from the developing world can easily morph into failed ones-coupled with acrimony and mistrust-if an entrepreneur inadvertently presumes on the sustenance of trust-enhancing societal foundations that are much more robust in the developed world. In this context, the entrepreneurial solution is to embrace the situation and to explicitly focus on nurturing trust in myriad ways as a complement to whatever business or societal problem the entrepreneur intends to solve.

The problems facing entrepreneurs in the developing world can neither be easily modularized nor tackled in bits and pieces. Professor Khanna shares many insights with readers on how to build and develop that trust. In Chapter 1, The Why's and How's of Trust (36 pages), Khanna compares the dairy industries of China and India to reveal the why's and how's of trust. Why? Because trust weaves together in a web all those needed for productive enterprise-and because, when this web is torn, there's a dramatic fall from grace. How? There are many ways to weave this web of trust, even in the same prosaic context-the production of milk. The Chinese solution emphasizes speed and high technology. In this chapter, Khanna profiles an entrepreneur borrowing tricks from California's technology industry to make his cows "happy"-while the Indian solution is a slow-but-rock-solid, community-based solution developed over decades and anchoring the future. The disparate entrepreneurial paths to the same high-productivity goal share the emphasis on trust that cocoons everyone, from dairy farmer to end consumer.

Professor Khanna shares many insights with readers on how to build and develop that trust. In Chapter 2, The Mindset Change (26 pages), Professor Khanna argues that in the developing world, entrepreneurs must evolve their mindsets to look at problems as parts of an interconnected set that need to be addressed simultaneously. The entrepreneur rarely has the luxury of focusing only on a single aspect of a complex problem. Of course, this means that she faces a heavier burden than those in a more developed country setting. The story of a surgeon-entrepreneur, Dr. Devi Shetty, shows how this mindset change both elicits and contributes to the web of trust. Trust helps the entrepreneur create the conditions to create.

Professor Khanna shares many insights with readers on how to build and develop that trust. In Chapter 3, Building on Existing Social Norms (36 pages), Professor Khanna shows that entrepreneurs will find it far easier to weave their webs of trust in the developing world if they capitalize on constructive, preexisting social norms and practices. These have often been in place for decades, if not centuries, in long-running, thriving societies. In this chapter, this web of trust can be seen playing out on a nationwide scale with entrepreneurs trying to develop financially and socially sustainable microfinance firms in both Mexico and India, while in the process propelling millions of their clients-mostly poor women-out of their subsistence existence.

Professor Khanna shares many insights with readers on how to build and develop that trust. In Chapter 4, Working as a Team with the State (36 pages), Professor Khanna shows that the developing world is characterized by widespread mistrust of the state, with government seen as incompetent at best and corrupt at worst. Yet, Khanna contends, pillorying the state is pointless. In Brazil, the state made a successful push with conditional cash transfers to move people from poverty to subsistence. But would-be entrepreneurs there have stagnated, lacking a bridge to society's mainstream. If one thinks of the different parts of society as members of a team, the situation is much like the selecão-Brazil's fabled football team-which has fallen apart lately. In India, by contrast, an unlikely entrepreneurial partnership between technologists and the state has leapfrogged the world's tech leaders to provide a billion-plus residents a unique biometric identity where none existed earlier. Both Brazil and India spotlight the need to understand entrepreneurship as a team sport for it to have impact at scale.
