Kirjoittajan ensimmäinen kirja Miten innostua yrittäjyyteen saa odotetusti nyt rinnalleen toisen kirjan, mikä keskittyy erityisesti yrittäjätarinoihin. Tarinoiden kirjoittajiksi valikoituivat positiiviset, oman alansa huipputyypit, yrittäjäsankarit, joiden yrittäjyyteen kirjoittajalla on ollut ilo tutustua yrittäjyysvuosien aikana.Kirjasta hyötyvät niin yrittäjäksi aikovat, vasta-alkaneet yrittäjät kuin jo pitemmän aikaa yrittäjinä toimineet, jotka haluavat kehittää yritystoimintaansa. Tarinoiden opit yrittäjyydestä on myös hyvä pohja yritysmaailmassa toimivalle, markkinoinnista ja myynnistä vastaavalle hänen kartoittaessaan uusia ratkaisuja muun muassa markkinatilanteitten muutosvaiheissa. Tässä kirjassa yrittäjät eri toimialoilta ja eri puolilta Suomea kertovat oman yrittäjätarinansa, ja mitkä tekijät johtivat heidän ryhtymistään yrittäjiksi. Mitä he ovat yrittäjyyden myötä yrittäjyydestä ja elämästä oppineet. Tarinoiden kertojat avaavat rohkeasti omaa tarinaansa ja onnistumisiaan kuin myös tekemiään vaikeitakin ratkaisuja, joiden eteen he yrittäjinä ovat joutuneet markkinatilanteitten vaihdellessa ja esimerkiksi poikkeuksellisten olojen yllättäessä. Pitkistä työurista yritysmaailmassa ja yrittäjinä välittyvät heidän kokemuksensa ja näkemyksensä, miten yrittäjänä voi menestyä ja miten yrittäjän tulee vaikeissakin markkinatilanteissa hakea ja jatkuvan kouluttautumisen kautta löytää uusia menestymisen mahdollisuuksia yrittäjänä. Toisinaan se on vaatinut ainakin lyhyttä paluuta palkkatyöhön yrittäjyyden rinnalla. Menestys vaatii yrittäjänä kuitenkin aina asiakaslähtöisyyden ja vahvan innostuksen ylläpitämisen.

* With a Foreword by Sir Bob Geldof *'Josh Littlejohn is a rockstar of social impact. Paying It Forward is a much-needed reminder about what is really important.' - Irvine WelshWhen Josh Littlejohn started a small sandwich shop in his home city of Edinburgh, he would never have thought that, within ten years' time, it would be frequented by Hollywood megastars, that he would have opened a string of successful cafés across the UK, and that he would be honoured with an MBE by the Queen. Not to mention raising over £25 million to combat homelessness around the world. And all set in motion by a rough sleeper, named Pete, walking into his café one day and sheepishly asking for a job. Paying It Forward is part memoir, part manifesto for social entrepreneurship, and part manual for putting purpose ahead of profit. It reveals what social entrepreneurship is and how it can make a difference. How if only 20% of entrepreneurs became social entrepreneurs our world would be in a much better state. How we can 'Calculate Risks', why we should 'Help Just One Person' every day, and that 'If You Don't Ask, You Don't Get'. The path to being social entrepreneur is never a smooth one: Paying it Forward is the compass for finding your own path and making a difference in the world.

The Middle East was the region least impacted in the 2008 crisis, has investment systems markedly different to the West, is largely governed by Islamic Shari'a, and has varying forms of governance and institutional organization, which are not understood by many, nor how these systems shape entrepreneurial and industrial development. While the Middle East as a region has seen a small growth in entrepreneurship for women, and business scholarship on the Middle East has grown, there is no text in English that has brought critical insights from the Middle East together in a single volume.In examining women's entrepreneurship in the Middle East, this book aims to challenge Global North assumptions about the disempowering impacts of Islamic Shari'a and governance. Referring to the constraints of Islam on women's subjectivity and agency greatly misunderstands religious identity, of both men and women, and the way in which public administration and private sector institutions are organized in very different ways to Western regions. This timely text expands and adds new insights to the theorizations of women's entrepreneurship in the Middle East, through unravelling spatialized themes, and incorporates contemporary themes including: an Islamic science reading of women, work and venturing; changing families and entrepreneurship development; women managing social crises; Islamization, governance and women; Islamic feminist activisms and entrepreneurship; representations of women's entrepreneurship on social media; and women's collectives leading entrepreneurship via Facebook entrepreneurship.It will be of interest to researchers, academics, and students in the fields of entrepreneurship, gender, work and organizations.

The logistics chain involved in the corneal transplant process must be efficient, advocate quality and seek to optimise the use of time, a preponderant factor in the success of the procedures. This chain consists of a set of activities that are directed towards making it possible to carry out a transplant. Its focus is on making tissues or organs available to recipients, saving lives and giving hope to those who undergo transplantation because they find it to be the only, or perhaps the best, therapeutic option. Ratz, a scholar on the subject, states that transplants and their logistical operations have a particular characteristic, which is to "[...] supply a known, registered and queued demand with an uncertain supply that can occur at points from the north to the south of the country". With this in mind, the main aim of this work is to demonstrate, by means of a case study carried out at the Sorocaba Eye Bank (BOS), the chain of logistical activities, from the moment the tissues are received until they are made available for transplantation.
