Identifying a new approach to disaster response: spontaneous, compassionate, and impromptu actions to alleviate suffering.
In Spontaneous Venturing, Dean Shepherd and Trenton Williams identify and describe a new approach for responding to disaster and suffering: the local organizing of spontaneous, compassionate, and impromptu actions--the rapid emergence of a compassionate venture. This approach, termed by the authors "spontaneous venturing," can be more effective than the traditional "command-and-control" methods of large disaster relief organizations. It can customize and target resources and deliver them quickly, helping victims almost immediately. For example, during the catastrophic 2009 bushfires in Victoria, Australia--the focal disaster for the book--residents organized an impromptu relief center that collected and distributed urgently needed goods without red tape. Special bonds and friendships formed among the volunteers and victims; some were both volunteer and victim. Many victims were able to mobilize resources despite considerable personal losses.
Shepherd and Williams describe the lasting impact of disaster and tell the stories of Victoria residents who organized in the aftermath of the bushfires. They consider the limitations of traditional disaster relief efforts and explain that when victims take action to help others, they develop behavioral, emotional, and assumptive resilience; venturing leads to social interaction, community connections, and other positive outcomes. Finally, they explore spontaneous venturing in a less-developed country, investigating the activities of Haitians after the devastating 2010 earthquake. The lesson for communities hit by disaster: find opportunities for compassionate action.

Описание: Sometimes it's not a college degree that will make someone successful. Sometimes all it takes is a good idea, and the drive to seek the resources to help mold the idea into a plan and into reality. Making the Steve Jobs Movie is a dialogue between first-time movie producer Mark Hulme and several of his professional peers about the process to take the story of Steve Jobs and his irrefutable success to the big screen. It isn't a nuts-and-bolts story of the movie industry, and it isn't a story of what one entrepreneur should do to make his idea come to fruition. Instead, Making the Steve Jobs Movie reveals an inside-look into the discussions - in essence, a "visual" how to - that make successful ideas into successful realities. Joe Mancuso has more than 50 years' of experience as a successful entrepreneur and is the founder of CEO Clubs, of which Mark Hulme and his peers are members. With his help and the dialogue within Making the Steve Jobs Movie, Mancuso shows how anyone can apply the same principals and efforts as Jobs did to Apple and how Hulme did to his movie into making their own ideas and their own businesses successful.

Описание:
Economic development is a priority for all nation-states, whether developing or developed. In recent times, a few among the developing nations - often referred to as the emerging economies - have attracted the world's attention because of their fast pace of economic growth. While the similarities among these nations (for example the BRICS) in the pattern of their economic growth are highlighted and discussed, the differences are often glossed over. This book, therefore, attempts to present the diverse ways in which entrepreneurship is facilitated in emerging economies, through a compilation of research papers from six different countries (India, China, Singapore, Hong Kong, Nigeria and New Zealand) belonging to the class of emerging economies. The papers included in this book cover a variety of topics related to the creation and management of an entrepreneurial ecosystem, such as intercultural interactions, IPR issues, government policies for SMEs, social entrepreneurship, opportunity identification, green entrepreneurship, employee entrepreneurship, symbiotic ventures and social capital, social fluidity mapping for reducing failure stigma, green awareness in the corporate world and among entrepreneurs, venture capital for growth, immigrant entrepreneurs, entrepreneurial success and life satisfaction, among others. The contributions are supported by an introductory chapter that provides an integrative framework by unifying the diverse patterns of economic development in the different countries under various institutional inadequacies as a process of "muddling-through to development", necessitated by the non-systematic development of the ecosystem for new venture creation. This book is indeed a must-read for those interested in understanding the process of entrepreneurship and economic development in emerging economies.
The Way Forward for Disruptors and Innovators Around the World
We are in the midst of a startup revolution. The growth and proliferation of innovation-driven startup activity globally is profound and unprecedented. Today, it is understood that communities of support and knowledge-sharing go along with other resources. The importance of collaboration and a long-term commitment has gained acceptance by entrepreneurs and startup community builders. These principles are at the forefront of the leadership behind many startup communities around the world.
And yet, much more work is still needed. Startup activity is highly concentrated in large, elite cities. Governments and other actors such as large corporations and universities are not collaborating with each other nor with entrepreneurs as well as they could. Too often, these actors try to control activity or impose their view from the top-down, rather than supporting an environment that is lead from the bottom-up principally by entrepreneurs. We continue to see a disconnect between an entrepreneurial mindset and that of many individuals and organizations who wish to engage with and support local entrepreneurs. There are structural reasons for this, but we can overcome many of these obstacles with appropriate focus and sustained practice.
No one tells this story better than acclaimed author and investor Brad Feld and Ian Hathaway, an entrepreneur and writer. The Startup Community Way: Evolving an Entrepreneurial Ecosystem--the much-anticipated sequel to Feld's bestselling book Startup Communities: Building an Entrepreneurial Ecosystem in Your City--explores what makes startup communities thrive and how to improve collaboration in these rapidly-evolving, complex environments.
The Startup Community Way is an explanatory guide for startup communities, rooted in the theory of complex systems and the practice of community-building in many contexts. This book establishes the systemic properties of entrepreneurial ecosystems and explains why their complex nature leads people to make predictable mistakes. Among these are the Myth of Quantity, the Illusion of Control, the Absence of a Blueprint, and the Measurement Trap. As complex systems, value creation occurs in startup communities through the interaction of the "parts"--the people, organizations, resources, and conditions involved--not the parts themselves. This continual process of bottom-up interactions unfolds naturally, producing value in novel and unexpected ways. Through this, the whole becomes greater and substantially different than what seems possible from an examination of the parts alone.
Because of this, participants must take a fundamentally different approach to startup community building than is common in much of our civic and professional lives. Participants must take a whole-system view, rather than simply trying to optimize their individual piece of the puzzle. They must also prioritize experimentation and learning over planning and execution. Complex systems are uncertain and unpredictable. They cannot be controlled, only guided and influenced. Each startup community is unique. Replication is enticing but impossible. The race to become "The Next Silicon Valley" is futile--even Silicon Valley couldn't recreate itself.
Advancing the practice of building startup communities and evolving entrepreneurial ecosystems, this book:
Offers practical, real-world advice for entrepreneurs, community builders, government officials, and other stakeholders who want to harness the power of entrepreneurship in their city
Describes the core components of startup communities and entrepreneurial ecosystems, as well as an explanation of the differences between these two related, but distinct concepts
Advances a new framework for effective startup community building based on the theory of complex adaptive systems and a
